Post-Inflammatory Marks (PIH)

PIH creates lingering discoloration

Understanding Post-Inflammatory Marks

Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation occurs when the skin produces excess pigment after a breakout or irritation, leaving dark spots that can linger long after acne heals. These marks respond well to treatments that brighten, exfoliate, and improve cell turnover. Moonlight Skin Studio offers Hydrafacials, Chemical Peels, Liquid Microneedling, and advanced facials to fade discoloration and support a more even complexion.

Solutions for Fading Stubborn Pigment

Chemical Peels help lift surface pigment and encourage new, healthier skin to emerge. Cellstory Liquid Microneedling improves tone by stimulating cell renewal. Hydrafacials infuse antioxidant-rich serums that target dullness and help lighten dark marks. Customized facials also play a role in supporting brightness and preventing new discoloration. With consistent care, PIH gradually fades and skin tone becomes more uniform.

I had such a great experience with Terri for first my facial! From the moment I walked in, she made me feel comfortable and well taken care of. She took the time to understand my skin concerns and tailored the treatment specifically to what I needed. Not only was the facial super relaxing but I also noticed an immediate glow and softness in my skin afterward. Terri is incredibly knowledgeable and explained everything she was doing, which made me feel confident and informed. You can tell she really cares about her clients and their results. I’m already looking forward to my next visit! highly recommend her if you're looking for both results and a peaceful

I’ve been seeing Terri for facials for a year now and she has completely transformed my skin with huge improvements. At my very first visit, she took the time to really listen to my concerns about acne and created such a safe, welcoming space. She is kind, knowledgeable, and professional, always tailoring each treatment to what my skin needs. She also created a custom skincare routine and checks in between appointments, which shows how much she truly cares. Highly recommend her!

FAQ

Any Questions?

How long does PIH take to fade?

With treatment, most marks fade noticeably within a few weeks to several months depending on severity and consistency.

Are PIH and acne scars the same?

Not at all. PIH is pigmentation, not texture. Marks fade with brightening treatments, while scars require resurfacing care.

Does Cellstory Liquid Microneedling hurt?

You may feel a prickly sensation, but most clients find it very tolerable.

How often should I schedule the Luxe Hydrafacial for me?

Monthly sessions are ideal for maintaining results, though your esthetician can recommend a personalized schedule.
