Hawaii Sunspot and Pigmentation Correction with IPL Technology.
At Wellness Center of Oahu, we harness the power of IPL technology to rejuvenate your skin by targeting superficial pigmented lesions like freckles, age spots, and sunspots. These common blemishes, often intensified by Hawaii’s radiant sun, consist of concentrated melanin. Our non-invasive treatment method meticulously breaks down this melanin, restoring a clear and even skin tone. Experience visible improvement often after just one session, though some cases may require up to three treatments. For a personalized approach to your skin care, schedule a free consultation with Wellness Center of Oahu today.
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is a non-invasive light therapy used to treat a variety of skin concerns, including sunspots, age spots, acne, rosacea, and general skin rejuvenation. Unlike lasers, which use a single wavelength of light, IPL uses broad-spectrum light to target multiple layers of the skin, making it versatile and effective for a range of treatments.
The technology works by emitting high-intensity light pulses that penetrate the skin's surface. These light pulses are absorbed by different pigments in the skin, including melanin (which causes discoloration like sunspots) and hemoglobin (which is present in blood vessels). The energy from the light breaks up excess pigmentation and stimulates the production of collagen, helping to improve skin texture, tone, and elasticity.

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is a non-invasive light therapy that uses broad-spectrum light to target and break down excess pigment in the skin, such as sunspots and age spots. The light is absorbed by the melanin in the spots, causing them to fade gradually over time.
Typically, 3-5 IPL sessions are recommended for optimal results, depending on the severity of the sunspots and individual skin type. These sessions are spaced a few weeks apart to allow the skin time to heal and for the results to show.
Most patients report minimal discomfort during the treatment. The sensation is often described as a slight snapping or tingling feeling, similar to a rubber band snapping on the skin. A cooling gel or numbing cream can be applied to increase comfort.
You may notice improvements after just one session, but full results typically take 2-3 weeks as the treated pigmentation continues to fade. Over time, your skin will appear brighter and more even-toned.
