So... You have PIH! | Chemical Peel Help | Dark Skin | Hyperpigmentation Treatment | Pretreatment

So, you didn’t follow the proper Peel pre-treatment protocol and ended up with PIH. What can you do to treat this at home now that you have it? Today I am going to tell you.

PIH stands for Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation. This is when the skin ends up with a dark area - or areas - of pigmentation after some sort of wounding or irritation. The discoloration generally manifests right in the same area of the original inflammation. Common causes are insect bites, dermatosis, burns, cosmetic procedures such as peels where the skin was not pre-treated properly, acne and so much more.

PIH can happen in Caucasian skin, but it is much more prominent in the medium – darker ethnic skin types. It has been shown that melanin-rich skin shows a hyper-reactivity to minor skin traumas resulting in PIH.

Here are the three key products to pretreat your skin to help avoid PIH when doing chemical peels:
