Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT IS LUMECCA?
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.
Lumecca operates using photothermolysis, which provides a photo facial through the delivery of a comfortable light treatment.
Why do I need IPL Treatments if I am getting Juvederm Ultra Plus, Restylane, Perlane or Belotero?
There is very significant clinical evidence of improved results when using IPL treatments before injections of dermal fillers.
The use of light pulses prior to dermal filler treatment has significantly more positive effects than just filler on its own.
This can be explained through increased blood flow in the area (and therefore more nutrients) with no downtime, whereas IPL alone on an area will not give you this immediate benefit.
Furthermore, IPL treatments on their own may cause purpura (discoloration), but these side effects are minimized when used in conjunction with SkinPen treatments.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?
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
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, décolletage, legs, hands and arms.
WHAT STEPS MUST BE TAKEN BEFORE THE PROCEDURE?
Avoid direct, excessive sun exposure or tanning one month prior to treatment.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT DURING AND AFTER LUMECCA?
During treatment, there will be a bright flash of light from Lumecca that feels like a light elastic sensation.
Redness and a slight warming of the skin are normal after treatment and usually subside 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 see the vein blanch and disappear or a color change in the vessel, which dissipates after a few days.
HOW MANY SESSIONS ARE REQUIRED?
An improvement in your skin’s appearance can be noted after the first session.
Multiple sessions provide even better results.
Your treatment regime depends on the severity of skin damage, skin type, type of treatment (vascular vs sun damage), and energy settings.
HOW QUICKLY WILL I SEE RESULTS?
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 telangiectasias, results can be seen in up to 2 weeks.
ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS?
Most patients do not experience any side effects. Any skin reaction you do experience usually resolves within a few hours.
Patients may find they are sensitive to sunlight immediately after treatment. It is recommended to avoid direct sunlight and tanning.
