— Treatment Overview —

What Sun Spot Removal Involves

Sun spots and brown spots are areas of excess pigment caused by sun exposure over time. Sun spot removal at Chicago Medspa uses intense pulsed light to break up that pigment so it can fade, helping restore a more even complexion. It is a non-invasive treatment with minimal downtime, and results build over a short series of sessions — for full-face tone and redness, see our IPL photofacial. A consultation confirms whether IPL is right for your skin.

How It Works

A handpiece delivers gentle pulses of light that are absorbed by the pigment in sun spots and brown spots.
A session typically takes about 20 to 45 minutes, depending on the area.
Most people describe a brief warm snapping sensation, with minimal downtime.
Treatment is usually done as a short series spaced a few weeks apart; your provider will outline a plan.

Who It's For

Adults with sun spots, brown spots, or uneven pigment who want a non-invasive option with little downtime. IPL is well suited to fair-to-medium skin tones; a consultation will confirm whether it is appropriate for your skin, as it is not recommended for everyone.
