About this Treatment

The Lumecca IPL therapy is a powerful and effective Intense Pulsed Light treatment that reduces and removes specific pigments in the skin, from redness and spider veins to discoloured patches.

At Beau Boutique we use it to treat and remove age spots, red / brown pigmentation, sun damage, vascular lesions, spider veins, rosacea, freckles and acne scarring. Lumecca can be used on all areas of the body, with most common areas of treatment including zones that are regularly exposed to the sun: face, neck, décolletage, legs, hands and arms.

Lumecca operates using photothermolysis, which provides a photofacial through the delivery of specific wavelengths of light to the skin.

The light interacts with the red and brown pigments (haemoglobin and melanin), which are absorbed and heated up to destroy the unwanted lesion. During Treatment there will be a bright flash of light from the lumecca handpiece that feels like a light elastic sensation. And, as the irregularities are targeted precisely, there is no damage caused to the surrounding skin or tissues.

Over the 24 – 48 hours after treatment you may see a darkening of pigmented spots; in the week afterwards the pigmented lesions flake off, leading to an evening out of skin tone.

After treating vascular lesions you may see the vein blanch and disappear or a colour change in the vessel which dissipates after a few days.

Frequently Asked Question

Who is suitable for the Lumecca IPL?

Lumecca IPL can be used on many parts of the face and body, and is often used to remove unwanted skin lesions and areas of discolouration, such as: age spots, spider / thread veins, facial redness (rosacea), freckles, melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Is Lumecca IPL safe?

Lumecca IPL is manufactured by InMode, and is one of the industry’s most trusted IPL devices available on the aesthetics market. Lightwaves are a natural source of energy that are effective for skin rejuvenation.

Is Lumecca IPL painful?

Lumecca IPL is not generally described as a painful treatment. Most patients report feeling a mild tingling while the procedure is being carried out, with a prickly sensation occurring when the light flashes.

Are there any side effects or risks?

Redness and a slight warming of the skin are normal after treatment and usually subsides within an hour.

What results can I expect?

We often recommend a series of treatment sessions within the course. Results may be seen after the first treatment, improving further as the course progresses. Typically, a significant reduction in the unwanted lesion will take around two weeks to develop.
