LUMECCA IPL
SUPERIOR TO ALL OTHER IPL DEVICES ON THE MARKET.
Lumecca IPL is a safe, non-surgical treatment using the most powerful Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) device to treat common skin blemishes, vascular lesions and irregularities. One of the most effective means of restoring an even skin tone.
What is Lumecca IPL?
Lumecca is the most powerful intense pulsed light (IPL) to treat pigmented and vascular lesions. After use, patients notice significant improvements in the complexion and clarity of the skin. Lumecca operates using photo- thermolysis, 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)
-
Sun damage
-
Vascular lesions (spider veins, port wine stains, leg telangliectasias)
-
Rosacea (redness)
-
Freckles
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. These often include the face, neck, legs, hands and arms.
What should I expect during & after the treatment?
During treatment there will be a bright flash of light from the Lumecca that feels like a light elastic sensation. Redness and a slight warming of the skin are normal after treatment and usually subsides 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 dissapates after a few days.
How many sessions are required?
An improved skin appearance can be noted after the first session and multiple sessions provide even better results. Treatment regime’s depend on the severity of skin damage, type of treatment (vascular vs sun damage) and energy settings.
