WHAT IS LUMECCA?
Lumecca is the most powerful intense pulsed light (IPL) to treat common skin blemishes and irregularities. Lumecca operates using photothermolysis, which provides a photofacial through the delivery of a comfortable light treatment.
By selectively targeting affected areas, Lumecca is able to treat a range of skin issues ranging from skin pigmentation, vascular lesions, skin texture irregularities, sun damage to freckles.
WHAT AREAS CAN BE TREATED?
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, décollete, legs, hands and arms.
STEPS TO BE TAKEN BEFORE THE PROCEDURE? Avoid direct, excessive sun exposure or tanning one month prior
to treatment.
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING & AFTER TREATMENT?
During the treatment, you will see flashes of light that feels like elastic band snap on the skin. After the treatment, redness and a slight warm of the skin is normal and usually subside within an hour. After treating pigments, you may see darkening of pigmented spots, which will flake off in a week. After treating vascular lesions, you may see vein blanch and disappear or a color change in the vessel which dissipates after a few days.
HOW MANY SESSIONS ARE REQUIRED?
An improved skin appearance can be noted after the first session. Multiple sessions provide better results. Treatment regime depends on the severity of skin damage, skin type, type of treatment and energy settings.
