Limelight is a fast and effective way to even skin tone and discoloration, which can take years off of your appearance in just a couple treatments! 

The multiple treatment modes allow us to target all spectrums of brown sun damage as well as redness caused by microvascular matting seen in Rosacea or in vascular lesions like Port Wine Stains. The specific wavelength of light is absorbed into the target color and a reaction is seen within 24 hours of the treatment. Browns darken and flake away over the following week. Reds immediately collapse and lighten over the following week. 

All areas of skin can be treated from face, neck, chest, to hands, arms or legs. This laser is only able to safely treat skin types I-IV. 

We recommend a consultation to assess your skin and determine if this is the best treatment option for you. Darker skin tones may be directed to a different treatment option that is safer and more effective. Then a treatment plan is set out with recommended skin care options to optimize your results and help you maintain them. Limelight can be combined with other treatments to achieve a 3D rejuvenation, such as Laser Genesis or Titan. It can also be combined prior to SecretRF or Chemical Peels to get faster more aggressive results overall. 

Avoid prolonged sun exposure for a week prior to treatment. Avoid self tanning lotions and sprays for 2 weeks prior to treatment. 

Cold compresses can help relieve a hot burning sensation as well as swelling post-treatment. In some cases when we are treating redness, we recommend ibuprofen to reduce swelling, as well as topical and oral Arnica.  Makeup can be worn immediately. After the initial inflammation is gone, the brown flakes can be gently exfoliated typically 4-7 days post-treatment when treating brown pigmentation.
