Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation.
PIH occurs when inflammation or injury triggers excess melanin production, leaving dark patches after acne, cuts, or rashes. It's a pigment response rather than scarring and is influenced by skin type, inflammation severity, and sun exposure.
Duration varies: mild cases can fade in months, while deeper discoloration may persist many months to years without treatment. Professional therapies and diligent sun protection accelerate fading and improve outcomes more reliably than waiting alone.
At Lotus Medspa we combine tailored approaches: topical lighteners, chemical peels, microneedling, and targeted lasers. Treatment plans are customized by skin type and severity; most clients need several sessions for noticeable results and gradual pigment reduction.
Side effects are generally mild: temporary redness, irritation, or light peeling. More aggressive treatments carry small risks of increased pigmentation or sensitivity, especially for darker skin tones, so pre-treatment evaluation and conservative protocols minimize complications.
Yes. UV exposure can darken and prolong PIH; sun protection is essential. Daily broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen, hats, and avoiding peak sun hours help prevent worsening and improve treatment effectiveness.
Aftercare includes strict sun avoidance, daily SPF, gentle cleansers, and avoiding picking or exfoliating wounds. Use prescribed topicals as directed and attend follow-up appointments to adjust therapy and monitor healing for best long-term results.
