What do I do for hyperpigmentation after laser hair removal?

fishek999
I had laser hair removal treatment 1.5 year ago and i had second degreee burn!I am attaching pictures of my belly after few days after treatment and 1.5 year after the treatment. I have used glycolic acid, vitamin C to bleach it and get rid of it, unfortunately it didnt work, I found out i can use Retin A and hydroquinone together in order to get rid of the hyperpigmentation, but how often and when do i need to apply it? Is it ever going to go away i am a bit worried as it has been 1.5 year!!
