NON-INVASIVE IPL TREATMENT

What is Lumecca IPL treatment?

Lumecca is an intense pulsed light therapy that makes use of high-powered light energy to target the sun spots and age spots. Since it uses higher light intensity, the treatment penetrates deeper into the skin, making it more effective in treating sun damage, age spots, and other skin pigmentations. It utilizes the restorative properties of photothermolysis to provide photo facials to patients through light therapy. It actively works to address the damage done to the skin by over-exposure to the sun or UV radiation and shows noticeable results almost instantly after the treatment. It treats vascular and pigmented lesions along with scarring and hyperpigmentation and minimizes the signs of aging throughout the body be it from hands, arms, legs, face, or decolletage.

What is the difference between Lumecca IPL treatment and traditional IPL treatment?

Lumecca makes use of high-powered light energy to deeply penetrate and treat various skin conditions like sun damage and age spots. It is the use of higher light intensity that makes the process so effective that the desired results can be achieved in fewer treatments and it has a shorter recovery time.

Traditional IPL treatment on the other hand makes use of lower-intensity light energy to treat various skin imperfections like sun damage and age spots by working on the surface. Unlike Lumecca IPL treatment, it does not penetrate on a deeper level. When compared to Lumecca treatment, traditional IPL treatment has a longer recovery period and it may lead to redness or swelling in the treated area.
