LUMECCA IPL FAQs
-
Lumecca IPL leverages cutting-edge intense pulsed light technology to improve skin texture and address imperfections like pigmentation, sun spots, and vascular lesions.
By emitting short bursts of a broad spectrum of light that specifically targets melanin and blood vessels in the skin, Lumecca effectively reduces the appearance of discoloration and redness. The heat generated from the light energy not only helps in breaking down these pigments but also stimulates the natural production of collagen. This dual action not only fades unwanted blemishes but also promotes a smoother, more uniform skin texture, enhancing overall skin quality.

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is a versatile and non-invasive skin treatment that uses a broad spectrum of light to target a variety of skin issues, including pigmentation, sun damage, age spots, and vascular lesions like spider veins and rosacea.
Unlike traditional laser treatments that emit a single wavelength of light, IPL delivers multiple wavelengths, allowing it to address multiple concerns in the same session. This broad-spectrum light is absorbed by different pigments in the skin, such as melanin and hemoglobin, effectively diminishing the appearance of discoloration and redness while also stimulating the production of collagen for improved skin texture and firmness.
The IPL treatment process involves emitting short bursts of light that penetrate the skin and are absorbed by the target cells, leading to their destruction and subsequent removal by the body's natural processes. This not only helps in clearing up blemishes and imperfections but also promotes healthier, more radiant looking skin over time.
Each IPL session is relatively quick and can be customized to suit individual skin types and conditions, ensuring optimal safety and effectiveness. With minimal discomfort and no significant downtime, IPL is an excellent option for those looking to enhance their complexion with minimal interruption to their daily routines.

Post-treatment, patients may experience some immediate effects such as a mild redness or a warming sensation on the treated areas, akin to a light sunburn. These symptoms are typically transient, subsiding within a few hours to a day.
In the following days, particularly in cases of pigmented lesion treatment, the targeted areas may darken and then gradually fade or flake away, revealing clearer skin underneath. It's crucial for patients to follow post-care instructions, including avoiding direct sunlight and applying sunscreen, to aid the healing process and enhance the results.
The absence of significant downtime means most individuals can resume their normal activities almost immediately, making Lumecca a convenient option for skin rejuvenation.

Enhancing and extending the results of your Lumecca IPL treatment involves several key practices. Protecting the skin from UV exposure with high-SPF sunscreen before and after treatments is crucial, as sun exposure can reverse the benefits of IPL treatments.
Following a skincare routine tailored to your skin type and the specific concerns being treated can also support and extend the results of your treatment. This includes using products that promote hydration, repair, and protection.
Additionally, adopting a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet rich in antioxidants, adequate water intake, and regular exercise, can contribute to overall skin health and longevity of treatment results.
-
Each Lumecca IPL session is designed to be quick and efficient, typically lasting between 30 to 60 minutes. The length of your appointment will depend on the size of the area being treated and the specific conditions being addressed.
This makes Lumecca IPL an ideal treatment for those with busy schedules, seeking effective and efficient skin rejuvenation options. With minimal downtime required, patients can easily fit their Lumecca IPL treatments into their daily routines, enjoying the convenience and simplicity of the process alongside significant improvements in their skin's appearance.
WHAT CAN LUMECCA IPL TREAT?

As a first-time client we would have an in-person consultation to go over your treatment plan! We want to make sure that you receive the best treatment possible for your body ☺️
At that time you can fill out a medical history form for us, and we can talk about what your major concerns are, as well as pointing them out to us so we can be very clear about the best treatment possible for you - we also would be able to start your treatment same day if you would like to start Lumecca.
Before your Lumecca IPL appointment, it's essential to avoid direct sun exposure and tanning beds for at least 2 weeks to ensure your skin is in its natural state, minimizing the risk of adverse reactions.
Additionally, discontinue the use of any retinoids, exfoliating acids, or any products that might sensitize your skin a few days prior to your treatment.
This preparation helps in achieving the best possible results from your Lumecca IPL session and ensures your skin is primed and ready for treatment.

Preparing for your Lumecca IPL appointment involves keeping the treatment area clean and free of any makeup, creams, or lotions on the day of your session. It's also advisable to stay well-hydrated and maintain a healthy skin care routine leading up to your appointment.
