What is Lumecca?
Intense Pulsed Light Therapy has been available for years, but nothing compares to Lumecca. Developed by InMode, Lumecca is a revolutionary technology that offers greater precision and power, delivering formidable outcomes in fewer sessions. This advanced IPL device delivers three times the energy of traditional machines in the 500-600nm range. Patients benefit from superior results with enhanced comfort and shorter treatment times, while practitioners can address a broader range of skin concerns. Lumecca truly delivers a win-win experience for both patients and practitioners!
What can Lumecca treat?
It’s popular for patients seeking non-invasive skin rejuvenation with minimal downtime. Lumecca delivers precise beams of heat and light into the skin, targeting and breaking up discoloration by constricting facial veins near the surface. This controlled heating triggers the body’s natural process of removing damaged cells while boosting collagen production. As collagen increases, your skin naturally remodels itself, becoming healthier, firmer, and more youthful-looking.
Lumecca is suitable for the face and body and treats numerous skin irregularities.
Some include:
- Aging spots
- Skin discoloration and hyperpigmentation
- Freckles
- Melasma
- Sun damage, including colored spots
- Acne scarring
- Vascular lesions, including “spider veins”
What can I expect during treatment?
During your comprehensive, no-obligation consultation, Dr. Burroughs will analyze your skin and determine if Lumecca suits your needs. If so, the dentist will apply a cool gel to the target area and use a handheld device to deliver warm flashes of laser on the affected area. A typical session takes about one hour, although it depends on the size and extent of the problem.
After treatment, you’ll feel slight tenderness similar to sunburn, but there’s no downtime. Avoiding direct sunlight and tanning for several weeks following your procedure is important. In just a few days, you’ll notice clearer, rejuvenated skin. Initially, brown spots may darken, which is a normal part of the process. These spots will flake off within a few days, revealing the fresh, clear skin underneath. Lumecca will help revitalize your skin throughout the year with a proper skincare routine.
You may need 4-6 sessions to achieve the desired outcomes. Our doctor will advise on this during your consultation. The number of treatments required depends on your skin, needs, and goals.
Is winter the best time to use Lumecca?
Whether Lumecca or any other IPL treatment, it’s best for your skin to be in its natural state. This means your skin should be free from summer glow and tan. During winter, sun exposure is minimal, reducing the risk of skin sensitivity and pigmentation issues after treatment. As your summer tan fades and your skin becomes lighter, mid to late winter offers the perfect opportunity for laser treatments to be more precise and effective.
