AfterGlow IPL Skin Brightening & Pigmentation Treatment

AfterGlow IPL targets melanin deposits and uneven skin tone, reducing dark spots, sun damage, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and dullness with gentle broadband light therapy suitable for Singapore skin types.

Wellaholic's AfterGlow IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) skin brightening treatment uses carefully calibrated broadband light pulses to target melanin deposits in the upper skin layers, breaking down dark spots, sun damage, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) while stimulating overall skin clarity and luminosity. Unlike ablative laser treatments that remove the top layer of skin, AfterGlow IPL works below the surface, selectively destroying pigment cells while leaving surrounding skin intact — resulting in a gentler treatment with minimal downtime. It is particularly effective for addressing the types of pigmentation common in Singapore's demographic, including post-acne marks, melasma (mild to moderate), sun spots from UV exposure, and uneven skin tone in areas prone to friction or post-hair-removal discolouration (such as underarms and bikini). The treatment is commonly delivered as part of Wellaholic's WellaSmooth 3X subscription, where AfterGlow is applied to the underarm and intimate areas after each SHR hair removal session. It is also available as a standalone skin brightening treatment for the face or body. A series of 4–6 sessions is typically recommended for pigmentation reduction, with each session spaced 3–4 weeks apart to allow the skin to shed treated pigment. Mild erythema (redness) lasting a few hours is the typical immediate response; sun protection post-treatment is essential to prevent PIH recurrence. Wellaholic's transparent pricing model means AfterGlow IPL add-on pricing is built into the WellaSmooth subscription bundle rather than charged separately.
