Lumecca FAQ

What is Lumecca?

How does Lumecca work?
Lumecca delivers powerful IPL energy to the skin, which penetrates deep into the dermis. The light energy is absorbed by pigmented cells and blood vessels, causing them to break down and be naturally eliminated by the body. This process results in a more even and rejuvenated skin tone.

What skin concerns can Lumecca address?
Lumecca can effectively treat a variety of skin concerns, including:

• Sun damage and age spots
• Freckles and pigmentation irregularities
• Vascular lesions, such as spider veins and rosacea

The number of treatments needed varies based on individual skin conditions and desired outcomes. Typically, 1-3 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart are recommended for optimal results.

What can I expect during a Lumecca treatment?
During the treatment, a handheld device is applied to the skin, delivering IPL energy pulses. You may feel a mild zapping sensation, similar to a rubber band being lightly flicked against the skin. The treatment is generally well-tolerated, and sessions usually last between 20-30 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area.

What are the common side effects of Lumecca?
Common side effects include temporary redness, mild swelling, and darkening of pigmented spots, which typically subside within a few days. It is normal for treated pigmented lesions to flake off or fade within 7-10 days.

Is there any downtime after a Lumecca treatment?
Lumecca has minimal downtime. You can resume most normal activities immediately after the treatment. However, it is important to follow post-treatment care instructions, such as avoiding direct sun exposure and using a high-SPF sunscreen.
