Treating PIH acne scars

Ethnic skin types are more prone to hyperpigmentation -
Hyperpigmentation refers to a condition in which patches of skin become darker in color than the normal surrounding skin.
.
For ethnic skin, pigmentation can last up to five years. PIH acne scarring is mostly due to mild to moderate acne & not due to cystic acne.
.
Lasers, peels & good quality skin care, including sun protection, can prevent & treat post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
.
How long will it take pigmentation to go away?
This depends on many factors including your ethnicity, sun exposure & degree of inflammation. For lighter skin individuals, brown pigmentation usually takes 3 months to fade. For ethnic skin, pigmentation can last up to five years!
