How Does PIH Treatment Work at Cosderma?

Our comprehensive PIH treatment plans often include a combination of the following:

  • Topical Depigmenting Agents: Creams containing ingredients like retinoids, azelaic acid, kojic acid, vitamin C, or hydroquinone to inhibit melanin production and speed up cell turnover.
  • Chemical Peels: Superficial to medium-depth peels (e.g., Glycolic, Salicylic, Lactic, Azelaic) to gently exfoliate pigmented cells and promote new, healthier skin growth.
  • Laser Toning (e.g., Q-Switch Laser): Gentle laser settings that target and break down melanin in the PIH spots without causing further inflammation.
  • Sun Protection: Strict adherence to broad-spectrum sunscreen use is vital to prevent PIH from darkening and to ensure treatment efficacy.
  • Addressing the Cause: If PIH is due to active acne, we concurrently treat the acne to prevent new marks.

🔄 Multiple sessions are usually recommended for significant results, with ongoing topical maintenance. 🕒 Session duration is short. ⏳ Downtime is typically minimal, often just mild redness or flaking.

Quick answers to questions you may have

What is the difference between PIH and acne scars?

PIH refers to the flat dark spots (discoloration) left after inflammation, while acne scars are textural changes like indentations (atrophic) or raised areas (hypertrophic).

How long does PIH take to fade naturally without treatment?

PIH can take months or even years to fade naturally, and sometimes it may not fully resolve without intervention. Treatment significantly speeds up the process.

Can PIH get darker after sun exposure?

Absolutely. UV radiation stimulates melanin production, which can make PIH much darker and harder to treat. Strict sun protection is critical.

Is PIH treatment safe for all skin tones?

Yes, our treatments are carefully selected and customized to be safe and effective for all skin types, including darker Indian skin tones, to minimize the risk of rebound hyperpigmentation.

What is the most effective treatment for PIH?

The most effective approach often involves a combination of topical agents, targeted chemical peels, and sometimes gentle laser toning, tailored to the individual’s skin and PIH severity.
