Hyperpigmentation is the darkening of certain areas of the skin caused by excess melanin production. It can be triggered by acne, sun exposure, inflammation, or injury—and often lingers long after the initial cause has healed.
What is Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH)?
PIH is a specific type of hyperpigmentation that develops after inflammation or trauma to the skin—most commonly from breakouts. It's especially common in melanin-rich skin, where pigment-producing cells are more reactive to injury and inflammation.
The Good Glow Approach
At Good Glow Skin Therapy, I take a melanin-conscious, restorative approach to treating PIH. My focus is on calming inflammation, rebuilding the skin barrier, and gently fading discoloration over time. Treatments may include pigment-regulating ingredients, enzyme therapy, and gentle chemical peels—all carefully selected to support skin health without triggering further irritation or pigment.
No harsh scrubs. No overdoing it. Just intentional, effective care to restore clarity, confidence, and lasting glow.
