Lumecca is the most powerful intense pulsed light (IPL) to treat pigmented and vascular lesions on the market. After just one use, patients notice significant improvements in the complexion and clarity of the skin. Lumecca improves the appearance of age spots, sun damage, vascular lesions, rosacea, freckles and uneven skin tones..
The Lumecca IPL laser uses photo-thermolysis through the delivery of specific wavelengths of light which interact with red and brown pigments in the skin. These pigments absorb the light and are destroyed, often in one to two sessions.
Lumecca is suitable for anyone concerned with brightening uneven tones within the skin, specific forms of pigmentation such as freckles and photo-damage as well as fine vascular lesions and vessels. We can also treat acne bacteria using our Lumecca.

Lumecca requires the skin to be prepped for a minimum of 2 weeks on a gentle cleanser, pigment inhibitor, hydrator and SPF. Post-treatment requires the application of a nonocclusive gel prescribed by your therapist.
