40 Years Old Terrible Sundamage Used Limelight IPL - Santa Monica, CA

I have had terrible broken capillaries and brown spots down the sides of my neck and chest area for years. Though I use sunblock daily, living in an area with extreme heat makes for inevitable sun damage and premature aging. I had been previously treated by a different Dr. years ago,with a different laser system and saw zero result. I have since been seeing Dr. Raffy Karamanoukian and have been very pleased with all of the procedures he has performed for me. Limelight was a new service his office was offering so I decided to give it a try. The procedure was painless, lasted about 10 minutes and instantly improved the blotchy appearance of my skin! I no longer will need to use heavy concealer to cover the sun damage on my neck and can wear my hair in a ponytail without being terribly self conscious. This is huge for me as I am a nursing student and we must pull our hair into a bun. When I got home I looked at my chest and it had improved dramatically! It was covered in fine wrinkles,brown spots, and to many broken capillaries to count! I now have on a tank top and my chest looks great! Smoother and brighter after only 1 treatment! For years I have used glycolic acid and retinol and neither improved the look of sun damage to such a degree...I have since learned "IPL is the gold standard" for these troublesome areas. I am happy with my results and would highly recommend Dr. Karamanoukian for any laser treatments or surgical procedure.

You look terrific!  Will you have to have additional treatments to maintain your look?  Please keep us updated and congratulations.

Thank you:) it has very much improved my sun damaged areas, but I may have to do another treatment as I live in the desert and invariably will incur more sun damage over time.

Like you I have sundamage on my chest and deep wrinkles ... and was thinking to have something done to correct this. If you dont mind me asking...how much was one treatment?
and Im wondering if this same treatment(just once or maybe two) would get rid of my wrinkles.

Thanks !!
