Frequently Asked Questions
Lumecca is the most powerful intense pulsed light (IPL) to treat pigmented and vascular lesions. After just one use, patients notice significant improvements in the complexion and clarity of the skin. Lumexxa operates using photothermolysis, which provides a photo facial through the delivery of a comfortable light.
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. This often includes the face, neck, décolletage, legs, hands and arms
During treatment there will be a bright flash of light from the Lumecca that feels like a light elastic sensations. Redness and a slight warming of the skin are normal after treatment and usually subsides within an hour. Over the next 24-48 hours you may see a darkening of pigmented spots; in the week afterwards, the pigmented lesions flake off, leading to an evening out of skin tone. After treating vascular lesions, you may seen the vein blanch and disappear or a color change in the vessel which dissipates after a few days.
Sun damage and skin complexion results can be seen a few days after the first session. The skin will continue to look younger and more brilliant over time with most visible results after 1-2 weeks. Having multiple photo facial sessions will improve the final result. For vascular treatments such as facial telangiectasia, results can be seen in up to 2 weeks.
In just 1-3 sessions Lumecca improves the appearance of:
> Age Spots (Red /Brown pigmentations)
> Vascular lesions such as facial telangiectasias (Spider veins) and poikiloderma
> Rosacea (Redness)
> Freckles
> Sun Damage
