Lumecca
Lumecca is a cutting-edge form of intense pulse light (IPL) which is 3X more powerful than other IPL. With Lumecca’s capabilities patients can see significant improvement in hyper pigmentation and vascular lesions in just one session with optimal results typically being achieved in two sessions. In contrast, standard IPL requires 4-6 treatments to achieve similar results.

How Does Lumecca Work?
IPL technology works by targeting unwanted pigmentation in the skin due to scarring, age spots, sun damage, and vascular lesions. It is non-invasive and non-ablative meaning there is minimal discomfort and tissue damage. This makes Lumecca ideal for treating superficial skin pigmentation which lasers may be too harsh for.
With IPL, the melanin (pigmented cells) or hemoglobin (blood vessels) beneath the top layers of skin are targeted with light. This light is absorbed by the cells which breaks down their outer walls. Once this happens, the cells are then absorbed into the body leaving less cells and pigmentation at the treatment site.
Benefits of Lumecca
Lumecca has a variety of benefits that produce superior results compared to other IPL treatments, including:
3X more energy increases overall efficiency of treatment
Reduces treatment time with increased spot size and pulse frequency
Minimizes discomfort with a sapphire cooling tip
Noticeable results in just one session and complete photofacial rejuvenation in as little as two sessions
Uses of Lumecca
Lumecca preserves the top layer of skin while still effectively reaching hyperpigmentation in deep layers. This allows for minimal discomfort while achieving optimal results. In only one to two sessions patients can see significant reduction in a variety of skin concerns, including:
- Scarring
- Vascular lesions/spider veins
- Rosacea
- Sun spots
- Age spots
- Freckles
- Hormone related skin discoloration
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Birthmarks
How is Lumecca Different from Laser Treatment?
Lumecca differs from standard laser treatment which only uses a single light wavelength instead of a broad spectrum. This allows Lumecca to be more selective in which cells it targets. IPL is seen as a gentler form of laser treatment due to the fact that it does not disrupt the top most layers of skin.
It is important to note that while laser treatment is more aggressive, it can also produce more dramatic results. In some instances, a laser may be a better choice but discomfort and downtime after the procedure will be more significant.
Additionally, Lumecca differs from standard IPL by employing an advanced cooling tip for maximum comfort. Lumecca’s rapid pulse repetition and large spot area also make it more efficient than standard IPL.
Where Can Lumecca Be Used?
Lumecca is safe and gentle enough to be used on nearly any area of the body. However, it is most often used on the face, chest, hands, legs, and arms. Moreover, Lumecca can also be used on a variety of skin types and tones.
How Long will the Results of Lumecca Last?
Several factors can affect how long the effects of Lumecca can last including the condition of the skin, environmental factors, and the type of skin pigmentation that was treated. Most patients will experience noticeable results for at least 6 months.
It is recommended that patients receive maintenance treatment once every 12 months. These repeated treatments can keep the pigmentation away longer and create better results overall.
What to Expect During Lumecca Treatment
During your treatment, a technician will guide the handheld Lumecca device over the area of skin to be treated. The light coming from the device will create a warming sensation on the skin that most patients do not find uncomfortable.
Directly after the procedure your skin will likely be reddened and slightly warm to the touch. After this, the pigmentation may appear darker for up to 48 hours.
At that point, the skin will begin to flake off to reveal the improved skin underneath. Over the next week the full results will be revealed and overall skin tone will be evened out.
