About Limelight Facial (IPL)
Limelight (IPL) is an innovative way to quickly,
safely and comfortably improve your skin's texture, tone and color on
your face, chest, arms, and hands, without gel or topical anesthetics.
Signs of sun damage and age spots will usually flake off after one or
two treatments, leaving clearer, younger looking skin.
Murphy Laser has been offering this service to its clients since 2003, and were one of the first clinics in Ottawa to do so.

What is the Limelight (IPL) Facial?
The Limelight (IPL) Facial is a
new, non-invasive approach to skin rejuvenation using Cutera’s
LimeLight. The procedure offers the advantage of improving skin tone
and surface imperfections associated with aging and photodamage.
-
What areas can be treated?
The Limelight (IPL) Facial is ideal
for any part of your face, neck and dcollet with skin redness,
telangiectasia (tiny veins) or brown spots. Light (low contrast)
brown spots, which were previously difficult to resolve, respond
very well to treatment.
-
What does the treatment do?
By selecting Program A, B or
C, your practitioner can customize your Limelight (IPL) facial to your
skin type and selectively treat the brown and/ or red pigmented
areas on your skin. It’s the heating of the pigmented brown or red
cells that causes the therapeutic effect.
-
What do the treatments feel like?
When the pulse of light is
delivered, patients will experience a mild pinching or stinging
sensation. Gel is recommended to cool the skin before vascular
treatments. Anesthesia or pain medicine is typically not required.
-
How long will the treatment take?
Treatment time depends on the
area of the body being treated. However, most treatments should take
less than one hour. Call us today to book your appointment. 613-235-9549.
-
How many treatments will I need?
One to three treatments are
usually sufficient to see results. Additional treatments may be
recommended, especially for excessively sun-damaged skin. Contact us today for a free consultation.
-
What happens after the treatment?
Immediately following
treatment, brown spots will start to darken and your skin may appear
slightly red. The treated area may be mildly swollen. This typically
lasts a few hours and possibly a day or longer. Make-up can be
applied to cover the redness.
-
When will I see results?
Within one to three weeks,
the darkened spots will flake off and fade. Diffuse redness or
telangiectasia will decrease and your mottled complexion will
improve.
-
Will the spots and redness reappear over time?
New brown spots,
telangiectasia and diffuse redness may appear with new sun damage;
however they too can be treated. Remember to always apply
broad-spectrum sunscreen when outdoors to minimize sun damage and
the appearance of new spots and diffuse redness. Rosacea is chronic
and cannot be “cured” with any laser or light source, however its
appearance can be improved.
