HOW DOES IT WORK?
Using light therapy to target abnormal red and brown pigment in the upper layer of the skin (epidermis), LimeLight PhotoFacial leaves behind a smooth, even skin tone. For small dilated blood vessels (telangiectasia), rosacea, the treatment selectively targets abnormal blood vessels that are the cause the problem, resulting in clear, calm skin. The benefits of the procedure begin to emerge two to three weeks after the initial treatment, with maximal results apparent after a month.

ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS?
When a pulse of light is delivered, a mild pinching or stinging sensation may be felt as the target areas absorb the light. The treated area may be slightly red and mildly swollen immediately following treatment and brown spots will start to darken. Typically lasting a few hours to possibly a day, mineral makeup can be applied to cover redness and darkening brown spots.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE TREATMENT?
At the end of your treatment course a maintenance program of homecare and further treatments will be individually prescribed to ensure you get the very best out of your skin results. In particular, protecting skin from the sun by applying sunscreen, a pigment inhibitor and protective clothing can increase the longevity of this treatment and reduce the likelihood of new brown spots, telangiectasia and diffuse redness reappearing.
