IPL
For a healthy and youthful skin tone, consider IPL Lumecca, a potent intense pulsed light (IPL) treatment. This remarkable technique swiftly improves complexion and clarity by effectively targeting pigmented and vascular lesions. Lumecca uses photothermolysis for a comfortable and efficient light treatment, making it a top choice for addressing concerns such as age spots, spider veins, rosacea, freckles, and sun damage. Following treatment, you may experience temporary redness and darkening of pigmented spots, but this ultimately leads to an even skin tone.
With just one session, you can see a noticeable difference, and multiple sessions yield even better results. Keep in mind that individual outcomes may vary, and it’s essential to have any IPL treatment administered by an experienced, licensed professional for safe and effective treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Lumecca is the ultimate intense pulsed light (IPL) laser for addressing pigmented and vascular lesions, often referred to as a Photofacial. Just one session delivers remarkable improvements in skin complexion and clarity. It’s the go-to choice for combating red/brown spots, sun damage, freckles, age spots, Rosacea, and facial veins. Notably, a Harvard study revealed that IPL treatments can slow down the aging process within your skin cells.
Lumecca IPL treatments are suitable year-round. However, to maximize results, it’s important to avoid tanning, whether natural or artificial, for three weeks prior to your session, as the laser targets pigmentation.
IPL treatments affect cell DNA, slowing down the aging process, making them an excellent choice for all ages. With 2-3 sessions per year, Lumecca minimizes fine lines, wrinkles, and reduces pore size. This procedure is famously known as a PHOTOFACIAL, and it’s no wonder why celebrities choose it to achieve radiant, glowing skin before red carpet events.
- Fewer treatments required: 1-2 sessions compared to 6-8 with other IPL devices.
- Faster treatment time thanks to a high pulse repetition rate and a larger treatment area.
- Enhanced comfort with a cooling sapphire tip, eliminating the need for topical numbing.
- No downtime: Lumecca IPL doesn’t cause peeling or redness post-treatment; all that’s needed is sun protection for a couple of weeks afterward.
You can schedule a Lumecca treatment every 3-4 weeks for optimal results.
Lumecca can be applied to various body areas to achieve a clear complexion. Commonly treated areas include the face, neck, décolletage, and hands, as they are frequently exposed to the sun. However, it’s increasingly popular to target sun-damaged skin on the arms, legs, shoulders, bald heads, and backs.
