This treatment is commonly chosen by adults with sun spots, age spots, rosacea-related redness, or uneven skin tone who are appropriate candidates based on clinical assessment.

Safety Overview

Typical Results TImeline

Changes in skin tone may begin to appear within the first week, with progressive improvement typically developing over several weeks and across a series of treatments.

Lumecca may not be suitable for active skin infection or open wounds. A medical consultation is required to determine suitability. 

Lumecca IPL at Skin Vitality Medical

At Skin Vitality, Lumecca IPL is used to address visible pigmentation and redness related to sun damage or vascular changes. Our patients frequently ask about timing, and we typically see subtle improvements in skin tone within about a week, with further changes over several weeks as the skin responds. Temporary darkening of some spots and mild redness are common short‑term effects and are reviewed during consent so patients know what to expect. Session number and spacing are determined after assessing baseline sun damage, skin type, and treatment goals.
