Post-inflammatory
Hyperpigmentation Laser Treatments in Maryland
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) happens when your skin makes extra melanin after it has been irritated or injured.
What is Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)?
This skin condition can develop on irritated and injured skin. It is important to note that PIH is not scar development. Instead, it is the manufacturing of pigment in your skin in response to an injury or irritation. Your body makes extra pigment called melanin that can appear as dark red, tan, brown, or blue-gray patches on your skin.
Common Causes For Skin Hyperpigmentation
The most common causes of hyperpigmentation are acne, eczema, or infections such as impetigo. Other reported causes are:
- Razor burns
- Bugbites
- Infections
- Burns
- Allergic reactions
Our Hyperpigmentation Laser Treatment
Our doctors use the PIQO4 laser to fade persistent hyperpigmentation. This skin treatment is safe for all skin types. The laser breaks up the pigment. It often requires more than one treatment, depending on the persistence of the case. They also prescribe Tranexamic Acid (TXA) to be applied between treatments to accelerate the reduction of skin discoloration.
