how does a limelight facial work?

The IPL Limelight Facial begins with the application of controlled pulses of light into the upper dermis using a handheld device. These light pulses target specific pigmented and vascular areas, where the heat is absorbed by melanin and blood in tiny vessels. This process encourages a more even distribution of brown and red skin cells, resulting in a clearer, more uniform skin tone.

Following the IPL treatment, an exfoliating peel is applied to further even out skin tone and enhance overall texture. The facial concludes with the application of a brightening mask, chosen to illuminate, hydrate, and amplify the effects of the treatment. This tri-phase approach ensures a comprehensive treatment that not only improves pigmentation and vascular issues but also rejuvenates the skin from within, resulting in a more radiant, even, and youthful complexion.
