Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH)

At Alchemy Aesthetic Clinic, we specialize in treating tough pigmentation problems like Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH) — a common skin concern in Indian skin types. PIH usually occurs after acne, injury, or inflammation, leaving behind stubborn dark spots or brown patches that can affect your confidence.

If you’re looking for safe and effective PIH treatment in Dhankawadi, Pune, our advanced skincare protocols can help you achieve smoother, clearer skin.

What is Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH)?

PIH is a type of pigmentation caused by skin trauma, like acne, burns, cuts, insect bites, or cosmetic procedures. It results in brown, black, or dark purple marks that linger after the initial wound or breakout has healed.

At Alchemy Aesthetic Clinic, we diagnose the depth and cause of the pigmentation and then recommend a custom treatment plan using one or more of the following:

Medical-grade Chemical Peels
Microneedling (Collagen Induction Therapy)
Topical depigmenting agents
Advanced laser/light therapy
Pigment-targeting skincare

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What causes PIH?

PIH is triggered by skin trauma — like acne, burns, friction, or harsh treatments — leading to excess melanin formation at the site

How is PIH different from melasma?

PIH is caused by inflammation/injury, while melasma is often hormonal. Both cause pigmentation but need different treatment approaches.

Is PIH permanent?

No. With proper clinical treatment and skincare, PIH can significantly fade or disappear within 2–4 months, depending on severity.

Is laser safe for Indian skin with PIH?

Yes — when done correctly. We use laser or light therapy only when suitable and safe for Indian skin tones to avoid further pigmentation.

How many sessions are needed for results?

Most patients need 3–6 sessions, spaced 2–4 weeks apart. Improvement is gradual but noticeable from the second session onward.
