Lumecca IPL therapy is a very effective intense pulsed light treatment that reduces and removes signs of hyperpigmentation and vascular lesions in the skin. It treats redness and spider veins to post-acne hyperpigmentation and sun damage.
The difference between Lumecca IPL and traditional IPL Lumecca IPL is distinct from conventional IPL because it has a higher light intensity. With this higher concentration of light, Lumecca penetrate deeper into the skin’s walls, making it more effective at treating sun damage, acne scars, and even redness from rosacea. This is a preferred procedure by majority of patients because Lumecca requires fewer sessions and a shorter recovery period than traditional IPL.
Traditional IPL has been in the aesthetic world longer, it uses lower-intensity light energy. The lasers cannot reach as deeply into the skin’s layers, and patients usually require more than one session and have a longer recovery time.
How many Lumecca treatments will I need? You will likely notice a great difference in your skin after only one Lumecca treatment, with maximum results four to six weeks afterward. The sessions, we may recommend a series of sessions spaced four to six weeks apart.
Treatment times range from 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of the target area and the severity of the skin condition. The entire process of getting Lumecca at Allure Anti-Aging and Aesthetics is straightforward and time-effective, even for the busiest patients.

What the Lumecca Recovery Time?
A Lumecca IPL treatment has a significantly shorter recovery time than conventional lasers. You can expect the targeted area to be slightly darker and irritated immediately afterward, but these symptoms generally subside after about an hour. Slight swelling may occur, but will also resolve after one to three days. After that, you may notice dead skin cells sloughing off between five days to two weeks after your treatment. You must wear sunscreen outdoors at all times during this period, as the fresh, newly rejuvenated skin will be highly sensitive to the sun.
