LUMECCA
A large portion of the adult population may experience brown spots on their face, chest, hands or other parts of the body because of continued exposure to the sun. Pigmented areas may also arise due to aging. Lumecca is a superior IPL treatment compared to other devices as patients can expect to see results in 1-3 treatments compared to the standard 4-6 treatments.
Benefits of LUMECCA
Lumecca is an intense pulsed light treatment (IPL) targeted at pigmented and vascular lesions in order to improve the complexion and clarity of the skin. Lumecca uses photothermolysis in order to provide a photo facial. Lumecca can also be used to address rosacea and freckles
Let’s explore benefits in detail:
- Reduces the appearance of age spots, freckles, and sun damage.
- Improves skin texture and enhances your natural glow.
- Targets and treats vascular lesions like spider veins and rosacea.
- Quick, non-invasive treatment with minimal downtime.
- Suitable for areas like the face, neck, hands, and décolletage.
What to Expect
Before getting your Lumecca treatment it is essential to avoid sun exposure or tanning one month prior to treatment. Patients have described the Lumecca treatment as a light elastic sensation. Patients should expect a warming of the skin during treatment. This warming sensation typically subsides within an hour of the Lumecca treatment. The targeted areas typically darken in the following 24-48 hours after treatment. In the weeks afterwards, the pigmented lesions typically flake off, leaving an even skin tone.

Post treatment
At Radiant Aesthetics we take care of our client’s recovery and it is as serious for us as procedure. Patients can expect to see micro lesions on the skin for a few days after treatment so here is the aftercare guide to follow:
- Avoid Touching the Treated Area: Try not to touch or rub the treated areas for the first 24 hours to avoid irritation and infection.
- Avoid Sun Exposure: Protect your skin from direct sun exposure for at least 2 weeks following treatment. Wear broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to avoid hyperpigmentation.
- No Makeup for 24-48 Hours: Avoid applying makeup immediately after the procedure to allow the skin to heal. After 48 hours, you can apply makeup if your skin feels comfortable.
- Cool Compress: If you experience redness or swelling, apply a cool compress to soothe the skin.
