What is Lumecca® Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)?

Here is how Lumecca® Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) can help you

Known as Hollywood’s secret for an instant glow, Lumecca® IPL delivers up to 3 times more energy than other standard IPL devices. Lumecca IPL offers unparalleled results while improving skin tone and leaving you with radiant, glowing skin.

Lumecca IPL treatment uses technology that delivers precise wavelengths to the treatment area and destroys the unwanted pigmentations caused by age and sun damage—effectively leaving you with more radiance and an even skin tone.

Our experts get you the best results:

Before the procedure, our staff cleans the treatment area and applies a cool gel on the treatment spots to protect them from the heat emitted by the device. You will be asked to wear protective glasses to shield your eyes from the laser light.

Our expert then glides the Lumecca® Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) device over the skin, repetitively exposing the treatment area to the laser.

One month before treatment, it is advised to avoid direct, excessive sun exposure or tanning for the best results.

At La Vie, our experts evaluate your skin before recommending how many sessions you might need to achieve your skin goals. We offer Lumecca® IPL to treat a variety of cosmetic skin conditions. Book a beauty consult to know if you are a candidate for Lumecca® IPL.

Frequently Asked Questions

Wondering if Lumecca® IPL Facial is for you? Here are some of the frequently asked questions answered by our lead physician Dr. Lisa Smaldone.

Patients notice some redness and a slight skin warming right after the treatment, which subsides within an hour. Some have also noticed darkening of pigmentation spots 24-48 hours post-treatment, which flake off within a week – leaving them with a more even skin tone.
After treating vascular lesions, patients may see the vein blanch and disappear or a color change in the vessel, which dissipates after a few days.
Patients notice visible differences right after the first session. But the number of sessions required depends on the skin type, treatment area, severity of sun damage, age, and level of imperfections. Our expert will assess your skin on your first consult and design a customized treatment plan to give you the best results.
Results can be noticed 1-2 days after the first session. After 1-2 weeks, patients have seen more glowing, youthful skin.
Most patients do not experience side effects, and skin reaction usually resolves within a few hours. Patients may find they are sensitive to sunlight immediately after treatment. It is recommended to avoid direct sunlight and tanning and always wear sunscreen.
If you suffer from chronic health conditions, are pregnant, or are taking Accutane, consult a physician before getting a Lumecca® IPL facial. Ask our expert if you are a candidate for Lumecca® IPL facial by booking a skin consult.
