The IPL Limelight Facial is a non-invasive revitalizing treatment. This procedure targets all surface imperfections such as aging, sun damage, brown spots, pigmentation, redness and rosacea. This laser treatment is beneficial to treat the full face, neck and décolleté.
Limelight IPL targets various skin concerns, promotes collagen production, reduces signs of aging, improves skin tone, and provides a non-invasive solution with minimal downtime
LimeLight IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses controlled pulses of broad-spectrum light to target and treat various skin concerns.
Here’s how LimeLight IPL works:
- Selective Photothermolysis: LimeLight IPL employs a principle called selective photothermolysis. This process involves using specific wavelengths of light that are absorbed by the target chromophores in the skin, such as melanin (responsible for pigmentation) and hemoglobin (present in blood vessels).
- Customized Settings: Before the treatment, licensed aesthetician, assesses your skin condition and concerns. and then adjust the LimeLight IPL device’s settings to tailor the treatment to your specific needs. This customization ensures that the appropriate wavelengths, pulse duration, and energy levels are used for your skin type and concerns.
- Application of IPL: During the procedure, a handheld device is placed on the skin’s surface. The device emits short bursts of intense light energy. The broad spectrum of light emitted by the IPL device can target multiple chromophores simultaneously, making it effective for treating different skin issues in the same session.
- Absorption and Heating: The targeted chromophores, such as melanin in pigmented spots or hemoglobin in blood vessels, absorb the IPL’s energy. This absorption converts the light into heat, which selectively damages the targeted structures while leaving surrounding skin and tissue unaffected.
- Skin’s Natural Healing Response: The controlled damage to the targeted areas triggers the skin’s natural healing response. Over time, the damaged cells and structures are broken down and cleared away by the body’s natural processes.
- Collagen Stimulation: As part of the healing process, LimeLight IPL also stimulates collagen production in the skin. Collagen is a vital protein responsible for maintaining skin’s elasticity and firmness. Increased collagen production can lead to gradual skin improvement and a more youthful appearance.
- Gradual Results: After the LimeLight IPL treatment, you may notice some immediate results, such as darkening of pigmented spots or mild redness. However, the full benefits of the treatment become more apparent over the following weeks as the skin’s natural rejuvenation processes take effect.
LimeLight IPL is a versatile treatment that can be used to address various skin concerns on different areas of the body.
Some of the treatable areas for LimeLight IPL include:
- Face: LimeLight IPL can effectively treat pigmentation irregularities, sun damage, redness, and vascular lesions on the face, providing a more even and radiant complexion.
- Neck: The neck is a common area for visible signs of aging and sun damage. LimeLight IPL can be used to target pigmentation, redness, and other concerns in this area.
- Chest and Décolletage: LimeLight IPL can address sunspots and redness on the chest and décolletage, helping to improve the skin’s appearance in this often-exposed area.
- Hands: The backs of the hands are prone to sunspots and pigmentation, and LimeLight IPL can be used to fade these spots, leading to smoother and more youthful-looking hands.
- Arms: LimeLight IPL can be utilized to target sunspots, freckles, and other pigmentation irregularities on the arms.
- Legs: Similar to the arms, LimeLight IPL can be used on the legs to reduce the appearance of sunspots and other pigmentation issues.
- Back: For individuals with pigmentation concerns or vascular lesions on their back, LimeLight IPL can be an effective treatment option.

During the Treatment:
- Comfort Measures: During the LimeLight IPL treatment, you will be asked to wear protective eyewear to shield your eyes from the intense light. we may also apply a cooling gel or cooling device on the treatment area to increase comfort and protect the skin’s surface.
- Pulses of Light: we will use the handheld LimeLight IPL device to deliver controlled pulses of broad-spectrum light to the targeted areas of your skin. You may feel a mild snapping or warming sensation as the light energy is absorbed by the skin.
- Duration: The treatment time varies depending on the size of the treatment area and the specific skin concerns being addressed. Typically, each session takes around 45 to 75 minutes.
After the Treatment:
- Immediate Aftercare: Once the LimeLight IPL session is complete, you may experience some mild redness and warmth in the treated area. This is normal and should subside within a few hours.
- Sun Protection: After the treatment, it’s crucial to protect your skin from direct sun exposure. Your provider may recommend using a broad-spectrum sunscreen and avoiding sun exposure for a few days to prevent any potential adverse reactions.
- Resume Normal Activities: In most cases, there is little to no downtime after LimeLight IPL. You can typically resume your regular activities immediately after the treatment.
- Results and Follow-Up: Over the following weeks, you should start to see gradual improvements in your skin as the targeted concerns, such as hyperpigmentation or redness, begin to fade. Depending on your skin condition, multiple treatment sessions may be recommended for optimal results, spaced a few weeks apart.
- Skin Sensitivity: Your skin may feel more sensitive in the days following the treatment, so it’s essential to be gentle with your skincare routine and avoid harsh products.

Frequently Asked Questions
IPL (intense pulsed light) is a powerful system that treats superficial hyperpigmentation, discolouration, ‘broken’ or damaged capillaries which are highly visible, and skin redness. IPL is characterized as a beam of light that targets skin imperfections and markings associated with ageing and sun damage, improving skin tone and texture.
When the pulse of light is delivered, patients will experience a mild stinging or very brief ‘pinching-like’ sensation. Cooling gel is often used to help calm and comfort the skin before the light energy is pulsed. Anesthetic or pain medicine is typically not required.
One to three treatments are usually sufficient to see results. Additional treatments may be recommended, especially for excessively sun-damaged skin. At Celebrity Laser & Skin Care, we offer other solutions if your specific concern is not suitable to be treated with IPL.
Immediately following the Limelight IPL treatment, your brown spots may start to darken, and your skin is likely to appear slightly pink or reddish. The treated area may become mildly swollen. Swelling typically lasts a few hours, but in some cases can be present for a couple of days. Specific makeup can be applied to cover the redness if necessary.
Within 1-3 weeks, darkened spots will flake off and fade. Diffuse redness or tiny vessels will decrease, and mottled complexion will improve.
New brown spots, telangiectasia (tiny vessels) and diffuse redness may appear with further sun damage. However, they can be treated as required. Remember always to apply broad-spectrum sunscreen when outdoors to minimize sun damage and the appearance of new spots and diffuse redness.
