Limelight Facial & Skin Rejuvenation

New brown spots, telangiectasia and diffused 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 to prevent new spots and diffused redness from appearing. Rosacea is chronic and cannot be “cured” with any laser or light source, however this condition can be treated and skin appearance is noticeably improved.

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.

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.

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

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

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.
Anesthesia or pain medicine is typically not
required.

Your skin care specialist can customize your LimeLight
Facial to your skin type and selectively treat
the 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.

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.

The LimeLight Facial is a new, non-invasive
approach to skin revitalization using
Cutera’s LimeLight. The procedure offers
the advantage of improving skin tone and
surface imperfections associated with aging
and photodamage.
