Intense Pulsed Light Therapy

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that uses broad-spectrum light to target various skin issues. Lumecca helps improve skin tone and texture by addressing concerns such as pigmentation, redness, and acne.

IPL therapy emits pulses of light that penetrate the skin's surface. The light is absorbed by specific targets in the skin, such as melanin (pigment) or hemoglobin (blood vessels), which helps to reduce pigmentation, redness, and other imperfections.

Lumecca IPL can treat a variety of skin concerns, including:

• Sun damage and age spots
• Redness and broken capillaries
• Acne and acne scars
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Uneven skin tone and texture

Most patients experience only minimal discomfort during the procedure. It is often described as a sensation similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin. Cooling gels and devices can be used to minimize discomfort.

The number of sessions required varies depending on the individual and the specific skin concern being treated. Typically, patients need between 3 to 6 sessions, spaced several weeks apart, to achieve optimal results.

Post-treatment effects may include slight redness, swelling, and a feeling similar to a mild sunburn. These symptoms usually subside within a few hours to a few days. It is important to avoid sun exposure and follow aftercare instructions provided.

Avoid sun exposure and use sunscreen in the weeks leading up to your treatment. You should also avoid using products that irritate the skin, such as retinoids or exfoliants, before your session. We will provide specific pre-treatment instructions.

Initial improvements can be seen within a few days, but full results may take several weeks to become evident. For optimal results, a treatment plan will be recommended during consultation and maintenance schedule.

IPL therapy is generally effective for a wide range of skin types and concerns, but it may not be suitable for very dark skin tones or certain conditions. During your complimentary consultation, we will assess your skin type and needs to determine if Lumecca IPL is right for you.
