Achieve a brighter, smoother, and more youthful glow

Lumecca IPL photofacial is a cutting-edge cosmetic procedure designed to address various skin concerns through intense pulsed light (IPL) technology. This non-invasive treatment targets pigmented and vascular lesions, including sun spots, age spots, freckles, rosacea, and visible blood vessels. Lumecca works by emitting multiple wavelengths of intense light energy onto the skin’s surface, selectively targeting melanin and hemoglobin, the pigments responsible for discoloration and vascular lesions.

The process begins with the IPL handpiece emitting precise pulses of light onto the targeted areas. The melanin and hemoglobin absorb the light energy, which is then converted into heat. This heat selectively destroys the unwanted pigmented or vascular lesions while leaving surrounding skin and tissue unharmed. Additionally, Lumecca’s advanced cooling technology ensures patient comfort throughout the procedure. Over time, the body’s natural healing process removes the damaged tissue, revealing clearer, smoother, and more evenly toned skin.

Lumecca IPL photofacial can treat the following:

  • Sun damage
  • Age spots
  • Freckles
  • Rosacea
  • Vascular lesions
  • Visible blood vessels
  • Pigmented lesions
  • Uneven skin tone
  • Skin laxity
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Overall skin texture and quality issues

You can typically resume your daily activities immediately after the treatment.

How many Lumecca IPL photofacial sessions will I need to see results?

The number of Lumecca IPL photofacial sessions needed to achieve optimal results depends on individual skin concerns and treatment goals.
