LimeLight Treatments for Pigmentation and Redness

LIMELIGHT BY CUTERA

The LimeLight Xeo by Cutera is a new, non-invasive approach to skin revitalisation using LimeLight. The procedure offers the advantage of improving skin tone and surface imperfections associated with ageing and photo damage.

The LimeLight 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.

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. Treatments should be spaced 4 or more weeks apart depending on clearance.

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 OR 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 minimise 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.
