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.
