The Lumecca Advantage: Why It Outperforms Competitors

Not all IPL treatments are created equal. Lumecca is engineered to deliver a peak power 3 times higher than standard IPL devices. While traditional systems often require 4 to 6 sessions to see clear results, Lumecca achieves superior clearance of pigment and redness in just 1 to 2 treatments. By optimizing the light spectrum for maximum absorption by melanin and hemoglobin, we provide faster, more dramatic transformations for our patients.

Advanced Cooling & Safety

Lumecca features a sapphire cooling tip that significantly increases patient comfort and protects the skin during the procedure. This allows our medical team to use higher, more effective energy levels safely, ensuring even the most stubborn sunspots and spider veins are addressed without unnecessary downtime.

What Can Lumecca Treat?

  • Sun Damage: Fading brown spots, age spots, and freckles.
  • Rosacea & Redness: Calming chronic facial flushing.
  • Vascular Lesions: Treating spider veins and "broken" capillaries.
  • Post-Acne Redness: Evening out skin tone after breakouts.
  • Poikiloderma: Correcting sun damage on the neck and chest.
  • Overall Radiance: Providing a brighter, more youthful glow.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How many Lumecca sessions will I need?
Due to its high peak power, many patients see significant results after just one session. However, for complex pigment or vascular issues, 2-3 sessions are recommended for optimal clearance.
2. Does Lumecca IPL hurt?
Most patients describe the sensation as a light snap of a rubber band. The sapphire cooling tip makes the treatment much more comfortable than older IPL technologies.
3. What should I expect after the treatment?
Redness and a slight warming of the skin are normal immediately after. Over the next 24-48 hours, pigmented spots will darken (looking like "coffee grounds") and then naturally flake off within a week.
4. Is there any downtime?
Downtime is very minimal. You can return to work and daily activities immediately, though you must avoid direct sun exposure and wear SPF faithfully.
5. Can Lumecca be used on the body?
Yes! Lumecca is highly effective on the face, neck, décolleté, hands, arms, and legs—anywhere that has visible sun damage.
6. Who is a good candidate for Lumecca?
Lumecca is ideal for lighter skin tones (Fitzpatrick types I-IV) struggling with discoloration. A consultation is required for darker skin types to ensure the safest treatment protocol.
7. When will I see the final results?
Skin clarity and tone improvements are typically visible 1-2 weeks after the first treatment, with results continuing to improve over subsequent weeks.
8. Can I get Lumecca if I have a tan?
No. It is crucial to avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanning creams for at least 4 weeks prior to treatment to avoid the risk of burns.
9. How long do the results last?
Results are long-lasting, especially with proper sun protection. We recommend a maintenance session once or twice a year to manage new sun damage.
10. Can Lumecca be combined with other treatments?
Absolutely. It pairs perfectly with Morpheus8 for tightening or Dermal Fillers to address both color and volume in one rejuvenation plan.
