Best laser/treatment for scarring on African American skin? (Photo)

Honey Rose
Hello, I am an african american female with severe scarring on buttocks due to complications with folliculitis and picking. In the past I have used hydroquinone 3 % and hydroquinone 4% and it didnt lighten the marks much. I have heard getting a laser treatment would help, but I know it can be difficult finding the right laser for someone of my complexion. I would like to know what is the best laser for people of color . What other treatments should I try chemical peels and or microdermabrasion?
