Laser Genesis Skin Renewal may not be suitable for everyone, including those who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have specific health conditions. IPL Photorejuvenation effectively addresses uneven skin tone, pigmentation issues, and sun damage and is safe for use with our state-of-the-art Cutera Limelight IPL device.

• Limelight IPL photorejuvenation is very effective at treating:
• Uneven pigmentation and skin tone
• Brown spots (Freckles, solar lentigines, age spots)
• “Broken” capillaries and dilated blood vessels
• Redness (including acne rosacea and poikiloderma)
• Sun-damage

It is most commonly used on the face, neck, décolletage, arms and hands, but it can be used on any area of the body.

There are multiple brands of IPL / BBL machines on the market, and they are not all equal. At Mel Hornery Cosmetics, we have invested in the top of the line Cutera Limelight IPL. These are sophisticated, medical grade IPL devices and approved in Australia by the Therapeutic Goods Australia (TGA). Limelight IPL photorejuvenation is unique in being able to choose three different wavelength spectrums to accurately tailor the treatment to your skin type, and to target either red, brown, or red and brown pigments.

Photorejuvenation refers to any method which uses light to rejuvenate the skin (including intense pulsed light (IPL), broad band light (BBL), laser, LED light (LLT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT). Limelight IPL differs from laser, in that a laser produces just one specific wavelength of light while the Limelight IPL can cover a broad range of wavelengths (from 520nm to 1100nm).

Limelight deposits pulses of light energy into the superficial layers of the skin where it is absorbed by specific targets (red and brown pigments) such as fine broken blood vessels that cause redness, and melanin pigment in brown spots. This process destroys the target and eliminates it from the skin, restoring the normal skin tone and complexion.

IPL is absorbed by brown pigment, including an active tan, spray-on tan and self-tanning agents. As such, the area to be treated should not have had excessive sun-exposure for 4 weeks, or fake tan applied for 4 weeks prior to the Limelight procedure. Sun-exposure and tanning will be discussed with you prior to treatment.

Isolated red or brown lesions should not be treated by a nurse or beauty therapist without prior medical assessment and guidance. These lesions could be precancerous or cancerous (including melanoma) and must be examined by a doctor. At Mel Hornery Cosmetics, all patients with red or brown spots are assessed prior to receiving treatment - f your red or brown spot is atypical you will be referred to an experienced skin specialist for its removal.

The procedure involves minimal discomfort, and protective measures will be taken to ensure your skin's safety. A cooling gel enhances the experience, making it as comfortable as possible. The treatment duration varies based on the treated area.

This non-invasive procedure allows for immediate return to daily activities, with some potential temporary redness or swelling. Sun protection post-treatment is crucial.

While side effects are rare, they can include temporary redness, swelling, or pigment changes, particularly in darker skin types. A test patch may be necessary to calibrate the IPL energy for your skin.
