Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation

Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation, or PIH, is a condition where the skin produces excessive melanin following an inflammatory response, leading to dark spots or patches. It can occur after various skin conditions such as acne, eczema, or psoriasis, or following skin injuries. The severity and duration of PIH can vary based on the individual's skin type and the initial cause of inflammation. However, with appropriate treatment and care, PIH can be managed and the skin's appearance significantly improved.

We offer several treatment options for PIH, including IPL Laser Treatments, RF Microneedling, Laser Resurfacing, and Cryotherapy. These treatments aim to stimulate skin regeneration and even out skin tone by reducing excess melanin. It's important to note that each treatment plan is tailored to the individual's specific needs and skin type. In addition to these treatments, we also provide guidance on skincare routines and products to prevent further hyperpigmentation. 

Most patients find the treatments for PIH at Terra Skin Clinic to be quite tolerable. While some treatments may cause mild discomfort, we take measures to ensure patient comfort, such as using a topical anesthetic if necessary. After treatment, you may experience some temporary redness or swelling, but this typically subsides within a few days. It's important to remember that everyone's pain tolerance is different, and our team is here to make the process as comfortable as possible for you.
