I am looking into a strong photofacial to correct the early age/sun spots I've developed during my pregnancy. I understand that not all machines for IPL are created equal, thus the massive price range for this procedure. Is a limelight laser by cutera strong enough to fix these spots?
I had Limelight laser done two months ago. It has given me more brown patches on the face that I never had. But worst if all I am left with a 1 inch long rectangular patch on one cheek. This is wher the Dr used a high setting and I had to ask her to stop. What will help fade the brown mark? I have olive skin. She gave me kojic acid cream but this made the area red so I stopped using it. Advice greatly appreciated as I am very worried.
Will these scar or will they heal? It was done to get rid of a couple old scan scars and now ended up looking like this. The technician says that she will begin genesis treatments in five weeks, six sessions of it for free.
Hi there, I've had limelight used on my face to great success but this is my chest one day post treatment. My treating nurse says it ok and will heal but I am unsure- do these look like burns and if so how likely are they to heal? I'm terrified after reading horror stories.
I'm a 46-year old female, very fair skin. I have had 4 IPLs (Palomar ICON), but my facial broken capillaries keep returning, even getting worse. The 4 treatments did not get rid of them. Might a different treatment (V beam? BBL?), or a different type of IPL (Genisis? Limelight?), help? Could it be that, once the original broken capillaries are eliminated, the problem spills over to the capillaries beside them? In photo, they are about twice as long as they were before the treatment.
My sister(dark skinned; hispanic) had an IPL treatment done and she had burn On her entire cheeks. Thankfully, the blusters healed well and the darkened areas peeled off okay. My main concern is the possible PIH Over the areas that have scabbed off. She had melasma over the cheeks and that was the reason why she had the IPL treatment. it's only been 2 wks since the treatment and we are so concerned of the PIH. when can my sister start using hydroquinone ointment?
