About Post-Acne Dark Marks

Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) leaves flat, dark spots where acne lesions have healed. They're not true scars — the skin surface is smooth — but the discoloration can persist for months or years.

Treatment accelerates the fading process significantly. Chemical peels remove pigmented surface layers, while laser targets deeper melanin deposits. Preventing new breakouts is equally important to stop new marks from forming. Using Hollywood Spectra, Cutera Excel V+, we deliver precise, measurable improvement.
