Various treatments available to improve the appearance of PIH may incite further pigmentation thus making treatment extremely difficult and frustrating. The purpose of this study was to perform a retrospective chart and photographic review to evaluate the efficacy and safety profile of a low energy low density non\u2010ablative fractional1927 nm wavelength laser treatment for PIH in patients with Fitzpatrick skin types IV\u2010VI.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Study Design<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A retrospective evaluation of 61 patients with PIH treated with a 1927 nm laser was conducted at a single center.
