Understanding Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation PIH appears as dark brown, red, or purple spots on the skin after an inflammatory reaction, such as acne, burns, eczema, or allergic reactions. Unlike other types of pigmentation, PIH is not a scar—it results from increased melanin production rather than damage to skin tissue. • Some common triggers of PIH include: • Acne breakouts • Skin burns or injuries • Insect bites • Chemical peels or rough skin treatments • Prolonged sun exposure on previously irritated skin
Types of Laser Treatments for PIH • 1. Fractional Laser Therapy • Treats by producing minuscule micro-injuries to the skin that stimulate collagen development and cell renewal. • Aids in lightening pigmentation along with enhancing the texture of the skin. • Best for recalcitrant or deeply embedded PIH. • 2. Q-Switched Nd:YAG Laser • Hits and shatters unwanted melanin with high-energy pulses of light. • Appropriate for all types of skin and treats superficial and deep pigmentation effectively. • Limited downtime and rapid recovery.
3. Pico Laser Technology • Imparts picosecond-length pulses of laser energy that blast melanin deposits. • Works quicker than conventional lasers and is less likely to cause skin irritation. • Safe for darker skin types that are more likely to develop pigmentation problems. • 4. IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Therapy • Targets pigmentation using multiple wavelengths of light. • Ideal for treating mild PIH and patchy skin tone. • Also enhances overall skin clarity and radiance. • Advantages of Laser Therapy for PIH • Quick and efficient: Results within weeks as opposed to months or years with topical treatments. • Minimally invasive: No cuts or brutal chemicals. • Able for all skin types: New laser technologies are gentle enough for fair skin as well as darker complexions.
