Your Treatment Process
Step 1: Consultation
Step 2: During the Treatment
Step 3: Post-Treatment Care
Your journey begins with a personalised consultation where we assess your skin type, concerns, and goals. This ensures the Limelight IPL treatment is tailored to deliver the best possible results.
The Cutera Xeo Limelight delivers precise pulses of light to target pigmentation and vascular concerns. You may feel a mild snapping sensation, but most clients find the treatment moderately tolerable. The advanced cooling system enhances comfort during the procedure.
After your session, mild redness or darkening of pigmentation spots may occur, which typically subsides within a few days. We’ll provide aftercare instructions to optimise your results and ensure smooth recovery.
Pre and Post Treatment Care
Pre-Treatment Preparation:
- Avoid sun exposure, tanning, and artificial tanning for at least two weeks before your session.
- Discontinue the use of active skincare ingredients like retinol, AHAs, or BHAs 5-7 days prior.
- Inform your clinician of any medications or recent treatments.
- Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin on the day of your appointment.
Post-Treatment Care:
- Apply a gentle moisturiser and broad-spectrum sunscreen daily.
- Avoid exfoliating or harsh skincare products for 5-7 days post-treatment.
- Protect the treated area from sun exposure with SPF 50 sunscreen.
- Refrain from picking or scratching at any treated spots as they darken and flake off naturally.
- Follow all aftercare instructions provided by your clinician for optimal results.
