Are Repeated Microdermabrasion Sessions an Effective Method of Removing PIH Caused by Acne?

James in CA
I am 22 years old with olive-brown skin color (Hispanic). Is repeated microdermabrasion sessions with hydroquinone(2 week intervals) an effective way to remove post inflammatory hyperpigmentation caused by acne? Or should I pursue other options such as the Fraxel Restore laser?
