Lumecca IPL
Discover Lumecca IPL at MDI Medical Weight Loss and Aesthetics
At MDI Medical Weight Loss and Aesthetics, we understand that sun exposure, the natural aging process, and various factors can take a toll on your skin, leading to issues like discoloration, pigmentation irregularities, vascular skin lesions, and other concerns. If you’re seeking to achieve a radiant, even skin tone and a texture that glows with vitality, you may have explored various options, such as chemical peels. However, Lumecca IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatments set themselves apart as the most potent and effective solution available.
What Sets Lumecca IPL Apart?
Lumecca stands out from other treatments and IPL procedures due to its exceptional ability to attract pigment more effectively while requiring less energy. This translates to minimal discomfort and downtime, along with a reduced risk of potential skin damage.
Lumecca treatments are not only more efficient but also faster than other IPL devices, typically requiring only two treatments instead of the conventional five or six.
Moreover, the results are longer-lasting, providing you with smooth, clear, and refreshed skin that you can enjoy for the long term.
What Can Lumecca IPL Treat?
Lumecca IPL treatments have a wide range of applications, addressing several skin concerns, including:
- Freckles
- Vascular lesions
- Sun damage
- Age spots
- Hyperpigmentation
- Rosacea capillaries
- Broken blood vessels on the face
- Acne scars
How Does Lumecca Work?
Intense Pulsed Light, or IPL, is harnessed through a handheld device, allowing it to penetrate selectively into the deeper layers of pigmented skin. The targeted spots, lesions, or other pigmentation irregularities absorb the light, resulting in their destruction. This process leaves the skin smooth, evens out the texture, reduces acne, and resolves issues like rosacea and other irregularities.
The Lumecca IPL Treatment Process
During your Lumecca IPL treatment at MDI Medical Weight Loss and Aesthetics, we will begin by applying a cooling gel to your face and provide you with protective eyewear. The Lumecca handheld device is then passed over your skin, delivering IPL wavelengths into the deeper layers of your skin.
Patients often find the treatment to be relatively comfortable, with sensations likened to a gentle rubber band snap on the skin. The entire treatment typically takes about 20 minutes.
Benefits of Lumecca IPL
Lumecca IPL offers numerous advantages for patients with pigmentation concerns, including:
- Non-invasive treatment
- Suitable for both light and dark skin tones
- Enhanced comfort through a sapphire cooling tip
- Skin rejuvenation and revitalization
- Improved skin texture
- Evened skin tone
- Resolution of pigmentation concerns, including freckles, lesions, age spots, and more
Recovery Time and Results
After your Lumecca IPL treatment, you may experience mild itching, swelling, or redness, which some liken to a sunburn. However, these effects typically subside by the following day.
Once these side effects diminish, you can resume your regular activities, including applying makeup. Over time, you’ll notice the pigmented areas darkening, which is a normal part of the healing process. These areas will eventually raise and flake off, revealing the healthy new skin underneath. It’s important not to pick at these areas but allow them to naturally shed. As the new skin is unveiled, it will continue to improve, with final results appearing in 1-2 weeks.
While some patients may see results after just one treatment, others may require more sessions to achieve their desired outcomes. The number of treatments needed depends on your skin type, the severity of your skin damage, and the specific nature of your condition, whether it’s vascular or sun-damage related.
Upon completing your treatments, you can expect smoother, more radiant, and pigment-free skin. At MDI Medical Weight Loss and Aesthetics, we’re dedicated to helping you reveal the best version of your skin.
