IPL, or intense pulsed light therapy, especially with devices like Lumecca, is indeed amazing and transformative. It’s a non-invasive treatment used for various skin concerns like sun damage, age spots, vascular lesions, and even unwanted hair.
One of the most impressive aspects is its ability to target specific pigments in the skin or hair follicles, delivering controlled pulses of light to break down pigment or damage hair follicles without harming surrounding tissues. This precision makes it highly effective and safe for different skin types.
Patients often experience noticeable improvements after just a few sessions, with smoother skin, reduced pigmentation, and improved overall complexion. Plus, there’s typically minimal downtime, so people can resume their daily activities almost immediately.
In just 1-3 sessions Lumecca improves the appearance of:
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.
Avoid direct, excessive sun exposure or tanning one month prior to treatment.
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.
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 subsides within 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.
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.
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 photofacial sessions will improve the final result. For vascular treatments such as spider or leg veins, results can be seen in up to 2 weeks.
