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 sun damage.

The LimeLight Facial is very effective for improving uneven skin tone. It can treat individual pigment changes like brown age spots; it can also treat widespread blotchiness, freckles, skin redness and individual fine veins.

FAQs

How does it work?

The LimeLight Facial uses light to heat the brown or red cells in the top layer of your skin to reduce discoloration and promote a more even skin tone.

How many treatments will I need?

One to three treatments are usually sufficient. Additional treatments may be recommended, especially for excessively sun damaged skin. When you come in for your consultation, we will give you information tailored to your particular needs.

How long does each treatment take?
It varies according to the size of area you are having treated, but most treatments take less than one hour.

What does it feel like?
You will feel a series of brief pinches, similar to a rubber band snapping, but no local anesthesia or pain medication is necessary.

What can I expect afterwards?
If you have specific spots treated, they will darken immediately and begin to flake off naturally within one to three weeks to reveal clearer skin. If you have general redness or fine veins treated, the blush will gradually lighten.

Is it permanent?
Over time new spots may appear, as a result of new sun exposure and the ongoing aging process. These too can be removed. Remember to always apply broad-spectrum sunscreen.

Is it safe?
Yes, the LimeLight Facial is safe. As with all medical procedures there is a slight degree of risk, and we will discuss this with you thoroughly when you come in for your consultation.

How much does it cost?
This depends on the size of the area and the nature of what you’re having treated. At your consultation, we can give you an idea as to the number of treatments and the specific price.

Can anyone have it done?
Anyone with a light or medium color skin may be a candidate for LimeLight Facial, but those with darker skin tones may not. We will assess your particular skin type and let you know if you’re a candidate at the time of your consultation.
