LimeLight Facial

The LimeLight facial is a new, non-invasive approach to skin revitalization using Cutera’s LimeLight. The procedures offers the advantages of improved skin tone and surface imperfections associated with aging and photodamage.

The LimeLight facial is ideal for any part of your face, neck and décolleté that has skin redness, telangiectasia (tiny veins) or brown spots. Light (low contrast) brown spots, which were previously difficult to resolve, respond very well to this type of treatment. 

When the pulse of light is delivered, patients well experience a mild pinching or stinging sensation. Gel is recommended to cool the skin. 

Anesthesia or pain medicine is typically not required. 

Treatment time depends on the area of the body receiving therapy. However, most treatments should take less than one hour. 

One to three treatments are usually sufficient to see optimal results. Additional treatments may be recommended, especially for excessively sun-damaged skin. 

Immediately following treatment, brown spots will start to darken and your skin may appear slightly red. The treated area may be mildly swollen. This typically lasts a few hours and possibly a day, or longer. Gentle makeup may be applied to cover redness or irritated skin. 

Within one to three weeks, the darkened spots will flake off and fade. Diffuse redness or telangiectasia will decrease and your mottled complexion will improve. 

New brown spots, telangiectasia and diffuse redness may appear with new sun damage; however they too can be treated. Remember to always apply broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 when outdoors to minimize sun damage and the appearance of new spots and diffuse redness. Rosacea is chronic and cannot be “cured” with any laser or light source, however its appearance can be approved.
