The Cutera LimeLight combines the benefits of three distinct
light based devices into one unique solution. The visible light delivered by the
LimeLight is selectively absorbed by the pigmented spots or redness in your
skin. It can also treat widespread blotchiness, freckles, skin redness and
individual fine veins. This treatment is sometimes referred to as
photo-rejuvenation.
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Photorejuvenation is an innovative
way to quickly, safely and comfortably remove sun and age spots from your face,
chest, arms, and hands, without gel or anesthetic cream. The signs of sun damage
will flake off after one or two treatments, leaving clear, younger looking skin.
The IPL-Photorejuvenation Difference? Comfort. We have a pulsed light system that is exceptionally effective at
treating pigment at a much more comfortable energy level. There is no need to
apply anesthetic gel or cream beforehand, and you can realize superior results
in just one or two treatments.
What areas can be treated? Virtually any part of your body with sun and age spots or freckles can be safely
treated. The face, chest, shoulders, and arms are the most popular areas for
treatment because they have typically had the most sun exposure. Both discrete
spots and skin densely covered with freckles respond well to treatment.
What does the treatment do? The visible light delivered is selectively absorbed by the pigmented spots on
your skin. It’s the heating of the pigmented cells that causes the therapeutic
effect.
Is it true that I’ll need to arrive an hour early to
apply a numbing cream? No. Unlike other systems,our system requires no anesthetic creams or gels before
treatment. Gel is messy, time consuming, and uncomfortable.
IPL-Photorejuvenation is the next generation in pulsed light treatments. No gel!
What do treatments feel like? When the handpiece is placed on your skin, it will feel cool and comfortable.
When the pulse of light is delivered, you may feel a mild, brief pinching
sensation.
How long will the treatment take? The actual treatment will only take a few minutes. And, since there is no need
to apply gel or any topical anesthetic, your total appointment time can easily
fit into your lunch hour.
How many treatments will I need? Typically, one or two treatments are sufficient to see dramatic results.
Additional treatments may be required for very large or dark spots or for
densely covered areas.
What happens after the treatment and are there any side
effects? Immediately following the treatment, the spots may start to darken. You may
notice a slight reddening of the surrounding skin. This typically subsides
within a couple of hours. Over the course of the next one to three weeks,
darkened spots will fade and flake off. Consult with your medical professional
for complete information on the benefits and risks of treatment.
Will the spots reappear over time? No. New spots may appear. These too can be removed. Remember to liberally apply
sunscreen when outdoors to minimize sun damage and the appearance of new spots.
Can all of my spots be treated this way? Spots formed by sun exposure can effectively be treated. There are, however,
other types of pigmented lesions, such as birthmarks and moles. Consult with
your medical professional to identify the spots most likely to respond well to
IPL-Photorejuvenation.
