If we decide that Limelight IPL is the treatment for you we will take photos and perform a test patch in the area 48 hours prior to treatment. We will explain why we have chosen this treatment for you and discuss in depth what to expect pre, during and post IPL.
This is not a relaxing treatment, it causes some mild discomfort.
Your eyes will be covered with protective goggles while we treat. We apply a cold ultrasound gel to the are to support the surface of your skin,
Limelight IPL is bright and may cause you to jump a little which is normal. You will feel a warm, flicking sensation, similar to a rubber band snap. Some pulses can feel hotter depending on the area, boney areas are more uncomfortable.
Once we stop treating we will apply ice packs and a cooling mask to the area to reduce heat and ensure optimum comfort.
Your skin may feel warm for a few hours post treatment.

Your skin is now going through a healing process so go easy on your skin for 5 - 7 days.
