PIH-Quiet™
Targeted Laser Treatment for Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH)
A low-fluence 1064nm protocol engineered to fade PIH gradually and safely —
especially for skin types prone to hyper-reactivity and darkening.
What Is PIH-Quiet™?
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) occurs after skin irritation, acne, injury, heat, laser treatments, or inflammation.
It is incredibly common in:
-
Asian
-
Middle Eastern
-
Afro-Caribbean
-
Mixed-heritage skin
-
Anyone prone to pigment overreaction
PIH can persist for months or years if untreated — and many treatments can make it worse.
PIH-Quiet™ is a gentle, low-fluence 1064nm Q-switched laser protocol designed specifically to:
-
lighten PIH without overheating the skin
-
avoid rebound pigmentation
-
improve tone gradually and safely
-
reduce the cycle of inflammation → pigment → frustration
-
be suitable for all Fitzpatrick types, including the darkest skin tones
Why PIH-Quiet™ Is Safe for Dark & Reactive Skin
The Science Behind PIH
PIH is caused by melanocytes releasing excess pigment into the superficial epidermis after inflammation.
Dark Asian and Black skin types are particularly sensitive due to highly reactive melanocytes.
Why 1064nm Is the Gold Standard
The 1064nm wavelength:
-
bypasses most epidermal melanin
-
avoids heat buildup
-
uses photoacoustic energy (not thermal injury)
-
reduces pigment without damaging the surface
When delivered with appropriately restrained energy and large spot sizes, it becomes one of the safest pigment treatments available for darker skin types worldwide.
What Results to Expect
After 1–2 Sessions
-
softening of hyperpigmented patches
-
more even skin tone
-
reduced contrast
After 2–3 Sessions
-
visible lightening in most cases
-
stabilisation of the underlying trigger
-
greater uniformity and clarity
Long-Term
-
maintenance rarely required unless inflammation recurs
-
a calmer, more even complexion
PIH generally responds faster than melasma. Many patients notice improvement early, but optimal clearance usually requires 3–6 sessions. Deep or long-standing cases can take 6–10 or even 12 sessions.”
