Cutera Limelight IPL

Non Invasive
Excellent for pigmentation
Improves skin tone/texture

About This Treatment

Cutera Limelight is an advanced Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy designed to target and reduce skin pigmentation concerns such as sunspots, age spots, redness, broken capillaries and uneven skin tone. This non-invasive procedure uses precise light wavelengths to penetrate the skin, targeting pigment and blood vessels to reveal a clearer, more radiant complexion. It’s ideal for those looking to improve skin texture and reverse signs of sun damage without downtime or discomfort.

What Can It Help With?

  • Sun damage: reduces sunspots, freckles, and UV-related pigmentation
  • Age spots: lightens dark spots caused by ageing and sun exposure
  • Redness and rosacea: improves visible redness, broken capillaries, and vascular issues
  • Uneven skin tone: evens out discolouration and patchiness
  • Freckles: minimizes sun-induced or age-related freckles

Benefits of Limelight Treatment

  • Non-invasive: no surgery or needles involved
  • Effective on various pigmentation and vascular concerns
  • Enhances skin texture and overall appearance
  • Can be combined with Laser Genesis in the 2D FACIAL for advanced skin rejuvenation

How It Works

Limelight delivers pulses of light at specific wavelengths to target melanin (pigment) and hemoglobin (blood vessels) within the skin. The light energy breaks down pigment clusters and shrinks blood vessels, which are then naturally eliminated by the body. This process results in more even skin tone and improved texture. The treatment also stimulates collagen production to enhance skin smoothness and elasticity.

The 2D FACIAL by Cutera

This innovative combination treatment pairs Limelight with Laser Genesis to provide a dual approach—tackling pigmentation and vascular issues with Limelight, while Laser Genesis stimulates collagen for finer lines and skin texture. Together, they create a refreshed, youthful glow suitable for all skin types.

Aftercare for Limelight

  • Redness: Redness similar to a sunburn may appear and occasionally skin that looks almost crusty
  • Pigmentation: Darkened spots may temporarily appear before fading within 7–14 days; avoid picking or scratching
  • Sun protection: Daily broad-spectrum SPF 30+ is essential post-treatment
  • Avoid heat: Steer clear of hot showers, saunas, and intense exercise for 24–48 hours
  • Moisturise: Keep the skin hydrated to support healing and comfort

Results vary depending on the concerns treated but typically last several months. Maintenance treatments will prolong benefits.
