Protective eyewear goes on, then a layer of cooling gel so the light passes evenly into your skin.
The treatment
Light for spots & redness.
Lumecca uses pulses of light to target brown spots, sun damage & redness. Treated spots darken, then flake away over the next week, leaving a more even tone.
The method
Built on the science.
-
Assessed first
Every plan starts with a close look at your skin, your history & what you want to change, before any settings are chosen.
-
Below the surface
The light reaches the pigment & small vessels just under the surface, set for your skin tone & each area.
-
Built over time
Results build as treated pigment & redness clear, over the weeks after each session. Most people book a series of 3.
-
In experienced hands
Performed by trained providers who know these devices well, & who'll tell you if a treatment isn't right for you.

Does it hurt?
It depends on your pain threshold. Cooling gel goes on first, & most people describe each pulse as a quick, warm snap, like a light elastic band. The warmth settles soon after.
Why don't you offer it in summer?
IPL targets pigment, so it isn't safe on skin that's tanned or recently in the sun, & summer makes that hard to avoid. We treat from fall to spring, when your skin is at its natural tone.
How many sessions will I need?
Most people do a series of 3, 4 to 6 weeks apart. Deeper or more widespread concerns can take up to 6. We'll suggest a number at your consultation.
When will I see results?
Treated spots darken & flake off over the week after a session, so many people see a change early. Redness usually takes a few sessions to settle.
Why do my spots look darker after?
It's expected. The light draws the pigment up, so spots look darker for a few days before flaking away, usually within 3 to 7 days on the face & sometimes longer on the body.
How much downtime is there?
Very little. Expect mild redness & warmth for a few hours up to a day. The darker spots are visible until they flake, so plan around that if you have an event.
Is it safe for my skin tone?
Lumecca suits light to medium skin tones. It isn't recommended on darker or tanned skin, because the light targets pigment. Your patch test checks this before we treat.
How long do results last?
With daily SPF, results can last a year or more. Skin keeps aging & meeting the sun, so many people come back for one session a year.
