LIMELIGHT™

We have all spent time in the sun we regret. In fact, sun exposure is the main culprit behind fine and deeper facial wrinkles, freckles, age spots (also known as sun or liver spots), leathery skin texture, dull-colored skin and enlarged pores. Rejuv Medical will remove the signs of sun damage and restore your youthful appearance!

The LimeLight™ Difference 

Our LimeLight™ treatments are quicker and more comfortable than traditional photofacial treatments. They also produce superior results in fewer sessions! We have invested in a pulsed light system that is exceptionally effective at treating pigment at a much more comfortable energy level than other providers.

How Does LimeLight™ Work?

The pigmented spots on your skin selectively absorb the visible light delivered with the LimeLight™ procedure. It is also absorbed by hemoglobin where you have redness and excessive flushing or blushing. The heating of the pigmented cells causes the therapeutic result, effectively destroying the damaged cells and removing discolorations to vastly improve skin tone.

Can All of My Spots Be Treated This Way?

Spots formed by sun exposure can effectively be treated with the LimeLight™ procedure. There are, however, other types of pigmented lesions, such as birthmarks and moles, which may not be treatable. We will perform a quick yet thorough evaluation of your pigmented lesions during your complimentary consultation.

What Areas Can Be Treated?

Virtually any part of your body with sun damage, including “age” or “liver” spots and freckles, can be safely treated. Red and brown mottling of the skin develops over time and is common in areas of your body most exposed to sun exposure, even when you have not been “laying out” or purposely developing a tan. The face, chest, hands and arms are the most popular areas for treatment because they typically have the most sun exposure. Both single, discrete spots and skin densely covered with freckles respond well to treatment.

What Do Treatments Feel Like? 

Blood blisters, or hemangiomas (which appear as small red “moles”), respond very well to laser vein therapy, often with just one treatment. Clients with port wine stains and other vascular lesions that have given up on finding a solution have been overwhelmed by the success of their CoolGlide vascular treatments.

What Do Treatments Feel Like? 

When the hand piece is placed on your skin, it will feel cool and comfortable. When the pulse of light is delivered, you may feel a mild, brief pinching sensation.

What Are the Possible Side Effects? 

Immediately following the treatment, the spots may start to darken. You may also notice a slight reddening of the surrounding skin. This redness typically subsides within a few minutes to a couple of hours. Over the course of the next one to three weeks, darkened spots will flake off as your skin naturally exfoliates. These dark flakes are from sun damage that was beneath your skin that our laser destroyed and brought to the surface. We will discuss all risks and benefits with you thoroughly at your consultation.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

Typically, one or two treatments are sufficient to see dramatic improvement. Most individuals require three to five treatments for the best results.

How Long Do Results Last?

With additional sun exposure, new spots may appear. These too can be removed. Remember to liberally apply sunscreen when outdoors to minimize sun damage and the appearance of new spots. Maintenance recommendations will be based on your individual symptoms and lifestyle.
