How do I get rid of my PIH once and for all? (photo)

Doctor's Answer

Based on what I observed from the photos, your face looked red and inflamed. There is new active acne as well as brown marks caused by previous acne.

I will advise you to treat your acne and redness soon so that it won't get worse. I would recommend the combination below to treat your condition effectively:

1) Oral medications to control acne

You should get your acne under control so that your skin is allowed to heal and no new acne scars develop. You can start with oral medications such as antibiotics or roaccutane to control your acne.

2) Light treatments to reduce redness and pigmentation

Personally I like to use light treatment like the Sciton Forever Clear BBL or the yellow lasers as they are gentle to the skin and suitable to treat sensitive, acne-prone skin.

Both Sciton Forever Young BBL and Pro Yellow Laser are able to reduce redness, acne, and pigmentation at the same time. Most patients experience minimal discomfort and downtime with both treatments mentioned above. Several treatments are required in order to achieve maximum effect.
