Will hydroquinone fade the darkness of these scars? (photo)

happyplace3
These are scars caused by a PS that "attempted" to remove veins around my eyes. He did IPL and Erbium aggressively for several weeks because he said it would fade them. It's obvious that didn't happen. It has been six months since the surgery. There is one that is a divot in my temple. He attempted to fill it with filler, but it is still a substantial "ditch". I am very disheartened because I feel they will never lighten up. They are very noticeable to others as well. Any suggestions or words of hope?
