Skin Rejuvenation - Intelligent Pulsed Light

Light-based rejuvenation procedures, utilize Intelligent Pulsed Light (IPL), or a form of light that passes through the epidermis without damaging it to create changes beneath the skin’s surface.  Light-based treatments, such as the Cutera Limelight®, are effective at addressing rosacea, veins, sun damage, and other cosmetic issues related to excessive or uneven pigment, with little to no downtime.  And while they may not specifically affect the surface of the skin, the changes created within the skin are visible on the surface.

During treatment you may experience a brief, mild sting (similar to a rubberband snap) when the pulse of light is delivered.  Most patients find this sensation to be quite tolerable, therefore, no anesthesia or medication is necessary.

Following your Limelight® facial, you may return to normal activities immediately.  Your skin may appear to have rosy flush and feel slightly sensitive to the touch, however, most patients feel comfortable in resuming normal activities.

Generally, dramatic results from Limelight® can be achieved in one or two treatments.   As an exception, unusually large or dark areas may require additional treatments.

Following your Limelight® treatment, the spots which have been successfully treated will not return.  However, if you continue to expose your skin to the sun without sufficient sunscreen application, new spots can appear as a result.
