Due to intrinsic aging, from 20 onwards, a person loses one percent of the facial collagen from their skin each year. Due to sun damage and environmental damage, such as tobacco use and exposure to pollution, extrinsic aging occurs in addition to intrinsic aging.
Extrinsic aging is noticeable as thickening of the cornified layer, pre-cancerous changes such as lesions (actinic keratosis), freckle and sunspot formation, and excessive loss of collagen and elastin.
On their own or together, these processes give your skin the appearance of rough texture, uneven tone, brown patches, thinner skin, and fine and deep wrinkles. The goal of facial rejuvenation treatments is to improve your skin’s appearance by evening out your skin tone and any texture, decreasing sunspots, reducing redness, and minimizing both fine and deep wrinkles.
If you want to even out your skin tone, we recommend intense pulsed light (IPL). We have both the Cutera Xeo and Cynosure Starlux for IPL laser facial near you. Our signature IPL is the Limelight Laser Facial which uses the Cutera Limelight Handpiece to rejuvenate your skin in just 2–3 treatments. Moreover, our Cutera Xeo Laser Genesis procedure has gained popularity for achieving brighter, more uniform skin without any downtime.
Both the versatile Cutera Xeo and the Cynosure Starlux are capable of performing a variety of treatments. Besides IPL facial near you and Laser Genesis, we also use these exceptional devices to perform 1540 Fractional Resurfacing, Laser Vein Treatments, Laser Hair Removal, and Facial Vein Treatments.

Laser Genesis
This popular, no-downtime laser genesis procedure for skin revitalization decreases redness and pigment spots while improving skin texture and collagen buildup. With the help of a special pulsed laser, our Cutera Laser Genesis treatments stimulate the production of collagen and elastin in your skin by gently warming it and targeting the fine structures of your dermis. The laser generates collagen and elastin that reduce wrinkles, broken blood vessels, and fine lines around the lips.
This treatment effectively tightens, smooths, and tones the skin, reduces pore size, improves acne scars, and significantly reduces facial redness. This treatment can also address skin issues like rosacea, a common skin disorder that causes facial redness, flushing, dilated capillaries, and, occasionally, intermittent acne breakouts.
If you would like to address your skin concerns with this effective treatment, come on over to our medical spa in Cincinnati. We also offer other popular skin procedures like microneedling with PRP near you to help you meet your skin goals.
Lux 1540 Fractional Facial Resurfacing
Our Cynosure Lux 1540 treatment combines the potency of ablative lasers (that get rid of the top layer of the skin) with the safety of nonablative lasers (that deliver heat to a small portion of the skin). The Lux 1540 works by emitting thousands of tiny columns of energy to deeply penetrate your skin, causing micro-injuries that stimulate your body’s natural healing response as well as collagen production. It works well on the face, neck, chest, arms, and hands.
While you may need multiple treatments to see results, there is minimal redness or damage to the skin’s appearance immediately after the procedure, so it can be a good choice for those who need minimal recovery time.

Cynosure TempSure Envi
Our Cynosure TempSure Envi treatment is a gentle radiofrequency treatment that minimizes facial fine lines and wrinkles, tightens skin, and improves the appearance of cellulite. With the help of this advanced technology, we transmit heat deep into your skin to regenerate collagen and reduce the appearance of forehead wrinkles, frown lines, crow’s feet, and smile lines.
Facial Telangiectasia and Facial Redness
At Limelight Laser and Medical Spa, we have a range of lasers that safely treat facial telangiectasia (spider veins), facial redness (rosacea), and reddened scars. Laser therapy is minimally invasive and is generally the most effective treatment for facial telangiectasia and broken capillaries. It is often the treatment of choice for the face and neck but can also be used to treat other body parts.
We can also use our laser treatments to address diffuse facial redness or any reddened scars, and you should see visible results within 2–3 laser treatments.

PicoSure Facial Revitalization
Cynosure’s PicoSure® laser is the gold standard for removing tattoos, but this state-of-the-art laser is also incredible at treating fine wrinkles, melasma, hyperpigmentation, and acne scars. Known as a picosecond laser and the first of its kind, it generates picosecond pulses that results in better pigment fragmentation, thus being more efficient at pigment removal without any damage to surrounding tissue. PicoSure is also used for laser tattoo removal and treating age spots that are resistant to IPL.
PicoSure treatments are very fast, typically 10-15 minutes, and have virtually NO downtime – usually just redness for 1-3 hours. This laser also has minimal discomfort during treatment. Faster, effective, and less pain? Yes please!
Clear + Brilliant®
No matter how old you are, sun exposure, environmental conditions, and lifestyle can contribute to lackluster skin. Whether you want to prolong the younger look of your skin or address the early signs of aging, Clear + Brilliant® can help. It’s a gentle and effective non-ablative laser treatment designed to resurface your skin revealing a more youthful and radiant glow. It works by creating hundreds of thousands of microscopic treatment zones in the upper layers of the skin, which replaces damaged skin with healthy looking tissue and yields younger-looking skin. The treatment is affordable and if you have had other corrective laser treatments in the past, Clear + Brilliant may be a great way to protect the investment you have made in your skin by maintaining, extending, and helping to continually improve upon your results. The treatment takes about 30 minutes and a series of 3-6 treatments are recommended.

"Three For Me" Laser Treatments
As we age, our skin appears tired and not as radiant as it once was. This happens due to aging, sun exposure, environmental factors that affect the skin, and genetics. We can help you regain your lost radiance with the help of our signature treatment. During our “Three for Me” treatment, two treatments are done back-to-back during the same visit —IPL and Cynosure 1540 Fractional Facial Resurfacing.
This highly effective combination of treatments corrects three common skin concerns—fine wrinkles, sun damage, and facial veins and redness, all at once. This procedure not only saves you time but also yields very effective results.
