Acne pigmentation, also known as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), is the darkening of skin after acne lesions have healed. It occurs when the skin produces an excess of melanin as it repairs itself, leading to discoloration that may persist even after the acne is gone. This can appear as red, brown, black, or purple patches, depending on skin tone and the depth of pigmentation. .

Types of TREATMENT :

• Topical Treatments
• Chemical Peels
• Laser Therapy

Acne pigmentation on the face occurs when a dark spot is left behind a pimple that has healed or disappeared. This happens when the skin produces too much melanin, the pigment that is responsible for giving the skin its colour. Although acne pigmentation scars are harmless, they can be frustrating to deal with.

Acne hyperpigmentation treatment can vary in terms of expected results and timelines. While some spots may fade on their own within 6-12 months, more severe or deep pigmentation can take longer, potentially years. Consistent treatment with topical or in-office procedures can significantly improve the appearance of hyperpigmentation.

Aftercare tips include:

• Sun exposure can worsen hyperpigmentation, so it's essential to avoid prolonged sun exposure and wear sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher.
• Use gentle, fragrance-free cleansers and moisturizers to keep the skin clean and hydrated.
• Drinking plenty of water helps maintain skin hydration, which is important for healing and overall skin health.
