The Cutera LimeLight delivers a non-invasive light treatment that can be customized for different skin tones and aging skin conditions. The result is an exceptionally effective skin revitalization treatment with minimal discomfort. LimeLight Facial™ is a treatment of skin redness, tiny veins, brown spots and sun damage.
What areas can be treated?
The LimeLight Facial is ideal for any part of your face, hands, neck and décolleté with skin redness, telangiectasia (tiny veins) or brown spots. Light (low contrast) brown spots, which were previously difficult to resolve, respond very well to treatment.
What do treatments feel like?
When the pulse of light is delivered, patients will experience a mild pinching or stinging sensation. Gel is used to cool the skin before vascular treatments. Anesthesia or pain medicine is not required.
How long will the treatments take?
Treatment time depends on the area of the body being treated. However, most treatments should take less than one hour.
How many treatments will I need?
One to three treatments four weeks apart are usually sufficient to see results. Additional treatments may be recommended, especially for excessively sun-damaged skin.
What happens after the treatment?
Immediately following treatment, brown spots will start to darken and your skin may appear slightly red. The treated area may be slightly swollen. This typically lasts a few hours and possibly a day or longer. Make-up can be applied to cover the redness.
When will I see results?
Within one to three weeks, the darkened spots will flake off and fade. Diffuse redness or telangiectasia will decrease and your mottled complexion will improve.
Will the spots and redness reappear over time?
New brown spots, telangiectasia and diffuse redness may appear with new sun damage; however they too can be treated. Remember to always apply broad-spectrum sunscreen when outdoors to minimize sun damage and the appearance of new spots and diffuse redness. Rosacea is chronic and cannot be “cured” with any laser or light source, however its appearance can be improved.

Juvederm Voluma XC is the newest non-surgical filler from Allergan–the makers of Juvederm Ultra, Juvederm Ultra Plus XC, and Botox. It’s becoming a very popular option for many clients. The first question we always hear is “What is the difference between Juvederm Voluma and other fillers?” There are three main differences between Voluma and other HA fillers such as Juvederm Ultra XC, Restylane and Perlane.
Texture When comparing Juvederm Voluma vs Juvederm Ultra XC, you would notice that the texture of Ultra is similar to pudding while the texture of Voluma is closer to Jello. This thicker texture gives the new filler its unique lifting properties and also leads to differences in where it can be placed in the face.
Placement Voluma is specifically designed to be injected deep in the dermis and to lay right on top of your facial bones. This ability to sit deep and stay in place is exactly what makes Voluma useful for particular injection sites and treatment outcomes. Voluma works best when it’s injected into the upper cheek or middle cheek or the chin. Although other Dermal Fillers can be used, Voluma has the advantage of having longer lasting properties.
List of Common Juvederm Voluma Injections Sites:
Cheeks (upper cheeks and mid cheek)
Jowls
Chin
Voluma will not be used under the eyes, in the lips or along the nasolabial folds (those lines going between the corners of your mouth and your nose). All of those injection sites require a thinner, more moldable filler to smoothly lay into the contour of your face.
List of Injection Sites Juvederm Voluma WILL NOT be Used For:
Lips
Under the eyes
Nasolabial folds
Longevity How long does Juvederm Voluma last? According to Allergan, under optimal conditions the filler can last up to two years. Conditions vary, but it’s safe to say that you’ll get a longer lasting result from a Voluma treatment than some of your other filler options.
Average Cost of Juvederm Voluma According to the “Real Patient Reviews” at Realself.com, the national average Juvederm Voluma price is $1,400, the average cost in New England area is $1000/syringe.
BREAK THE ICE ON A CONVERSATION ABOUT TREATING FROWN LINES AND FEAR OF THE FROZEN LOOK
“People aren’t talking about it openly, so they don’t have the opportunity to learn about all their options for treating frown lines, including Dysport®, which is a great choice for many people interested in looking their best, with natural-looking results.”
74% of Women and Men Would Be More Interested in Treatment If Results Looked Natural, According to New Survey
FORT WORTH, Texas – April 12, 2016 – Despite injectable treatments like Dysport®* (abobotulinumtoxinA) and professional techniques that enable natural- looking results, concerns and misperceptions are still holding women and men back from treating frown lines between the eyebrows. Despite reporting that a person with frown lines between the eyebrows looks stressed (39%), old (36%) and even angry (24%) and many realizing their face looks older than they feel, few are taking action to learn about treatment options that have natural-looking results. Less than 40% of Americans said they would be comfortable talking about their interest in treatment with a healthcare specialist.
The survey also showed digital technology has transformed Americans’ perceptions of facial aging. More than 70% of respondents report the use of technology made them realize their face looks older than they feel. For many, these digital wake-up calls – seeing themselves in selfies (43%), tagged photos (33%) on social media or “Throwback Thursday” posts (33%) – make it hard to ignore their frown lines. Of the individuals polled in the Break the Ice survey, a majority (64%) have noticed frown lines between their eyebrows as they age, first seeing these lines on average at age 34.
Additionally, 77% reported noticing frown lines on others, such as their friends, family members and coworkers. A surprising 74% reported thinking about their face looking older one or more days a week. Men and women are more aware of their frown lines when they catch a glimpse of themselves in the mirror (70%) and get ready in the morning (56%). “Knowing that so many people worry every week about their frown lines between the eyebrows, but that so few are comfortable discussing treatment options – even with a healthcare specialist like myself – is unfortunate,” said Dr. Paul Jarrod Frank, a dermatologist in New York City. “No one should have frown lines that bother them when an injectable treatment option like Dysport® can provide natural-looking results.”
