This translates into more effective treatments with fewer overall sessions, saving you the time and money.
The treatment involves sending beams of light and heat into your skin tissue, which breaks up discoloration on your face by constricting facial veins close to the surface of the skin. Once the skin is heated, the treated area will rid itself of the unwanted cells while also boosting collagen production.

IPL Facial-Lumecca™ FAQs
Where can Lumecca™ be used ?
Lumecca is safe to be used all over the body, however, patients most often target areas of the skin that are regularly exposed to the sun. This includes the face, neck, chest, legs, hands, and arms.
Does a Lumecca™ treatment hurt?
Expect a bright flash of light during your Lumecca™ IPL treatment, and a sensation similar to a light rubber band snap. Redness and skin warmth are common afterward but typically diminish within an hour. The treatment is generally well-tolerated by most patients.
How much downtime will I have?
The usual length of time for the pigmentation on the face to gradually come to the surtace and either slough off or tade is approximately 2 weeks.
How long will I see my Lumecca™ results
The most significant changes typically noticed between 14 to 21 days post-treatment.
Remember that it took you years to develop that pigmentation on your skin , so Optimal results are achieved after completing 3-6 sessions. Skin enhancement continues for up to three months following the final treatment.
Do I need a consultation for an IPL treatment?
Yes. Our practice is to meet all of our clients in a face to face consultation to ensure that the treatment you request is the right one for you, your concerns and your skin type.
What can I expect after a Lumecca™ treatment?
After a Lumecca™ treatment, there's minimal recovery time. Most patients experience no side effects, with any skin reaction typically resolving within hours. However, sensitivity to sunlight may occur immediately after, so it's advised to avoid direct sunlight and tanning.
Are Lumecca™ results permanent?
Lumecca™ treatment provides permanent results, but the skin remains vulnerable to further sun damage. It's advisable to schedule 1-2 maintenance sessions per year after the initial treatment.
What is a Lumecca™ treatment like?
First, the treated area is cleansed. An intense light is applied in a series of gentle pulses over the treatment area. As the pulse of light is delivered, the sensation is similar to rubber band snap. This light penetrates the skin without harm and is absorbed by the abnormally dilated vessels or pigmentation. The heat causes damage to the vessel of lesion, prompting the body's healing process. After treatment, sunscreen is applied, and sensitive skin may benefit from a cool compress.
How much does Lumecca™ cost?
