How long will the treatments take?
Most treatments take 1 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.

How It Works:
Redness: The Limelight device delivers controlled pulses of light that are absorbed by red blood cells in the skin, causing them to break down and fade reducing the appearance of redness.
Hyperpigmentation (Brown Spots): the IPL light is specifically designed to be absorbed by the melanin, the pigment responsible for the skin color, allowing it to target areas of hyperpigmentation. Once the light is absorbed by the melanin, it creates heat which damages the pigmented cells leading to their breakdwon and removal.
