What is the best way to get rid of PIH after Fraxel dual for brown skin?

jas jae
I had a fraxel treatment done on my cheeks four weeks ago. I started to notice PIH after 2nd week of treatment. I went back to my dermatologist and she prescribed me Obagi clear. It seems like the PIH is getting darker and darker every single day and it's very depressing. Make up does not cover it either.
