How long does it take to get rid of post acne hyperpigmentation?

The length of time required to effectively treat dark spots and hyperpigmentation depends on several factors including the original cause of the hyperpigmentation, the skin condition, and tyle of treatment. For hyperpigmentation that is the result of previous pimples, it's important to start treatment right away. The first step is to minimize sun exposure and use a daily SPF 30 sunscreen formulated for acne-prone skin. In addition, you can start using a medicated dark spot treatment and use this on alternating nights with your acne treatment cream to keep breakouts and bay while treating dark spots more quickly and effectively. With these targetted treatments and prevention protocols, you can expect significant improvements within 3 months.
