Hyperpigmentation 4 Weeks After a 25% TCA Peel, What Are my Options?

MSchnaier
I'm 38 and have light skin. I was due to have 3 more peels but my doctor has advised no more peels! He thinks this is due to sun exposure, and not applying sunscreen properly. What can I do to actively manage down the hyperpigmentation? Does this really mean no more peels, even with more discipline on sun protection? I also cannot have microdermabrasion because of broken blood vessels, and am looking for a treatment that would offer similar freshening results
