How it works

Light that finds the pigment

Lumecca is a high-powered IPL device made for pigment and redness.

  1. 01

    Light

    A broad spectrum of light passes through the skin.

  2. 02

    Target

    Pigment and small blood vessels absorb the light and warm up.

  3. 03

    Surface

    Treated spots darken and rise to the surface.

  4. 04

    Clear

    They flake away over the following days, leaving a more even tone.

Your visit

Before, during and after

Before

During

A cooling gel is applied. Each pulse feels like a warm snap and takes only seconds.

After

Spots look darker for a few days before they fade. Wear sunscreen daily and avoid direct sun.
