Treating PIH in Asian Skin?

142683anon
Hi, I suffered an injury on my cheek a couple of months ago. The area has PIH (post inflammatory hyperpigmentation) and is now red/pink. My dermatologist thinks it will fade on it's own. However, I am interested in getting rid of it quicker. I know some procedures maybe contraindicated in asian skin because of a chance of further hyperpigmentation which is the last thing I want. What procedure(s) would you recommend that have a low chance of causing rebound hyperpigmentation. Thank you!
