Lumecca delivers intense pulses of light energy to the skin, which selectively targets and breaks down pigmented and vascular lesions. This process stimulates collagen production, leading to improved skin tone, texture, and overall radiance.

Lumecca is effective in treating sun spots, age spots, freckles, rosacea, spider veins, and other vascular and pigmented lesions. It also helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Most patients describe the sensation during Lumecca IPL as a mild stinging or snapping feeling, but discomfort is minimal. A topical numbing cream may be applied before treatment to enhance comfort.

A typical Lumecca IPL session can take anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area and the specific concerns being addressed.

Visible improvement can often be seen after just one treatment, but multiple sessions may be recommended for optimal results, usually spaced several weeks apart.

There is minimal downtime associated with Lumecca IPL. You may experience mild redness and slight swelling immediately after treatment, which typically resolves within a few hours to a day.

Lumecca IPL is suitable for individuals looking to improve skin tone, reduce pigmentation irregularities, diminish vascular lesions, and enhance overall skin texture. It is safe for most skin types.

Side effects are rare but may include temporary redness, swelling, or bruising at the treatment site. These effects typically resolve on their own within a few days.

Results from Lumecca IPL can last for several months to years, depending on individual skin conditions and maintenance routines. Sun protection and proper skincare are recommended to prolong results

• Avoid sun exposure for 3 to 4 weeks prior to treatment, or use at least an spf 30 or higher (making sure to reapply every 2 hours when in the sun).
• Do not apply self tanners or spray tans for 3 to 4 weeks before treatment.
• Avoid the use any retinol, retinol products, salicylic products, or exfoliation products 2 to 3 days prior to treatment.
• Notify the provider if you have any cosmetic tattooing on or near the area to be treated.
• If possible, please come to your appointment with the treatment area clean and without make-up or any cosmetic products.

• A mild sunburn-like sensation is expected. This usually lasts 2-24 hours but can persist up to 72 hours or more. Mild swelling and/or redness may accompany this, but it usually resolves in 2-3 days. Over-the-counter 100% aloe vera gel may ease redness or inflammation.
• Your brown and red spots will get darker for the first several days (up to 7) and then start to slough off. This is normal and desired.
• Minor crusting, peppering and/or peeling of the skin is a common side effect of this treatment. DO NOT pick at the treated areas, instead allow the peppering to shed naturally. In rare cases blistering may occur.
• Apply cold compresses or cold pack to the treated areas for 10-15 minutes every hour for the next few hours, only if needed (ie. very warm or painful like a sunburn).
• Keep the area clean. Wash gently and avoid aggressive scrubbing or use of exfoliants, scrub brushes (clarisonic), and loofa sponges until the sensitivity and colored of the treated area has returned to normal and the peppering has resolved.
• Avoid any direct sun exposure, including sunlamps and tanning beds, for 3 weeks after treatment.

• Please also protect the treated areas with a full spectrum sun block of 30 SPF or higher, used regularly between treatments and after the treatment course is completed.
• Most people require 2-5 treatment sessions
