01

Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) can leave dark marks after skin injury or inflammation. We offer treatments to fade discoloration and restore even tone.
Self Assessment
about Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation
Root Causes
PIH develops when the skin produces excess melanin as part of its healing process after inflammation or injury. Common triggers include acne, eczema, psoriasis, cuts, burns, or cosmetic procedures. UV exposure can darken these spots further and prolong their visibility.
Solutions
Our Bellevue clinic offers treatments that target pigmentation and promote skin renewal. Options include Carbon Peeling, IPL Photofacial, CO₂ Laser Resurfacing, and Morpheus8 RF microneedling to help break down excess melanin and stimulate healthy cell turnover.
WHO IS MOST AFFECTED
PIH can occur in all skin types but tends to be more persistent in medium to darker skin tones due to higher baseline melanin production. Early intervention helps achieve faster and more effective results.
Helping You Restore Clear, Even-Toned Skin
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation can be a stubborn reminder of past skin issues, but it doesn’t have to be permanent. Our personalized treatment plans target discoloration and help your skin regain its natural balance and brightness.
