Treatment of hyperpigmentation while being on Accutane? (Photo)

Sus_Anne
I’ve been struggling with acne since I was 10. I’ve taken multiple courses of accutane and I now decided to stay on a low dose regime (20 mg/week). It works great. I realized that I have bad hyperpigmentation. I don’t want to stop accutane as I really was depressed by my acne. I think the hyperpigmentation comes from not using sun protection. What options do I have to treat it while staying on accutane? Is laser an option as my dosage is only so low? Thanks for your help
