Rid your skin of sun damage, age spots, and discoloration with a photo facial from Lumecca IPL.
Lumecca is a groundbreaking new device that uses scientifically proven intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy to break up pigmentation and vascular redness to give brighter, clearer skin.
How IPL Lumecca Works
The device works by using photothermolysis, which uses specific wavelengths of light to heat the skin tissue and destroy redness and other pigmentation without damaging the surrounding skin.
Lumecca is designed to treat a variety of pigmentation concerns with fewer sessions, and delivers up to 3X more energy than other IPL devices using light energy in the 500–600 nm range to improve discoloration in targeted areas.
Who is a Candidate for IPL Lumecca?
This specific treatment is ideal for those suffering from redness and hyperpigmentation caused by vascular lesions and other inflammation.
Lumecca can treat the following skin concerns: freckles, rosacea, post-inflammatory erythema, sun damage, age spots, spider veins, broken capillaries, poikiloderma of civatte, port-wine stains, telangiectasias, and dyschromia
The procedure can be completed on all areas of the body including: face, neck, legs, hands, and arms.
The Benefits of IPL Lumecca
Clinical studies have shown the proven effects of IPL phototherapy on pigmentation with successful results. Discoloration due to the sun, aging, and other skin conditions can be effectively targeted with IPL Lumecca. It can also target vascular irregularities in the blood vessels that show up on the skin’s surface, such as spider veins and broken capillaries.
Standard IPL devices take between 4–6 treatments to see an improvement. IPL Lumecca sets itself apart from other IPL devices by improving skin clarity and reducing pigmentation in just 2–3 treatments. Contact us today to book your consultation!
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I expect?
Direct sun exposure should be avoided for 2–4 weeks leading up to your treatment.
A bright flash of light from the device feels like a light elastic band popping on the area being treated during your session. Redness and a slight warming of the skin are normal and usually subside within an hour.
Thanks to Lumecca’s large applicator size and high pulse repetition rate, the device can cover larger areas faster. An IPL session with Lumecca can take as little as 20 minutes.
How often should I do an IPL Lumecca treatment?
A series of IPL Lumecca treatments usually involves between 2–5 sessions every 3–4 weeks.
The skin will continue to look younger and more brilliant over time, with the most visible results after 1–2 weeks.
How long does it take to see results?
Typically, patients see significant results in 1–2 weeks after their treatments, with a noticeable improvement in the treatment area after the first session.
Are the results permanent?
The results from IPL with Lumecca are permanent.
Does it hurt?
There is a mild popping sensation on the skin, but the Lumecca applicator has a special sapphire cooling tip to offset any discomfort after the area is being passed over.
Is there any aftercare?
The skin may be slightly red, feel warm after the session, and usually subsides within a few hours. There may be an initial darkening of treated spots over the following days, but within 1–2 weeks, these areas become clear and even. Moisturizer should be applied right after, and sunscreen should be worn for three weeks.
After treating vascular lesions, it’s normal for the vein to be a different color or even white. This disappears after a few days as the color returns to normal.
