Getting ready for your beach vacay with a chemical peel to look your best? What could go wrong? Postinflammatory pigmentation, that’s what. Let’s just call it PIH.

In this episode, we discuss what inflammation has to do with healing, and what healing has to do with those brown spots that can develop after acne, surgery, and plenty of other injuries to the skin. Can anything be done to get rid of it? Listen in to find out.

As two plastic surgeons, Drs. Heather Furnas and Josh Korman lay aside their scalpels and explore the nonsurgical world to bring you what’s new, what’s safe, and what to look for when you’re ready to hit “refresh.”
