When it comes to skin care and rejuvenation, there are so many options that you may not know which to try. However, no matter what your goals are, the Cutera® Limelight IPL facial treatment may be just what you need. If you haven’t heard of it, learn more about how it works below. 

What Is the Cutera Limelight IPL Facial Treatment? 

Using a noninvasive medical-grade light source, Cutera Limelight IPL helps with a variety of skin care issues, mainly in your neck and face, including age spots, visible veins, redness, and freckles. The heat from the pulsing light breaks up abnormal skin pigments into smaller pieces that your immune system eventually discards.

For rosacea, the light can help eliminate the problematic blood vessels. As a result, your face will look and feel younger, smoother, and more radiant. 

What Can You Expect? 

When you receive a Cutera Limelight IPL facial treatment, you will likely feel a slight stinging sensation as the light pulses against your skin; however, it doesn’t warrant any numbing agents.

How long the facial lasts depends on the area being treated, though it usually doesn’t take more than an hour. Afterward, the affected areas may appear dark or even swell a little, but these side effects will fade in one to three weeks. In the meantime, you can easily cover it with makeup.

Sometimes, you can see the results you want after only one treatment; other times, it may take up to three. Regardless, the result is the same: you get to enjoy healthier and more youthful skin with no risk of long-term or damaging side effects.
