Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH)

Prevent dark marks by preventing inflammation.

PIH often follows irritation from shaving, ingrown hairs, or folliculitis. The best strategy is reducing repeated inflammation and protecting the skin—especially in high-UV climates like Dubai.

PIH after Ingrowns / Irritation

What PIH Is

PIH is discoloration that remains after inflammation. It can persist longer if the trigger continues (repeated shaving/ingrowns) or if the area is exposed to strong UV without protection.

How We Help in the Laser Department

Laser hair removal is used here primarily for trigger reduction—reducing repeated inflammation from shaving and ingrowns. We also emphasize sun protection and barrier support to reduce the chance of marks deepening.

  • Reduce shaving + ingrowns by reducing regrowth over time
  • Strict sun guidance to reduce pigment risk
  • Barrier-first aftercare to calm irritated skin
Sometimes, but it can take months and may recur if the trigger continues. Prevention (less inflammation + consistent SPF) is usually the most effective long-term strategy.
There can be—especially with recent sun exposure or unsuitable settings. That’s why we tailor parameters to skin type and provide strict aftercare guidance.
