Is there a way to remove post injury hyperpigmentation scars that won't fade on its own? (photo)

Asked By:pobda77 in Los Angeles, California

I was in an accident 2 years ago and my back got injured badly, I was left with hyperpigmentation scars that aren't fading. So far I've only tried tretinoin. Do I have any options, or is the pigmentation too deep for a chemical peel/laser to be effective?
