How Do Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH) Treatments Work?
At Shumaila’s, our advanced treatments work by addressing the root cause of pigmentation—excess melanin. Using the latest technology and customized protocols, we stimulate skin regeneration, fade dark spots, and restore a balanced, even skin tone. Each treatment is tailored to meet your specific needs, ensuring safe and visible results.
What causes Hyperpigmentation?
- Acne breakouts
- Burns or cuts
- Certain skin treatments like peels or lasers
- Chronic skin conditions such as eczema or psoriasis
While PIH can affect all skin types, individuals with darker skin tones are more prone due to their higher melanin activity. At Shumaila’s, we specialize in safe, effective treatments designed to target and reduce PIH, helping you achieve an even, radiant complexion.
What to Expect from PIH Treatments
Immediate Effects
Skin may appear brighter and fresher immediately after treatment.
Gradual Improvement
Over the following weeks, dark spots fade, and skin tone becomes more even.
Full Results
Most clients achieve optimal results within 2–3 months, depending on their treatment plan.
Long-Term Benefits
With proper aftercare and maintenance, results can last for years.

Frequent Asked Questions
PIH is a condition where dark spots or patches develop after skin inflammation or injury due to excess melanin production. Common causes include acne, burns, cuts, or certain skin treatments.
While PIH occurs after inflammation or injury, melasma is often caused by hormonal changes and sunspots are linked to prolonged UV exposure. PIH often resolves with proper treatment, while melasma and sunspots may require ongoing care.
We use advanced techniques such as laser therapy, medical-grade peels, microneedling with brightening serums, and bespoke treatment combinations to reduce pigmentation and restore an even skin tone.
Results vary depending on the severity of PIH and the chosen treatment. While many clients see significant improvement, ongoing maintenance or follow-up treatments may be needed to sustain results.
