I had a fraxel treatment done on my cheeks four weeks ago. I started to notice PIH after 2nd week of treatment. I went back to my dermatologist and she prescribed me Obagi clear. It seems like the PIH is getting darker and darker every single day and it's very depressing. Make up does not cover it either.

Answer: PIH At our clinic we typically recommend a compounding prescription of Retin A 0.05% with hydroquinone 5% at night and an additional 5% hydroquinone in the am. If there is no response then we increase to 0.1% Retin A and 8% Hydroquinone in the evening. I would recommend you see a board certified dermatologist to prescribe you a bleaching cream for these areas of concern.

Answer: PIH on darker skin after laser This is treated with hydroquinone, at least 4% and Retin A. If no improvements are noted after a few weeks, go up to 6% hydroquinone.
