Cutera LimeLight IPL™

Cutera Limelight IPL may be performed across the face, neck, décolletage, hands and arms depending on the concerns being addressed and the treatment plan recommended by your clinician.

Following treatment, mild redness and warmth may occur for several hours. Areas of pigmentation commonly darken temporarily before naturally flaking away as the skin renews itself. Many patients begin noticing visible improvement within 7 to 10 days, with continued enhancement in skin clarity and tone over the following weeks.

Any areas of pigmentation that darken and flake should be allowed to shed naturally without picking or scratching to support optimal healing and treatment outcomes.
