Skincare for Red Marks (PIE)

Post-inflammatory erythema (PIE) is the flat pink or red mark left where a breakout used to be. It is vascular, meaning dilated capillaries near the surface, not pigment and not scar tissue. It is very common in fair skin and fades over months.

Homecare keeps inflammation calm, the barrier supported and UV out, but no cream clears PIE efficiently on its own. IPL with the Lumenis Stellar M22 XPL targets those vessels directly and is very often the missing piece in post-acne care. Skincare alone does not replace a skin assessment and a personalised plan from our experienced dermal clinicians, who will tell you whether you have a mark or a scar.
