Cutera LIMELIGHT FACIAL
What is the LimeLight Facial?
The
LimeLight Facial is a new, non-invasive approach to
skin rejuvenation using Cutera’s LimeLight. The
procedure offers the advantage of improving skin tone
and surface imperfections associated with aging and
photodamage.
What areas can be treated?
The
LimeLight Facial is ideal for any part of your face,
neck and décolleté, with skin redness, telangiectasia
(tiny veins), or brown spots. Light (low contrast) brown
spots, which were previously difficult to resolve,
respond very well to treatment.
What does the treatment do?
LimeLight Facials are customized to your skin type and
selectively treat brown and/or red pigmented areas on
your skin. It’s the heating of the pigmented brown or
red cells that causes the therapeutic effect.
What do the treatments feel like?
When the pulse of light is delivered, patients will
experience a mild pinching or stinging sensation. Gel is
recommended to cool the skin before vascular treatments.
Topical anesthetic may or may not be used.
How long will the treatments take?
Treatment time depends on the area of the body being
treated. However, most treatments should take less than
one hour.
How many treatments will I need?
One to three treatments are usually sufficient to see
results. Additional treatments may be recommended,
especially for excessively sun-damaged skin.
What happens after the treatment?
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. Make-up can be
applied to cover the redness.
When will I see results?
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.
Will the spots and redness reappear over time?
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 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 improved.
