Lumecca intense pulsed light treatments are some of the most powerful and advanced options for reducing or eliminating the appearance of:
Lumecca IPL works by a process called selective photo-thermolysis. It targets brown and red pigments in the skin, providing light that the pigments transform into heat, which breaks them down. Your body can then absorb them. Lumecca is so effective that some people enjoy visible results after just one treatment.
It is also one of the safest systems for photo rejuvenation. Its unique design features a sapphire tip to offer cooling effects throughout the procedure, and the precise wavelengths keep most skin types and colors safe.
When you come to our consultation, we will examine your skin to see if you’re a good candidate for the procedure. We’ll also ask about your goals for the treatment and what other types of procedures you’ve tried in the past. If you use any skin care products, let us know what they are so we can ensure they don’t interfere with the process.
There’s not much preparation you have to do for the procedure, but we ask that you avoid direct sun exposure or tanning beds for a few weeks before your treatment session.
We will offer special glasses to protect your eyes throughout the procedure. We’ll also apply a cooling gel to the treatment areas and can offer topical anesthetics.
Once you’re comfortable, we’ll begin the session. The process involves passing a handheld device over the treatment areas, producing flashes of light and mild vibrations.
The procedure can last about an hour, depending on the number of areas we need to treat and how large these are.
There’s no downtime with the Lumecca IPL procedure, but we do need you to stay out of the sun for the next few days. You should also drink lots of water.
The brown and red spots on your skin will appear to be darker after the procedure, and that’s a good thing. They can remain like that for up to a week before they begin disappearing. Peeling is also normal.
You can apply cold compresses if you need to, and make sure to keep the treatment area clean. Wear sunscreen every day, even if it’s cloudy.
Your skin usually starts feeling normal again after a week or so.
All of these concerns are caused by pigmentation issues. Because Lumecca IPL targets specific pigments, it can destroy those that cause age spots, sun damage, and vascular lesions.
Lumecca IPL improves microcirculation, which helps with skin elasticity, narrows pores, and improves tissue metabolism. It can be an excellent option for acne, too, since it has bactericidal effects.
Lumecca IPL’s light pulses cause the melanin in the skin cells to break down, leading to the fading and disappearance of pigmentation issues.
The Lumecca IPL system is so effective because of its nozzle, which has a xenon lamp. This lamp increases the energy the device offers, speeding up the treatment process.
Lumecca IPL Photofacial delivers results faster than traditional IPL, meaning fewer sessions are typically required to achieve noticeable improvements. The technology uses advanced, high-precision wavelengths making treatments more effective for pigmentation, sun damage, and vascular lesions.
Yes, Lumecca is safer for a wider range of skin types thanks to its controlled energy delivery and customizable settings. This reduces the risk of unwanted side effects while enhancing result.
To ensure your comfort, a topical anesthetic is applied before the procedure. Clients often notice only a gentle warmth and mild pressure in the treatment area, making the experience highly tolerable.
Many patients see improvements after just one session, though a series of 4-6 treatments is typically recommended for optimal results. The exact number will depend on the skin concern being treated and your individual skin goals.
Lumecca IPL is safe for a broader range of skin tones than traditional IPL. However, it is best suited for lighter to medium skin types. A consultation with your provider will determine if you are an ideal candidate based on your skin tone, treatment area, and goals.
