IPL involves sending beams of light and heat into your skin tissue, which breaks up discolouration on your face by constricting facial veins close to the surface of the skin. Once the skin is heated, the treated area will rid itself of the unwanted cells while also boosting collagen production. With increase collagen levels, your skin will become remodelled to make it look and feel stronger and healthier.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Lumecca IPL?

Lumecca  is a breakthrough intense pulsed light (IPL) that delivers up to 3X more energy in the 500-600 nm range to improve efficacy for vascular and pigmented lesions. It is optimized for clinicians to treat a variety of lesions with fewer sessions. For aesthetic purposes, it helps improve skin tone and decrease hyperpigmentation (dark spots) caused by sun and aging, rosacea and even acne. Following treatment, the overall look of the skin is more even and radiant.

What happens during my Lumecca IPL appointment?

First, the treated area is cleansed. An intense light is applied in a series of gentle pulses over the treatment area. When the pulse of light is delivered, the sensation is similar to a snap of a rubber band.

Without damaging the skin, the light penetrates through the skin and is absorbed by the abnormally dilated vessels or pigmentation. The heat causes damage to the vessel of lesion, and the body begins its natural healing process. Following the treatment, a sunscreen is applied. For sensitive skin, a cool compress is applied following the treatment.

Is Lumecca IPL painful?

During your Lumecca IPL treatment, there will be a bright flash of light from the Lumecca device which produces a sensation similar to that of a light rubber band snap. Redness and warming of the skin are normal after treatment, and usually subside within an hour. Most patients find the treatment to be quite tolerable.

When will I see results from Lumecca IPL?
