What is Lumecca?

Lumecca is the most powerful intense pulsed light (IPL) to treat pigmented and vascular lesions. After use, patients notice significant improvements in the complexion and clarity of the skin. Lumecca operates using photothermolysis, which provides a photofacial through the delivery of a comfortable light treatment.

 

But How Does IPL Work?

When the skin is heated, your body gets rid of the unwanted cells, and that gets rid of the thing you’re being treated for. Unlike lasers, an IPL device sends out more than one wavelength of pulsating light. It can treat a range of skin conditions at the same time.

 

What to Expect?

During a Lumecca treatment, there will be bright flashes of light that will feel like an elastic band against your skin. It is normal to experience warming and redness during the first hour. During the first 1-2 days, the pigmented spots will become darker. During the first few weeks, the pigmented lesions peel off and skin tone begins to even out.

During the first few days after treating veins, you may notice the blood vessel blanch and disappear or possibly a color change in the blood vessel.

What are the Benefits of Lumecca?

In just 1-3 sessions Lumecca IPL improves the appearance of:

• Age spots (red/brown pigmentations)
• Vascular lesions such as facial telangiectasias (spider veins) and poikiloderma (sun aging)
• Rosacea (redness)
• Freckles
• Sun damage
