Treatment Areas
Lumecca can be applied anywhere it’s needed. Commonly treated areas include the face, neck, décolletage/chest, hands
and arms – regions that are often exposed to the sun and, therefore, prone to signs of aging and sun damage.
How Does Lumecca Compare to Other IPL Devices?
Light-based treatments are one of the most effective means of creating a more even skin tone. Though intense pulsed light is not a new technology, Lumecca takes it to a new level, offering significantly more power and efficiency than traditional IPL treatments.
Lumecca’s higher energy levels mean the targeted lesions absorb more light and react more strongly to the treatment. Many patients observe a significant reduction in their pigmentation or vascular concerns after a single session. As a result, Lumecca patients may only require one or two treatments compared to the four to six treatments that are commonly required with other IPL devices.
Lumecca also has a large spot size and high pulse repetition rate, which reduces individual treatment times. A strong built-in cooling system with a sapphire tip improves patient comfort during the procedure.
How Does A Lumecca IPL Treatment Work?
Lumecca IPL is a non-invasive medical aesthetic treatment used for various skin care applications, primarily targeting issues related to skin pigmentation, sun damage and vascular lesions. Here’s how Lumecca IPL works:
Selective Photothermolysis
Lumecca utilises a technology called selective photothermolysis. This means that specific wavelengths of light are used to target and heat specific chromophores (colour-absorbing molecules) in the skin without causing harm to surrounding tissues.
Collagen StimTargeting Pigmentationulation
Lumecca is often used to target pigmented lesions such as freckles, age spots, sun spots and melasma. The light energy is absorbed by the melanin (pigment) in these lesions, causing them to break apart and fade over time.
Collagen Stimulation
Lumecca IPL can stimulate collagen production in the skin. The controlled heat generated during the treatment triggers the body’s natural healing response, leading to increased collagen and elastin production. This can help improve skin texture, reduce fine lines and enhance overall skin quality.
Broad Spectrum Light
Lumecca IPL devices emit a broad spectrum of high-intensity light in various wavelengths. Unlike lasers, which emit a single, focused wavelength, IPL devices emit a range of wavelengths. This versatility allows Lumecca to treat a range of skin concerns.
Targeting Vascular Lesions
Lumecca can also be used for treating vascular lesions like spider veins, broken capillaries and rosacea. The light energy is absorbed by the haemoglobin in blood vessels, causing them to coagulate and be gradually absorbed by the body.
Could I Be A Candidate For Lumecca IPL?
Lumecca IPL is a versatile treatment that can address various skin concerns and improve overall skin tone and texture. It is essential to consult with the professionals at La Beauty Skin Nails & Body, Gold Coast, to determine if Lumecca IPL is suitable for your specific needs.
In general, ideal Lumecca candidates have light to medium skin tones and are seeking global skin rejuvenation or targeting isolated pigment or redness issues.
Before the treatment, a skincare professional will assess your skin and customise the Lumecca settings to target your specific concerns and skin type. This personalisation helps us deliver safe and effective treatments.
What Are the Steps of the Lumecca IPL Procedure?
Upon arriving at La Beauty Skin Nails & Body, Gold Coast, you’ll be warmly welcomed and prepared for your treatment. Our team will ensure you’re comfortable and informed about every step of the procedure.
Prior to the treatment, your provider will assess your skin and discuss the targeted areas. We will then cleanse your skin thoroughly to ensure it’s free of any makeup, skincare products and natural oils. You will put on protective eyewear to shield your eyes from the bright light of the device.
During the treatment, your provider will methodically move the Lumecca handpiece over the targeted areas. You will feel a sensation similar to a light snap or flick on your skin, accompanied by the device’s cooling touch. It is generally well-tolerated without numbing creams or anaesthesia.
The Lumecca IPL treatment typically takes just 30 minutes, making it a convenient choice for those with busy lifestyles.
What Is the Anticipated Downtime For Lumecca IPL?
Following your Lumecca IPL treatment, you may observe some redness and temporary darkening of pigmented spots, which will gradually flake off over two to three days. During this time, we recommend avoiding direct sunlight and heat-inducing activities to promote a smooth recovery.
For a day or two post-treatment, avoid using harsh skincare products, including exfoliants or acidic formulations. Opt for gentle, soothing products that are kind to your skin, and keep your skin well-hydrated both internally and externally. Drinking plenty of water and using a hydrating moisturiser will support the recovery process.
What Results Can I Expect From My Lumecca IPL Treatment?
Lumecca’s advanced IPL technology can deliver noticeable results, including:
-
-
- Reduction in vascular lesions like port wine stains, angiomas and more
- Reduction in pigmented lesions such as dyschromia, hyperpigmentation and freckles
- Improved skin texture and complexion
- Gradual, lasting improvements with ongoing sessions
- Increased overall skin vitality and radiance
-
Depending on the specific skin concern targeted and the severity of the issue, multiple Lumecca IPL sessions may be recommended. These sessions are typically spaced a few weeks apart.
