Lumecca

Lumecca IPL utilises intense pulsed light to selectively address specific skin concerns by emitting flashes of broad-spectrum light during procedures. These flashes penetrate the skin and are absorbed by chromophores like melanin and haemoglobin. The light wavelengths are precisely adjusted to match the absorption peaks of these chromophores, ensuring that the energy primarily targets the intended structures. This targeted absorption results in a controlled temperature increase within pigmented cells or blood vessels, leading them to break down or coagulate.

The disruption of targeted cells initiates the body's natural healing mechanisms. For example, the breakdown of melanin gradually diminishes unwanted discoloration in pigmented lesions. Additionally, the thermal effect stimulates collagen production, a crucial protein for skin elasticity and firmness. This induction of collagen contributes to overall skin rejuvenation, improving texture and tone. Lumecca IPL's non-invasive nature and its ability to address various skin issues make it a preferred option for individuals seeking effective and efficient skin revitalisation.

Why Lumecca IPL?

Lumecca stands out as a pioneering Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology, surpassing competitors by delivering up to three times more energy. Its unmatched technology enables clinicians to address various skin types and conditions effectively, often requiring just a single session instead of the standard 4-6 sessions. Through selective photothermolysis, IPL clears, detoxifies, and rejuvenates the skin while treating imperfections. Lumecca is versatile and can be applied to all areas of the body.

Common treatment areas typically include those regularly exposed to the sun, such as the face, neck, décolletage, legs, hands, and arms.

Lumecca (IPL) is used to treat:

Age spots (red/brown pigmentation)
Vascular lesions such as spider veins
Rosacea
Freckles
Sun damage

What to expect

If you can spare 30 minutes, you have time for Lumecca. It's quick, effortless, and effective - everything we love.

During the treatment, you'll experience a bright flash of light, similar to a light elastic sensation. Immediately afterward, your skin may feel warm and appear slightly pinkish, while lesions might darken temporarily. This is completely normal; the warmth will fade within the next 24-48 hours, and any discoloration will notably improve over the following 5-7 days. Within the first 24-48 hours, pigmented spots may darken, followed by flaking off of pigmented lesions in the subsequent week, resulting in an even skin tone.

After treating vascular lesions, you might observe the vein blanching and disappearing or a color change in the vessel, which typically dissipates within a few days.

Benefits and Results

Skin Rejuvenation: Lumecca promotes the synthesis of collagen, a pivotal protein crucial for skin elasticity and firmness. This results in overall skin revitalization, refining texture, diminishing fine lines, and fostering a more youthful appearance.

Hyperpigmentation Correction: Targeted light energy addresses pigmented lesions like sunspots, age spots, and freckles. Lumecca's selective approach disintegrates surplus melanin, diminishing hyperpigmentation's visibility and fostering a more uniform skin tone.

Vascular Lesion Treatment: Lumecca effectively tackles vascular irregularities such as spider veins and redness by targeting hemoglobin in blood vessels. The treatment induces coagulation within the blood vessels, leading to their gradual elimination and an enhanced complexion.

Sun Damage Repair: For those grappling with sun-damaged skin, Lumecca aids in alleviating the consequences of prolonged sun exposure. It zeroes in on sunspots and other indicators of sun damage, contributing to a more youthful and healthier skin appearance.

Quick and Non-Invasive: Lumecca sessions are typically brief, lasting approximately 20-30 minutes each. The non-invasive procedure entails no incisions or injections, allowing patients to promptly resume their regular activities post-treatment.

Versatility: Lumecca's adaptability renders it suitable for addressing various skin concerns, encompassing pigmentation issues, vascular lesions, and overall skin tone enhancement. This versatility positions it as a comprehensive solution for individuals pursuing diverse aesthetic objectives.
