LimeLight Facial Treatment (IPL)

The LimeLight Facial is a non-invasive approach to skin revitalization and it is our IPL (intense pulse light) treatment. Using a special handheld device, Limelight (IPL) is applied to the affected area. The light will penetrate the outer layers of the skin and be absorbed by the target cell. Your body’s immune system will then cleanse the tissue and stimulate new cell growth. This new cell growth creates improved skin tone, texture, and appearance. This allows for a customizable treatment plan based on your skin type to target:

  • Brown spots and hyperpigmentation
  • Pigmented lesions
  • Vascular irregularities
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Sun damage

Most patients will see results within 2-4 treatments; this will include darkened spots flaking or falling off, a decrease in diffuse redness and an improvement in mottled complexion. Patients may experience a mild pinch or stinging sensation with the pulse of the light, but this will quickly diminish when the treatment ends.

Portland plastic surgeon Dr. Elisa Burgess will customize this treatment to suit your skin type and treatment goals. Most patients report minimal discomfort and downtime, and satisfying results with IPL Limelight. Multiple treatments of the IPL are recommended for optimal results–the exact number of treatments often depend on the specific area being treated.

YAG Laser Genesis

Laser Genesis is an innovative way to promote vibrant and healthy looking skin in both men and women. It has been shown to produce new collagen, reduce pore size, and smooth out fine lines and wrinkles. The treatment works by gently heating the upper dermis well below your skin’s surface. While you can expect to see a subtle response following each treatment, we recommend receiving 4-5 consistent treatments to see the best results.

As with any procedure, there are always risks. The staff at Burgess Plastic Surgery take special care to educate the patients on all the risk factors associated with IPL, Hair Reduction, and YAG Laser treatments. Following the pre-treatment and post-treatment instructions are the most important way to prevent excessive side effects and unnecessary damage.

YAG CoolGlide Laser

The Cutera CoolGlide Laser safely and effectively treats the tiny, superficial veins and the deeper blue leg veins in men and women of all skin tones. By delivering a pulse of light energy into the vessel, the blood within the vein coagulates, eventually destroying the vessel and redirecting the blood flow to veins deeper below the skin’s surface. The number of treatments necessary depend on the size, number and color of the vessels being targeted. Some patients experience a stinging sensation while the pulses are being delivered, however after the treatment, there is minimal to no discomfort.
