What sort of treatment is suggested to get rid of scars with PIH on chest skin leftover from acne AND superficial 2nd degree burns? I have an olive complexion and there's no hypertrophy but I do have hyperpigmentation mixed with the hyperpigmentation. I got aerolase lightpod spot treatment on each of my scars and there was no change. Another aesthetician suggested VI body peel but not sure if it will go deep enough and I'm scared to get more pih. Thanks
