The Root Cause Approach to PIH: Targeting Inflammation Before It Becomes Pigment
Why does PIH keep coming back? Dr. Rosemarie Ingleton reframes post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation as an inflammation problem — and shows how to treat it at the root.
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation continues to be one of the most common and undertreated conditions in dermatology. It affects every skin type, frustrates patients with its persistence, and has historically been managed with approaches that treat the discoloration without addressing what caused it.
That's the problem Dr. Rosemarie Ingleton is here to solve.
Join Dr. Ingleton, board-certified dermatologist and leading voice in skin health across all skin types, for a clinical deep-dive into modern PIH management using 650-microsecond 1064nm laser technology. This evidence-based framework focuses on understanding PIH at the mechanism level — and treating it more completely than conventional approaches allow.
What you'll take away:
- Why PIH recurs — and why targeting discoloration alone is insufficient
- How 650-microsecond pulse technology simultaneously addresses the inflammatory trigger and the pigment consequence in a single treatment modality
- Safe, effective protocols across Fitzpatrick I-VI -- including the higher-risk skin types where PIH is most prevalent and most undertreated
- Year-round management frameworks for acute flares, maintenance, and prevention
- Real patient outcomes and clinical case review with Dr. Ingleton
