The redness of the area is the first evolutionary step and is due to vascular dilation, then comes dark pigmentation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cuadro-Clinico\"><\/span>Clinical Picture<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This type of hyperpigmentation is seen frequently in patients who depilate with hot wax. The upper lip is the most affected. Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation is also observed by the use of deodorants in patients with allergies to any of its components, in this case the most affected areas are the armpits.<br \/>\nIt is common to see hyperpigmentation due to the use of some garment, belt or decorative metal element that rubs the skin by rubbing, which produces redness and subsequent pigmentation.<br \/>\nCertain types of drugs such as tetracyclines, sulfa drugs, barbiturates, metronidazole, paracetamol, benzodiazepines, ibuprofen, among others, produce circumscribed erythema (inflammation) on the skin that end with hyperpigmentation.<br \/>\nThere is another type of hyperpigmentation that is produced by perfumes and colognes that contain bergamot derivatives.<br \/>\nThe bergamot oil contained in the perfume produces a significant inflammatory process, with edema and vasodilation, which ends like the others in a pigmented stain in the contact area.<br \/>\nAnother type of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation is that produced as a consequence of ablative laser treatments, chemical peels and other aesthetic treatments aimed at rejuvenating the skin.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tratamiento\"><\/span>Treatment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-content\">One of the most modern treatments for the treatment of these hyperpigmentations is the laser. <strong>Helios II<\/strong>.<br \/>\nIt is a Microfractioned Nd: YAG Q SWITCHED Laser that uses DEO (diffractive) technology which was invented and patented by Laseroptek in 2009.<br \/>\nDiffractive technology divides the energy emitted by the laser into 81 stable and uniform micro points that increase the therapeutic effect without the complications that are common in other systems.<br \/>\nHelios II has been specially designed to treat melasma and all kinds of pigmented lesions throughout the year and even on dark and tanned skin.<br \/>\nThe light energy of Helios II in its 1,064 modality impacts the pigmented lesion in depth without irritating the skin.<br \/>\nThis treatment must always be accompanied by the suspension of the causal element and be accompanied by photo protection.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Testimonio-de-pacientes\"><\/span><strong>Patient testimonial<\/strong><span
