TCA cross burn 9 months ago - How to treat? (photo)

I had TCA cross done about 9 months ago, it burnt my skin and left me with hyperpigmentation, most of the hyperpigmentation is gone on my face except for this one area, i went back to the clinic that done the TCA cross and they done numerous laser treatments and gave me hydroquinone to use at home (which I used for over 3 months) I cannot decide if this is a burn or hyperpigmentation? If it is a burn what treatments would be best ?

I'd suggest something that would penetrate the skin deeper such as InMode's Morpheus8 Body. A chemical peel will only improve the skin surface.
