Lumecca peak IPL

(Intense Pulsed Light)

Improve sun damage, age spots, freckles, rosacea, and other pigment issues.

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is a process that lightens sun damage, dark spots, hyperpigmentation, rosacea and small vascular lesions by emitting pulses of light which penetrate the skin and are absorbed by either the pigment or blood vessels depending on the setting used. The heat from the light destroys the target area, causing the skin to initiate a natural healing process that promotes new collagen and helps clear up skin imperfections.

IPL treatments are typically quick, with most sessions lasting around 20 minutes depending on the area. Recovery is minimal — you may notice some redness and swelling for a few hours to a couple of days. In the weeks following treatment, pigmented spots may darken and gradually flake off, revealing clearer, more even skin.

 FAQs

  • IPL is effective for treating a variety of skin conditions including sun damage, age spots, freckles, broken facial veins, rosacea, and birthmarks.

  • IPL treatments can cause a mild stinging sensation, often likened to the snap of a rubber band against the skin. Most devices have cooling mechanisms to help reduce discomfort during treatment.

  • There is minimal to no downtime required after IPL treatments. Some redness and swelling are common immediately following the procedure, but this usually subsides within a day. Most people can return to normal activities immediately. Avoid sun exposure for at least a week following treatment.

  • The number of IPL treatments needed varies based on the individual's skin condition and the area being treated. Generally, 3-6 sessions spaced about one month apart are typical to achieve optimal results.

  • During an IPL session, you will wear protective eyewear to shield your eyes from the bright flashes of light. A cooling gel is applied to the treatment area, and a handheld device is pressed against your skin to deliver light pulses. Each session usually lasts between 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.

  • IPL is generally safe when performed by a trained professional. However, like all treatments, there are risks involved, including pain, infection, pigment changes, scarring, and blistering. People with darker skin tones or those who tan easily are more prone to complications and should discuss potential risks with their provider.
