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 and décolletage, legs, hands and arms. However, it is safe and effective on most parts of the body and face. In just 1-3 comfortable treatments, patients notice significant improvements in the complexion and clarity of their skin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most patients do not experience any side effects and any skin reaction usually resolves itself within a few hours. Patients may find they are sensitive to sunlight immediately after treatment. It is  recommended to avoid direct sunlight and tanning.

During the treatment, there will be a bright flash of light from the Lumecca that feels like a light elastic sensation. Redness and a slight warming of the skin are normal after the treatment and usually subside within an hour. Over the next 24-48 hours you may see a darkening of the pigmented spots; the weeks 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 colour change in the vessel which dissipates after a few days.

An improved skin appearance can be noted after the first session, however, a course of 3-6 treatments would be recommended for best results. The treatment regime depends on the severity of skin damage, skin type, type of treatment (vascular vs sun damage) and energy settings.

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 the most visible results are 1-2 weeks. Having multiple photo-facial sessions will improve the result. For vascular treatments such as spider or leg veins, results can be seen in up to 2 weeks.

Lumecca is one of the most powerful intense pulsed lights (IPL) to treat pigmented and vascular lesions. After just one use, patients notice significant improvements in their complexion and clarity of their skin. Lumecca operates using photothermolysis, which provides a photofacial through the delivery of a comfortable light treatment.
