About LUMECCA™ SKIN REJUVENATION

Lumecca™ is an intense pulsed light (IPL) treatment used for a wide variety of skin conditions that helps improve skin tone and decrease hyperpigmentation. Ageing, sun spots, rosacea, vascular lesions, and even acne are some of the many skin problems Lumecca™ is designed to treat.  

The treatment involves sending beams of light and heat into your skin tissue, which breaks up discoloration on your face by constricting facial veins close to the surface of the skin. Once the skin is heated, the treated area will rid itself of the unwanted cells while also boosting collagen production. With increase collagen levels, your skin will become remodeled to make it look and feel stronger and healthier.

Where can Lumecca™ be used?

Lumecca™ is safe to be used all over the body, however, patients most often target areas of the skin that are regularly exposed to the sun. This includes the face, neck, chest, legs, hands, and arms.  

Lumecca™ is considered a photofacial, meaning it targets skin damage that is caused or exacerbated by the sun. Through intentional or unintentional tanning and exposure to UVA and UVB rays, photodamage will occur over time—resulting in sun spots, fine lines, and other skin irregularities like large pores. As we age, these problems can become more visible and may require aesthetic treatments.  

This treatment is safe for patients with skin types 1, 2 and 3. For lighter and darker skin types, you can rely on Lumecca‘s advanced technology to treat various skin areas and conditions with its wide range of wavelengths that adjust to you skin’s natural pigmentation better than traditional IPL. Our team of highly trained professionals will ensure that your treatment is performed safely and effectively.

How Does Lumecca™ work?

Lumecca treatments are safe, comfortable, and convenient. Using IPL technology, Lumecca delivers up to 3 times more energy in the 500-600 nm range which improves efficacy for pigmented and vascular lesions. This translates into more effective treatments with fewer overall sessions, saving you the time and money.  

During the treatment, a cool gel will be applied to the targeted area. The handheld device will then be moved across the skin, sending warm flashes of the laser to the affected area similar to the sensation of an elastic band lightly flicking the skin. Depending on the size of the problem zone, one session should take anywhere around an hour.  

Post-treatment, you may feel some slight tenderness similar to a sunburn, but no downtime is required. Most patients have reported little to no discomfort after their Lumecca treatment. Over the following 24-48 hours after your session, you may see a darkening of the pigmented spots. Over the course of about a week, these pigmented spots will flake off, leaving the skin underneath even and smooth. If a vascular lesion is treated in your session, you may see the vein blanch and disappear or a slight colour change in the vessel which will dissipate after the next few days. 

Many patients notice an immediate improvement in their skin after just one treatment, with optimal results typically seen after 4-6 weeks after the final session. Each treatment thereafter will take place as needed with 4-6 in-between each session.  

To be considered a good candidate for Lumecca you must: 

  • Be in good overall health. 
  • Not be pregnant. 
  • Not be taking Accutane. 
  • Not have an active tan, or have recently applied a sunless tanning cream.

When the pulse of light is delivered, the sensation is similar to a snap of a rubber band. Without damaging the skin, the light penetrates through the skin and is absorbed by the abnormally dilated vessels or pigmentation. The heat causes damage to the vessel of lesion, and the body begins its natural healing process. Following the treatment, a sunscreen is applied. For sensitive skin, a cool compress is applied following the treatment.
