What is Lumecca?
Lumecca is the most powerful intense pulsed light (IPL) to treat pigmented and vascular lesions. After just one use, patients notice significant improvements in the complexion and clarity of the skin. Lumecca operates using photothermolysis, which provides a photofacial through the delivery of a comfortable light treatment.
What are the benefits of Lumecca?
In just 1-3 sessions Lumecca improves the appearance of:
- Age spots (red/brown pigmentations)
- Vascular lesions such as facial telangiectasias (spider veins) and poikiloderma
- Rosacea (redness)
- Freckles
- Sun damage
What Areas Can Be Treated?
Lumecca can be used on all areas of the body. The most common areas of treatment are zones that are regularly exposed to the sun. This often includes the face, neck, décolletage, legs, hands and arms.
What Steps Must Be Taken Before the Lumecca Procedure?
Avoid direct, excessive sun exposure or tanning one month prior to treatment.
What Should I Expect During and After Lumecca?
During treatment there will be a bright flash of light from Lumecca, and a sensation on your skin that feels like a light snap from an elastic band. Redness and a slight warming of the skin are normal after treatment and usually subside within an hour. Over the next 24-48 hours you may see a darkening of pigmented spots; in the week afterwards the pigmented lesions flake off, leading to an evening out of skin tone. After treating vascular lesions you may see the vein blanch and disappear or a color change in the vessel which dissipates after a few days.
How Many Sessions Are Recommened?
An improved skin appearance can be noted after the first session. Multiple sessions provide even better results. Treatment regime depends on the severity of skin damage, skin type, type of treatment (vascular vs sun damage) and energy settings.
How Quickly Will I See Results From Lumecca?
Sun damage and skin complexion results can be seen a few days after the first session. The skin will continue to look younger and more brilliant over time with most visible results after 1-2 weeks. Having multiple photofacial sessions will improve the final result. For vascular treatments such as facial telangiectasias, results can be seen in up to 2 weeks.
Are There Any Side Effects?
Most patients do not experience any side effects and any skin reaction usually resolves within a few hours. Patients may find they are sensitive to sunlight immediately after treatment. It is recommended to avoid direct sunlight and tanning.
How Lumecca IPL Works
Skin imperfections like sun damage, redness, and age spots can affect your confidence. Lumecca IPL Photofacial is an advanced light-based treatment designed to improve your skin’s clarity and tone with minimal downtime. Th treatment delivers high-energy light pulses to the deeper layers of your skin. The light energy targets pigmented cells and vascular lesions, breaking them down naturally over time. It also stimulates collagen production, helping your skin become firmer and smoother.
This treatment is particularly effective for:
- Sun damage and age spots
- Freckles and pigmentation irregularities
- Rosacea and redness
- Small visible veins and capillaries
- Uneven skin tone and texture
Am I a Candidate for Lumecca IPL?
Lumecca IPL is suitable for individuals with light to medium skin tones who want to reduce pigmentation, redness, and signs of aging. You may be a good candidate if you have:
- Sun-damaged skin with visible brown spots
- Redness or broken capillaries from rosacea
- Freckles or uneven skin tone
- Fine lines and early signs of aging
However, if you have very dark skin, active acne, or melasma, Lumecca may not be the best treatment for you. During your consultation at ReDerm MD Medical Spa, our skincare experts will assess your skin and recommend the best treatment plan for your needs.
IPL Photofacial vs. Other Facial Treatments
Compared to traditional facials, chemical peels, or microdermabrasion, Lumecca IPL treats deeper skin concerns. While chemical peels focus on exfoliation and surface-level improvements, Lumecca targets pigmentation, redness, and vascular issues at a cellular level. It offers long-lasting results that go beyond surface rejuvenation.
If you are looking for a non-invasive yet highly effective way to restore skin clarity, Lumecca IPL provides visible improvements in fewer sessions than many other IPL treatments.
