Not all post-acne marks are the same, and treating them the same way is why so many people get frustrated.⁣
⁣
🔴 PIE (post-inflammatory erythema): red, pink, or purple. Vascular in origin. More visible in lighter skin tones.⁣
⁣
🟤 PIH (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation): brown or grey-brown. Caused by excess melanin. More common in deeper skin tones.⁣
⁣
Brightening serums target pigment, so they tend to do very little for redness. PIE responds better to treatments that target the blood vessels themselves, which is where light-based therapy like Lumecca IPL comes in.⁣
⁣
Not sure which one you have? Many people have both. ⁣
That’s what an assessment is for.

Your tan is fading. The damage underneath isn’t.⁣
⁣
Sun exposure doesn’t just show up as a tan that fades by October. It shows up weeks and months later, as pigmentation, uneven tone, broken capillaries and a loss of that bounce-back glow.⁣
⁣
Here’s what’s actually happening under the surface: UV exposure triggers excess melanin production and breaks down collagen. The result is dullness, dark spots and skin that looks tired even when you feel rested.⁣
⁣
At Connected Health & Skin, we don’t just treat what’s visible. Our Naturopathic Doctors and holistic aestheticians look at the full picture, from topical correction to what’s happening internally with inflammation, hydration and nutrient levels, so the results actually hold.⁣
⁣
If your skin has felt a little flat since summer, that’s not in your head. It’s biology, and it’s correctable.

This is what six sessions of consistency looks like.⁣
⁣
Using Lumecca IPL (intense pulsed light), we targeted years of sun damage and pigmentation, breaking down excess pigment beneath the surface so the body can naturally clear it over time.⁣
⁣
Individual results may vary, and a consultation helps us map out what’s realistic for your skin specifically.⁣
