– Before: Visible skin discoloration
– After: Clear, rejuvenated skin appearance

Treatment Applications
The LimeLight Facial is perfectly suited for treating the face, neck, and décolleté areas, especially for those dealing with skin redness, tiny veins (telangiectasia), or brown spots. It’s notably effective on light brown spots, which are traditionally challenging to treat.

Customized Treatment Approach
This facial allows for a tailored experience with options like Program A, B, or C, enabling practitioners to adjust the treatment according to your skin type. It specifically targets and heats the brown and red pigmented areas, leading to a healing effect.

Sensation During Treatment
During the LimeLight treatment, expect a sensation similar to a light pinch or sting when each light pulse is delivered. To alleviate discomfort and cool the skin, especially in vascular treatments, applying a gel is advisable. Generally, there’s no need for anesthesia or pain medication.

Duration of the Treatment
The length of each session can vary depending on the body area being treated, but most sessions are completed in under an hour.

Number of Treatments Needed
Typically, 1 to 3 sessions are sufficient for noticeable results. However, for skin with extensive sun damage, more sessions may be recommended.

Post-Treatment Expectations
Post-treatment, you might notice immediate darkening of brown spots and mild redness or swelling of the treated area. This usually subsides within a few hours to a day. Makeup can be applied to conceal any redness.

Visibility of Results
Results become evident between one to three weeks as darkened spots flake off and telangiectasia or diffuse redness lessens, leading to an enhanced, even skin complexion.

Long-Term Effects and Maintenance
Over time, new brown spots and redness may develop due to further sun exposure. Consistent use of a broad-spectrum sunscreen can help minimize these effects. It’s important to note that while laser or light treatments can improve the appearance of chronic conditions like rosacea, they don’t offer a cure.
