Is a Cutera Limelight Laser IPL a solution for the brown spots I've developed during pregnancy? (Photos)

Question

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?

Nelson Lee Novick, MD · Answer

It simply shows the power of advertising and marketing that people these days immediately jump to asking which expensive laser or light treatment is best for them, rather than inquiring which treatment might be best for them. Superficial peeling agents have a several decades long track record of safety and efficacy in treating all kinds of hyperpigmentary problems, including melasma and postinflammatory hyperpigmentation. What these treatments lack in the glitz and bells and whistles advertising as compared to light and energy-based devices, they make up for with a long history of producing gratifying, cost-effective results. Make sure to consult with a board certified aesthetic physician and best of luck.
