Clear & Radiant Skin With IPL
WHAT IS LUMECCA IPL?
Lumecca is a very powerful intense pulsed light (IPL) that treats pigmented and vascular lesions. After just one use, you will notice significant improvement in the complexion and clarity of your skin. Lumecca operates using photothermolysis, which delivers a comfortable and effective light treatment.HOW DOES LUMECCAA IPL Therapy WORK?
Standard IPL treatments, also called photofacials, work by delivering pulses of intense light energy to targeted areas in a similar way to laser skin treatments. Pigmented areas absorb the light energy, breaking up the discoloration. Lumecca IPL takes this concept to another level by delivering up to 3 times more energy than standard IPL treatments. This makes it especially effective for treating vascular and pigmented lesions, producing optimal results in fewer sessions.

Pre & Post Care Instructions
Before Your Treatment:
- Avoid any tanning for 6 weeks prior to treatment. This includes any form of self-tanners.
- Do not use any retinol products (or products containing tretinoin) or exfoliants on the area to be treated for one week. Avoid Accutane (or isotretinoin products) for 6 months prior.
- Let you skin practitioner know if you have a history of hyperpigmentation.
- Photosensitizing medications including doxycycline and minocycline should be discontinued three days prior to the treatment.
- Anticipate a social “downtime” of 2-3 days before any redness, swelling and sloughing of the sunspots has subsided.
- If applicable, please come clean-shaven in the areas to be treated (this usually means the face and neck).
After Your Treatment:
- You may have a mild sunburn (burning) sensation following the treatment that is usually gone within a few hours. Skin redness is normal and may last a few days.
- There may be a slight amount of swelling.
- Crusting or blistering is uncommon and not serious. Pigmented areas may begin to flake after a few days.
- Cold compresses may be useful for the first 24 hours.
- Your skin will be fragile for 2-3 days. Use gentle cleansers, do not rub the skin, and avoid hot water during this time.
- Do not use any retinoids, tretinoins, alpha or beta hydroxy products, vitamin C products, scrub, exfoliate, or have chemical peels performed on the areas treated area for one week.
- Makeup can be applied immediately if the skin is not broken. We recommend mineral based makeup.
- Avoid the sun and use sun block.
- Sun spots and age spots will DARKEN with the treatments BEFORE they begin to respond and resolve. This is expected and a normal part of the process. Do not pick, scrub and exfoliate these spots. Allow them to shed on their own.
