This place is an other world experience. I promise you won't regret it! I never understood the difference between MedSpas but after speaking with Dr. Patel and having her inject me... WOW! Wish I was more educated before about HOW important it is for the person injecting you to TRULY understand anatomy. Dr. Patel is SO knowledgeable and I truly appreciate that she continues to educate herself by attending seminars and getting certified for all kinds of things that will likely become "mainstream" in like 5 years. I'm okay with her being out of office when I need her for that reason, haha. She never pushes fillers or botox. On the other hand, she encourages you to take CARE of your skin and try anti-aging laser remedies (they offer so many types!). I'm literally never going anywhere else!

The Limelight IPL treatment uses advanced non-laser IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) technology. We gently deliver precise amounts of light energy to the area being treated. The light passes through the skin’s surface to help release stubborn sun spots, reduce blood flow to broken capillaries and stimulate collagen production. The new collagen softens the appearance of the skin, reducing the effects of aging such as enlarged pores, fine lines, and wrinkles. It is also extremely effective in treating redness and acne associated with rosacea.

We recommend getting a series of IPL treatments to deliver gradual improvements to your complexion. Every treatment will fade surface irregularities and spots. A series of treatments also allow for longer-lasting improvements.
Patients describe the procedure as feeling like little rubber band snaps. No numbing is required.
You may experience mild, temporary side effects, like redness, swelling, blisters, crusting, or bruising. These go away on their own in a few days. Your skin will be sun sensitive, and excessive sun exposure will affect the results of the procedure. You should also wear sunscreen to prevent issues, like redness and spots.
Improvements can usually be seen following your initial IPL treatment, but optimal results develop about one month after a full series of treatments is completed. It is common for your skin to see different responses following every treatment session. You should see gradual improvements in blotchiness, redness, sun spots, and age spots over time.
