Why We Love Lumecca: Benefits

In just one to three sessions, Lumecca diminishes our patients’ most frustrating blemishes, including:

After intensive research into many devices and their manufacturers, Dr. George Peterson has chosen the most recent version of the Lumecca IPL device for our practice. Lumecca’s advanced technology surpasses other IPL treatment options in these ways:

  • It delivers three times more energy directly to discolorations than other IPL options. This power boost means that patients see significant improvements in the first treatment.
  • Additional power means fewer treatments. Where other photofacials require three to five treatments, Lumecca delivers significant photo rejuvenation in just two.
  • Large spot size means more area covered in less time and with fewer appointments.
  • Pulse frequency keeps surrounding tissue safe.

Age spots, sun spots and spider veins are common conditions here in Florida, but Lumecca IPL’s safe technology means you don’t have to tolerate them.

I would definitely recommend Lumecca. I like how it brightened my face and gave me a beautiful glow.

The Science Behind Lumecca IPL’s Power: Photothermolysis

The most powerful IPL photofacial available, Lumecca uses light (photo) and heat (thermo) to target and destroy (lysis) pigmentation that differs from the tissue surrounding it. During photothermolysis, light waves seek out the discoloration and the heat destroys it. The body eliminates the damaged tissue naturally. 

Lumecca IPL Is Most Commonly Used on These Areas

While Lumecca can be used safely on all areas of the body, it is most commonly used on zones that get the most sun exposure.

The Lumecca IPL experience

During a Lumecca treatment, you’ll put on protective glasses and lay back and relax while one of our trained practitioners uses the device on your skin. As the device delivers pulses of light, you may feel a warming or a snapping sensation, but treatment is rarely considered painful. The device we use has a cooling tip that helps to increase comfort throughout the treatment.

Treatment takes  20-30 minutes, and you can leave almost immediately. No downtime is needed.

Lumecca Results at keys med spa

Over the next day or two, pigmented spots will darken. They will rise to the surface of the skin and flake off. Veins treated with Lumecca will change color and disappear as the body eliminates them naturally.

Your complexion will continue to improve over the next few days. More youthful, glowing skin will replace the pigmented areas, with the most dramatic results appearing in one to two weeks. Repeating the treatment once or twice improves the complexion even more dramatically.

IPL recovery

Recovery is minimal after this rejuvenating treatment. Many patients return to work immediately and do not require time off for recovery.

Redness and skin sensitivity are two of the most common side effects. We often compare the sensations you’ll experience after IPL to the feeling of a light sunburn. This redness will take a few days to fade.
