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 photofacial through the delivery of acomfortable light treatment.
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
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.
During the treatment there will be a bright flash of light from Lumecca, and a senssation on your skin that feels like a light snap from an elastic band. Redness and a slight warming of the skin are normal adter treatment and usually subside with 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 tonee. 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.
How Many Sessions are Recommened?
An improved skin appearance can be noted after the first session. Multiple sessions provide even better results. Treatment regime depens on the severity of skin damage, skin type. type of treatment (vascular vs sun damage) and energy setting.
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.
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 photofacial sessions will improve the final result.
What Steps Must Be Taken Before The Procedure?
Avoid direct, excessive sun exposure or tanning one month prior to treatment. Please speak to your aesthetic provider to see if you are a candidate.
