Shedding Some Light on the Limelight Laser Treatment!
Sunny days are perfect for a relaxing beach getaway. Nothing beats unwinding by the shore, basking in the sun, and letting our worries fade away!
It is no wonder one seldom considers the consequences of prolonged sun exposure when it comes to skin health. Tans are undoubtedly beautiful. However, they come with a price as the skin tone deteriorates over time. Due to the aging process, adverse effects, such as redness, brown or heavily darkened spots, tiny veins, and skin surface imperfections, become increasingly apparent. While you can protect your skin beforehand with sunscreen, what can you do after the damage has been done? With Limelight Laser, you can rejuvenate your skin from the inside out!
What Is the Limelight Laser Treatment?
The Limelight Laser Treatment is an advanced non-invasive approach to skin rejuvenation. It aims to minimize sun damage and heal skin redness, brown spots, uneven pigmentation, and skin surface imperfections caused by aging and excessive sun exposure. Because of its minimal discomfort and high efficacy, Limelight Laser is one of the most sought-after skin rejuvenation treatments!
What Does the Procedure Entail?
During the procedure, the Limelight device directs pulses of light to the affected skin area. In response to the heat generated by this light, damaged epidermal cells lose their unwanted pigmentation: brown spots and skin redness will regress, and surface imperfections will gradually heal. As a result, each treatment session will significantly improve your skin’s condition and tone!
Since the Limelight Treatment is non-invasive and causes only negligible discomfort, patients barely feel any pain during the treatment session. Some patients experience mild pinching, although practitioners quickly relieve it by applying a cooling gel on the treated skin. Since patients report minimal pain levels, anesthesia and pain medication are rarely employed during treatment.
Is Limelight Similar to IPL?
There is a difference between Limelight Laser and your typical IPL (i.e., intense pulse light) treatment. Limelight Laser offers a similar approach to skin resurfacing but addresses skin imperfections with more precision and subtlety, adapting to different skin tones, types, and conditions.
Why is the Limelight Facial Treatment more desirable? Because it is just for you and your skin! The expert team at Aesthetica, led by Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. Philip Chang, MD, will adjust the Limelight Laser Treatment to your aesthetic goals!
Which Body Areas Are Treated With the Limelight Laser Treatment?
The Limelight Laser Treatment is highly effective for any body part with damaged skin. The treatment is especially recommended for the upper body (i.e., the face, neck, shoulders, and breasts) and the hands since these areas receive the most sun damage and are susceptible to dark spots and redness.
Who Is a Candidate for the Procedure?
Limelight Laser Treatment is available to all would-be patients with any of the aforementioned skin tone and surface imperfections. However, it is not recommended for pregnant women or individuals with skin diseases caused by malignant or abnormal pigmentation or depigmentation (e.g., skin cancer, vitiligo, etc.).
How Many Treatments Do I Need?
Patients report dramatic improvements after one or three treatment sessions. However, if prolonged sun exposure has caused excessive damage, you will require additional treatment sessions to achieve the desired results. Our expert team at Aesthetica will tailor your treatment plan based on your age, skin tone, skin type, vascular health, and severity of sun damage.
What Results Will I See After My Treatment?
Recovery after a Limelight Laser treatment session is brief and involves minimal discomfort. It is typical for your treated skin area to look slightly swollen on the day of the procedure, although this side effect will only last for a few hours. Your brown spots will darken and flake off within one to three weeks. In addition, your skin’s redness and mottled complexion will subside, allowing your natural skin tone to shine!
You will see better results as you follow our highly qualified medical advice until you reach the skin tone and condition that will make your confidence soar!
You might ask: won’t these beautiful results fade away over time as a result of the inevitable exposure to sunlight? After all, the skin is not impervious to new brown spots or imperfections. As a result, we highly recommend that our patients apply broad-spectrum sunscreen when outdoors. Of course, you can always rely on additional Limelight Laser Treatment sessions to heal your skin and rejuvenate your look!
Are There Any Side Effects to Limelight Facial Treatment?
A minor but noticeable redness usually accompanies each treatment session — it will disappear within a few hours after treatment. Patients can return directly to their daily lives after applying broad-spectrum sunscreen to their skin as soon as they leave our office!
