IPL Laser Treatment for Sunspots and Rosacea

Irritated SkinYou see sun spots on your face, or are they age spots? Either way, you want them gone. Your board-certified dermatologists in Honolulu, HI - Dr. Kevin Dawson, Dr. Douglas Chun, and Dr. Sarah Grekin - treat skin issues such as hyperpigmentation with the innovative IPL laser. Using comfortable, quick photorejuvenation treatments with no downtime, the team at Dawson Dermatology helps people achieve a renewed, refreshed, and spot-free facial appearance.

Causes of hyperpigmentation

Sun, acne, and age are all factors in hyperpigmentation on the face and neck. Unfortunately, other conditions, such as excessive hair and the redness and broken blood vessels characteristic of rosacea, produce additional skin mottling.

At Dawson Dermatology in Honolulu, your dermatologist will carefully examine your skin to determine the exact nature of your dark spots. People of all ages, skin colors, and walks of life are often good candidates for IPL treatments. Removing unwanted hair, pigment spots, redness, spider veins, and more, the IPL laser produces amazing results in a series of simple, in-office treatments, and the results last.

How IPL laser treatments work

IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light. Using a handheld instrument, Dr. Dawson, Dr. Chun, or Dr. Grekin deliver short bursts of focused light to targeted areas of the skin. There's a slight feeling of heat, and patients may experience a mild stinging sensation. These discomforts are very mild because the doctor first applied an anesthetic cream to the skin before beginning treatment.

Patients resume normal activities of daily living right away, seeing only some mild redness and/or bruising for a few days afterward.

The areas of hyperpigmentation take a few days to a week to fade and peel off. However, makeup can be worn right away, and people should avoid excessive sun exposure.
