Lumecca intense pulsed light treatments are some of the most powerful and advanced options for reducing or eliminating the appearance of:
Lumecca IPL works by a process called selective photo-thermolysis. It targets brown and red pigments in the skin, providing light that the pigments transform into heat, which breaks them down. Your body can then absorb them. Lumecca is so effective that some people enjoy visible results after just one treatment.
It is also one of the safest systems for photo rejuvenation. Its unique design features a sapphire tip to offer cooling effects throughout the procedure, and the precise wavelengths keep most skin types and colors safe.
Having blemish-free skin is a goal that most people have, but what if you struggle with age spots, sun damage, or vascular lesions?
At BWA Aesthetics, we are dedicated to providing the most innovative and effective treatments for all your aesthetic needs. One of the leading treatment options we offer for pigmentation and skin tone issues is Lumecca IPL.
Lumecca IPL is an intense pulsed light photo rejuvenation treatment that targets skin pigments and destroys them, letting you get the clearer and more even skin you want.
When you come to our consultation, we will examine your skin to see if you’re a good candidate for the procedure. We’ll also ask about your goals for the treatment and what other types of procedures you’ve tried in the past. If you use any skin care products, let us know what they are so we can ensure they don’t interfere with the process.
There’s not much preparation you have to do for the procedure, but we ask that you avoid direct sun exposure or tanning beds for a few weeks before your treatment session.
We will offer special glasses to protect your eyes throughout the procedure. We’ll also apply a cooling gel to the treatment areas and can offer topical anesthetics.
Once you’re comfortable, we’ll begin the session. The process involves passing a handheld device over the treatment areas, producing flashes of light and mild vibrations.
The procedure can last about an hour, depending on the number of areas we need to treat and how large these are.
There’s no downtime with the Lumecca IPL procedure, but we do need you to stay out of the sun for the next few days. You should also drink lots of water.
The brown and red spots on your skin will appear to be darker after the procedure, and that’s a good thing. They can remain like that for up to a week before they begin disappearing. Peeling is also normal.
You can apply cold compresses if you need to, and make sure to keep the treatment area clean. Wear sunscreen every day, even if it’s cloudy.
Your skin usually starts feeling normal again after a week or so.
Lumecca IPL is one of the most effective photo rejuvenation treatments for a number of reasons.
All of these concerns are caused by pigmentation issues. Because Lumecca IPL targets specific pigments, it can destroy those that cause age spots, sun damage, and vascular lesions.
Lumecca IPL improves microcirculation, which helps with skin elasticity, narrows pores, and improves tissue metabolism. It can be an excellent option for acne, too, since it has bactericidal effects.
Lumecca IPL’s light pulses cause the melanin in the skin cells to break down, leading to the fading and disappearance of pigmentation issues.
The Lumecca IPL system is so effective because of its nozzle, which has a xenon lamp. This lamp increases the energy the device offers, speeding up the treatment process.
Lumecca IPL is made to be faster than traditional IPL, making it more effective also. You don’t have to get as many sessions to see results.
Lumecca IPL is also safer for more skin types than traditional IPL because of the precise and varied available wavelengths.
You’ll receive a topical anesthetic, so you should feel no discomfort. Some people describe feeling some warmth in the treatment areas and a bit of pressure.
The number of sessions will depend on the type of condition you want to resolve. Most people only need one or two sessions to see excellent results.
Not all skin types are suitable, though the majority are. Keep in mind that if you have a tan, you’ll not be able to receive treatment. Your skin has to be free of active infections as well.
During our consultation, we will assess your skin to see if you’re a good candidate for the procedure. If you’re not, we have other treatments we can offer.
You don’t have to live with age spots and other pigmentation issues when there’s a treatment option as effective as Lumecca IPL.
By providing targeted and precise treatment, we can offer this option to more people than we could with traditional IPL treatments. Not only can more skin types and colors get treatment, but the results are also faster and require fewer sessions.
At BWA Aesthetics, we offer solutions to your aesthetic problems. Whether that means skin tone issues or pigmentation concerns, we offer reliable results. We are always upgrading our technologies and looking for ways of making our treatments more effective so that you can trust us with your skin care needs.
