Managing Acne-Prone Skin & Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH) When acne heals, it often leaves behind frustrating dark spots known as Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH). Managing this requires a dual approach of medical-grade skincare and targeted clinic treatments. Essential Home Care Tips • Never Pick or Pop: Squeezing pimples forces inflammation deeper into the skin, guaranteeing darker spots and permanent scarring. • Incorporate Brighteners: Look for dermatologically approved serums containing Vitamin C, Alpha Arbutin, Niacinamide, or Kojic Acid. How We Can Help at Whiteink If topical creams aren't working, we offer advanced clinical solutions to accelerate your results: 1. Q-Switched Nd:YAG Lasers: Target and shatter excess melanin deep within the skin without damaging the surface. 2. Chemical Peels: Gently exfoliate the top layers of dead skin to reveal a brighter, even-toned complexion underneath.
