Reveal brighter, more even skin with IPL photofacial treatments that target sun damage, brown spots, redness, broken capillaries, and uneven tone. At True Skin & Wellness, we use the Cutera Limelight IPL device to refresh your complexion, boost radiance, and smooth texture, helping you feel confident in your skin with minimal downtime.
Brighten and Balance
Your Complexion
An IPL photofacial is a non-invasive light-based treatment that helps refresh and rebalance your skin by targeting unwanted red and brown discoloration beneath the skin’s surface. Using the Cutera Limelight IPL, gentle pulses of light are delivered into the skin, where they’re absorbed by pigment and tiny blood vessels. Your body naturally clears away those damaged cells, revealing clearer, brighter, more even-toned skin.
IPL Photofacial Treats:
- Sun damage and photodamage
- Brown spots, age spots, and freckles
- Redness and rosacea
- Broken capillaries and facial veins
- Cherry angiomas and venous lakes
- Pigment caused by hormonal changes
- Uneven skin tone and lack of clarity
- Mild skin laxity
- Dull, tired-looking skin
How Limelight IPL Photofacial Works
Limelight IPL uses controlled pulses of broad-spectrum light to penetrate the upper layers of your skin. That light is absorbed by brown pigment and red blood vessels, where it converts to heat and breaks those unwanted cells apart. Your body then naturally clears away the damaged pigment over time, revealing clearer, more even skin. At the same time, the gentle heat stimulates collagen production, helping improve overall texture and firmness.
Benefits of Limelight IPL Photofacial:
- Non-invasive treatment with no needles or incisions
- Targets both red and brown discoloration in one session
- Minimal downtime with a quick return to daily activities
- Customizable settings for different skin types and concerns
- Helps stimulate collagen production for smoother skin texture
- Treats multiple areas including face, neck, chest, and hands
- Can be combined with other treatments for enhanced results
Your IPL Photofacial Experience
Consultation
You’ll start by chatting with one of our providers about your skin concerns, goals, and what you’d love to improve. We’ll take a close look at your skin, discuss your health history, and determine if Limelight IPL is the right fit for you. Then we’ll walk you through how the treatment works, what to expect before and after, and create a personalized plan just for your skin.
Treatment
Once you’re comfortable, your provider cleanses your skin and applies a cool gel to help the Limelight handpiece glide smoothly. You’ll wear protective eye shields, then gentle pulses of light are delivered to the treatment area. Each pulse feels like a quick rubber band snap with a bright flash. We use cooling throughout to keep things comfortable. Sessions usually take about 45 minutes, and when you’re done, you’re free to head back to your day.
Recovery
Right after treatment, your skin may look a little pink and feel warm, similar to a mild sunburn, for about 15 to 60 minutes. Some tenderness or sensitivity can last up to 24-48 hours. Over the next 72 hours, brown spots may temporarily darken and areas of redness can look even more noticeable. Those spots naturally flake or fade away over the next 5-10 days. There’s no true social downtime, and makeup can be applied about one hour after treatment.
Results
Many people start noticing clearer, brighter skin as soon as 5 days after treatment, with continued improvement over the following weeks. For best results, we typically recommend a series of 2-6 sessions spaced about a month apart, with most patients loving their glow after three. The results are long-lasting, especially with good skincare and sun protection. However, occasional maintenance treatments can help keep your complexion radiant year-round.
