Lumecca, the highly effective intense pulsed light (IPL) solution, is designed for effectively treating pigmented and vascular lesions. Users of Lumecca experience noticeable enhancements in skin complexion and clarity. By utilizing photo-thermolysis, Lumecca offers a comfortable photofacial treatment using advanced light technology.

During your Lumecca treatment, the Lumecca system will emit a bright light that creates a sensation similar to a gentle snap on the skin. The treated areas may temporarily darken over the next 24-48 hours and will eventually flake off after a week or two, revealing new, evenly-toned skin underneath.

Lumecca is a versatile treatment option that can be applied to various areas of the body. Our experienced providers commonly use Lumecca on the face, neck, arms, hands, chest, and legs. It's important to note that after the treatment, you might have temporary sun sensitivity. However, within a few days, most patients notice visible improvements, and the skin's condition continues to enhance with subsequent treatments.

IPL, or intense pulse light, is a technology similar to laser. Instead of a single wavelength of light as with a laser, IPL uses a bright light in front of which filters are placed which filter out most wavelengths except those taken up by pigment and blood vessels. The light energy penetrates just below the skin's surface, damaging either the melanin (skin pigment) or blood vessels. The body's natural skin repair mechanisms then remove the damaged tissue and produce a smoother skin appearance. IPL is good for pigment (age spots) and small blood vessels. The advantage to IPL systems is that downtime is usually very minimal. Patients may experience slight darkening of pigment before they lighten.
