Photofacial / IPL / Lumecca

If you are looking for a way to improve the overall tone and texture of your skin, reduce hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and fine lines, then a Photofacial / IPL / Lumecca treatment may be right for you. Here are some reasons why:

Non-invasive: Unlike some other skin rejuvenation treatments, a Photofacial / IPL / Lumecca treatment is non-invasive, meaning there are no incisions or injections required. This means less downtime and fewer risks associated with the procedure.

Effective: These treatments use intense pulsed light (IPL) to penetrate deep into the skin and stimulate collagen production, which can improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and sun damage.

Quick and convenient: A Photofacial / IPL / Lumecca treatment typically takes only 20-30 minutes, making it a quick and convenient option for those with busy schedules.

Safe for most skin types: These treatments are safe for most skin types, but it’s important to consult with a trained professional to determine if it’s right for you.

Long-lasting results: With regular treatments, you can enjoy long-lasting results, as the effects of IPL can continue to improve the appearance of your skin for several weeks after the procedure.

Overall, a Photofacial / IPL / Lumecca treatment is a safe and effective way to rejuvenate your skin and improve its overall appearance. Consult with a trained professional to determine if it’s right for you and to discuss your options.

What is Lumecca?

Lumecca is the most powerful intense pulsed light (IPL) to treat pigmented and vascular lesions. 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 areas can be treated?

Lumecca can be used on all areas of the body. The most common areas oftreatment are zones that are regularly exposed to the sun. This often includes the face, neck, décolletage, legs, hands and arms.

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 andmore 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.

What should I expect during and after Lumecca?

During treatment there will be a bright flash of light from the Lumecca that feels like a light elastic sensation. Redness and a slight warming of the skin are normal after treatment and usually subsideswithin an hour. Over the next 24-48 hours you may see a darkening of pigmented spots; in the week afterwards, the pigmented lesions flake off, leading to an evening out of skin tone. After treating vascular lesions, you may see the vein blanch and disappear or a color change in the vessel which dissipates after a few days.
