Lumecca Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is a revolutionary skin rejuvenation treatment offered by many medspas. This advanced technology utilizes a broad spectrum of light to target specific areas of the skin, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, hyperpigmentation, and other imperfections.
During a Lumecca IPL session, the device emits intense pulses of light that penetrate the skin’s surface, stimulating the body’s natural healing response. This leads to the production of new collagen and elastin, which helps to improve skin texture and firmness. Additionally, Lumecca IPL can help to reduce the appearance of pores and redness, leaving the skin looking smoother and more youthful.
Benefits
- Activates collagen production
- Reverses the sun damage, freckles, age spots, and melasma
- Minimizes pore size and evens skin tone
- Reduces broken capillaries caused by rosacea and minor skin lesions


What's the Science Behind Lumecca Intense Pulsed Light?
Lumecca IPL is a cutting-edge technology that combines the principles of optics and dermatology to offer a comprehensive approach to skin rejuvenation. Here’s a breakdown of the science:
Photorejuvenation:
Lumecca IPL uses a broad spectrum of light that is selectively absorbed by melanin (the pigment in the skin) and hemoglobin (the red blood cells in blood vessels). This selective absorption causes the breakdown of pigmentation and vascular lesions, leading to a more even skin tone.
Collagen and Elastin Production:
The light energy also has anti-inflammatory properties, reducing the redness and swelling commonly associated with acne breakouts. This helps in faster healing and less scarring.
Targeted Treatment:
The varying wavelengths of light energy can be adjusted to target specific skin concerns, from sun damage to rosacea, allowing for a customized treatment plan.
Safety Measures:
Lumecca IPL comes with a built-in cooling mechanism that ensures the skin is protected from thermal damage, making the procedure both safe and comfortable.

FAQ
What is it?
The Lumecca IPL harnesses varying light energy wavelengths that target unwanted pigmentation deep in the skin to correct and eventually remove it. This light energy activates the body’s natural healing process, increasing collagen production and cell turnover to rejuvenate skin, reverse and remove sun and age spots and hyperpigmentation, and slough away the damaged cells from the skin’s surface.
How does it work?
During treatment, a hand-held device is used on the treatment area to target and treat existing damage. This device penetrates into the skin’s surface using pulses of light energy to correct damage deep in the skin and activate collagen production. With a built-in cooling function, treatment is safe and comfortable.
What can I expect?
After your IPL, your skin will look renewed and healthy. Continued results can be seen over the following weeks as new cells reproduce and underlying damage is healed and reversed. Age and dark spots diminish, fine lines and wrinkles are smoothed, and the tone becomes even and radiant.
Is it safe?
Lumecca IPL is 100% safe! This non-invasive procedure comfortably diminishes skin imperfections for a smooth, even complexion.
