What is Intense Pulse Light (IPL)?
IPL is a system of pulsed light and lasers that works to improve the tone and texture of the skin.
The LimeLight Facial is a procedure that will treat diffuse redness, dyschromia, telangiectasia, solar lentigines and rosacea with more precision - effectively decreasing the number of treatments.
And, LimeLight can be used where you need it most - on the face, chest, arms and hands without gel or topical anesthetics.

Does the treatment hurt?
Our patients report no pain, merely a mild tingling sensation within the skin.

With the LimeLight is now possible to treat a full face in just 30 minutes as opposed to over 45 minutes required with older technologies.
