WHAT IS LUMECCA?

Lumecca is the most powerful intense pulsed light (IPL) to treat pigmented and vascular lesions.  Lumecca skin rejuvenation technology allows treatment of a variety of skin types and conditions with just a session or two, as opposed to the 4-6 treatments you might expect with other standard IPL devices. After just one use, patients notice significant improvements in the complexion and clarity of the skin. Lumecca operates using photothermolysis, which provides 

a photo facial through the delivery of a comfortable light treatment.


WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?

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

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

WHAT AREAS CAN BE TREATED?

Lumecca can be used on all areas of the body. The most common areas of treatment are zones that are regularly exposed to the sun.

This often includes the face, neck, décolletage, legs, hands and arms.   

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT DURING TREATMENT?

Patients typically report no discomfort during the treatment. This is partially due to the highly effective cooling of the treatment tip, which eliminates the sensation of heat during the pulses. During treatment you will be required to wear protective eyewear. There will be a bright flash of light from the Lumecca and a slight elastic sensation. Redness and a slight warming of the skin are normal


 HOW MUCH DOWNTIME CAN A PATIENT EXPECT AFTER TREATMENT?

 For the most part, patients don’t experience any side effects from Lumecca treatments. Sometimes there are mild skin reactions, but these usually resolve themselves within a few hours. Some patients find they’re sensitive to sunlight in the hours following the treatment. For this reason, it’s recommended to avoid direct sunlight, especially tanning.


The skin may appear reddish for maybe 30-60 minutes after the treatment. The dark spots will turn temporarily darker after a successful treatment, then flake off like coffee grounds within one or two weeks. In the meantime, a little foundation can cover up the skin for an even appearance. The final result is a luminous, clear skin tone that truly gives justice to the name “Lumecca”!


HOW MANY SESSIONS ARE REQUIRED?

An improved skin appearance can be noted after the first session. Multiple sessions provide even better results.  Treatment regime depends on the severity of skin damage, skin type, type of treatment (vascular vs sun damage) and energy settings.

HOW QUICKLY WILL I SEE RESULTS?

Sun damage and skin complexion results can be seen a few days after the first session.  The skin will continue to look younger and more brilliant over time with most visible results after 1-2 weeks. Having multiple photo facial sessions will improve the final result. For vascular treatments such as facial telangiectasias, results can be seen in up to 2 weeks.

ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS?

Most patients do not experience any side effects and any skin reaction usually resolves within a few hours.  Patients may find they are sensitive to sunlight immediately after treatment.  It is recommended to avoid direct sunlight and tanning.
