Why should you consider an IPL Photofacial?
If you have hyperpigmentation, sunspots, unwanted freckles, small spider veins or other vascular lesions that haven’t responded to topical creams and treatments, you need to check out Lumecca!
What is Lumecca?
Lumecca is the most powerful intense pulsed light (IPL) treatment on the market that treats 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?
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 telangiectasias)
- 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, décolletage, legs, hands, arms and tops of feet.
What Steps Must Be Taken Before The Procedure?
Avoid direct, excessive sun exposure or tanning one month prior to treatment, and for at least several weeks after treatment. No antibiotics or products that cause photosensitivity can be used for 14 days prior to Lumecca treatments.
What Should I Expect During and After Lumecca?
IPL photofacials can be spicy! Some patients prefer the use of topical numbing creams prior to their treatment. Redness and a slight warming of the skin are normal after treatment and usually subsides within an hour. Over the next 24-48 hours some areas of skin may become darkened or flaky; over the following week these pigmented lesions flake off, leaving behind lighter, more even skin. It is extremely important to protect recently treated skin from sun exposure.
How Many Sessions Are Required?
An improved skin appearance can be noted after the first session and multiple sessions provide even better results. Treatment regimes depend on the severity of skin damage, type of treatment (vascular vs sun damage) and energy settings chosen by your provider.
