✨ Limelight IPL Photofacial at KARMA Holywood

Reveal a Clearer, More Even Complexion with Cutera’s Advanced IPL Technology

At KARMA Skin Clinic, we offer Cutera Limelight IPL, a non-invasive treatment that targets pigmentation, redness, and sun damage to provide a clearer and more even skin tone. Using precise light energy, Limelight IPL addresses concerns such as age spots, rosacea, and general skin discoloration, helping you achieve a radiant and youthful appearance.

🌟 What Is Limelight IPL?

Limelight IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is a non-ablative treatment that delivers gentle pulses of light to the skin. These pulses target specific chromophores—melanin (pigmentation) and hemoglobin (redness)—to reduce imperfections and stimulate collagen production. The result is improved skin texture, tone, and clarity with minimal downtime.

💫 Key Benefits of Limelight IPL

• Reduces age spots, sun damage, and freckles

• Diminishes redness and rosacea symptoms

• Improves uneven skin tone and texture

• Targets fine lines and mild acne scarring

• Safe for all skin types and tones

• Minimal discomfort and no downtime

🧬 How Limelight IPL Works

Limelight IPL emits a broad spectrum of light that penetrates the skin's surface to target and break down pigmented cells and blood vessels. The absorbed energy is then naturally eliminated by the body's healing processes. This treatment also stimulates collagen production, enhancing skin elasticity and reducing the appearance of fine lines.

📍 Treatment Areas

Limelight IPL is effective on various areas of the body, including:

• Face

• Neck

• Décolleté

• Hands

• Shoulders

It's particularly beneficial for areas with sun damage, redness, or uneven pigmentation.

⏳ Treatment Timeline

• Duration: Typically 30–45 minutes

• Sessions: A series of 3–5 treatments, spaced 3–4 weeks apart, is recommended

• Maintenance: Annual sessions to sustain results

💬 What to Expect During and After Treatment

During the procedure, you may experience a mild snapping or tingling sensation as the light pulses are delivered. Post-treatment, some redness or swelling may occur but usually subsides within a few hours. Pigmented spots may darken temporarily before flaking off, revealing clearer skin beneath.

🚫 Who Should Avoid Limelight IPL

Limelight IPL is not suitable for individuals who:

• Are pregnant or breastfeeding

• Have active skin infections or open wounds

• Are currently using photosensitizing medications

• Have a history of keloid scarring

• Have certain skin conditions (e.g., active eczema, psoriasis)

A consultation with our skin therapists will help determine if Limelight IPL is appropriate for you.
