LUMECCA IPL.

Lumecca FAQ

What is Lumecca?
Lumecca is an advanced intense pulsed light (IPL) treatment designed to improve the appearance of your skin by targeting pigmentation, vascular lesions, and other skin imperfections. It is known for its effectiveness in reducing sun damage, age spots, and rosacea.

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
  • Uneven skin tone and texture

Is Lumecca suitable for all skin types?
Lumecca is most effective for lighter skin types (Fitzpatrick types I-III). A consultation with our skincare experts is necessary to determine if Lumecca is the right treatment for your skin type and concerns.

How many Lumecca treatments are required?
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.

When will I see results from Lumecca?
Most patients notice an improvement in their skin's appearance within a few days after the first treatment, with continued improvement over the following weeks. Optimal results are usually seen after a series of treatments.

Can Lumecca be combined with other treatments?
Yes, Lumecca can be safely combined with other treatments, that we offer, to enhance overall skin rejuvenation. Consult with one of our nurses to create a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to your needs.

How should I prepare for a Lumecca treatment?
To prepare for a Lumecca treatment, avoid sun exposure and tanning (including self-tanners) for at least 2 weeks prior to the session. Discontinue the use of photosensitising medications or skincare products, such as retinoids and acids, as advised by your nurse.

What is the recommended aftercare for Lumecca treatments?
After the treatment, keep the treated area clean and moisturised. Avoid direct sun exposure and apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily to protect the skin. Refrain from using harsh skincare products and avoid activities that cause excessive heat or sweating for a few days.

How can I schedule a Lumecca treatment?
