Post-Acne Dark Spots Nanaimo

Fading Brown Marks & Acne Pigmentation

Have your breakouts healed, but you're still left with dark spots months later?

Post-acne hyperpigmentation (PIH) is one of the most common skin concerns we see at Your Skin Magician in Nanaimo. These flat brown, tan, or darker spots develop after inflammation triggers excess melanin production in the skin.

The good news is that these marks are not true scars. With the right treatment plan, they can often be significantly improved over time.

What Causes Post-Acne Dark Spots?

Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation occurs when the skin produces excess pigment while healing from acne.

Common characteristics include:

Brown or tan spots left behind after breakouts
Marks that linger for months after acne has healed
Darker spots that become more noticeable with sun exposure
Uneven skin tone and loss of overall brightness

Picking or squeezing blemishes can increase the likelihood of developing post-acne pigmentation.

At Your Skin Magician in Nanaimo, we offer customized treatments designed to gradually fade discoloration while supporting overall skin health.
