LimeLight Facial - Phoenix Wellness Clinic Albury
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 photodamage. It can be customised for differnt skin tones and ageing skin conditions. The result is an exceptionally effective skin rejuvenation treatment with minimal discomfort.
What Areas Can Be Treated?
The LimeLight Facial is ideal for any part of your face, neck and decollete that is effected by skin redness, telangiectasia (tiny veins) or brown spots. Light (low contrast) brown spots, were previously difficult to resolve but respond very well to treatment.
What does the treatment do?
By choosing from a selection of different programs, our doctors can customise your LimeLight Facial to your skin type and selectively treat the brown and/or red pigmented areas on your skin. It's the heating of the pigmented brown or red cells that causes the therapeutic effect.
What do treatments feel like?
When the pulse of light is delivered, patients will experience a mild pinching or stinging sensation. Gel is recommended to cool the skin before valcular treatments.
How long will treatments take?
Treatment time depends on the area of the body being treated. However most treatments will take less than one hour.
How many treatments will I need?
One to three treatments is 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 from a few hours to possibly a day or longer. Makeup 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 complection 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 apply broad spectrum sunscreen when outdoors to minimise 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 it's appearance can be improved.
