Key Takeaways

• Lumecca IPL is an advanced light-based treatment that targets sun damage, pigmentation, and redness for brighter, more even skin.

• It works by using intense pulses of light to break down unwanted pigment and stimulate collagen.

• Results appear after 1–3 sessions, with minimal downtime, making it ideal for busy schedules.

• Best results are seen when performed by a qualified provider, like Jason at Apex Aesthetics & Wellness, who tailors the energy settings for your skin type and goals.

How does an IPL Photofacial work?

This next-generation treatment repairs skin with light therapy.

Your body then naturally clears away these damaged cells over time, leaving behind smoother, more even-toned skin.

Unlike traditional IPL devices, Lumecca delivers higher peak power and optimized wavelengths, meaning you’ll see visible results in fewer treatments. It’s one of the most efficient IPL systems available today, designed for clarity, comfort, and confidence.

What skin concerns can Lumecca IPL treat?

From sunspots to redness, Lumecca helps restore balance and brightness.

Lumecca is a versatile solution for a variety of common skin concerns, including:

• Sun damage and age spots

• Freckles or uneven pigmentation

• Facial redness and broken capillaries

• Rosacea

• Dull or uneven skin tone
  

It’s most effective on lighter to medium skin tones and can be used on the face, neck, chest, and hands, areas most exposed to the sun.

What can I expect during and after a treatment?

You’ll experience quick comfort and a natural recovery process.

Your provider will cleanse your skin and apply a cooling gel before delivering light pulses with the handheld Lumecca device. You’ll feel a mild snapping or warming sensation with each pulse, similar to a rubber band.

Most treatments take just 20–30 minutes, and you can return to your daily routine right after. Over the next few days, treated pigment may darken and naturally flake off, revealing a more radiant complexion beneath.

When will I see results from Lumecca IPL?

Brighter, smoother skin often appears within the first week.

You may notice improvements as soon as 7–10 days after your first session, especially in brightness and skin tone. For deeper pigment or redness, a series of 1–3 treatments spaced a few weeks apart will provide optimal results.

Even after your series, collagen stimulation continues for weeks, meaning your skin will continue to improve over time.

Is Lumecca IPL safe for all skin types?

It’s safe for most, but customization is key.

Lumecca is safe and effective for Fitzpatrick skin types I–IV (fair to medium complexions). Because IPL works by targeting pigment, those with darker skin tones require a personalized evaluation to minimize the risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation.

At Apex Aesthetics & Wellness, every treatment is customized by Jason, ensuring the correct wavelength, intensity, and protocol for your unique skin type and sensitivity.

How should I prepare and care for my skin before and after?

Preparation and protection make all the difference.

Before your treatment:

• Avoid tanning or direct sun exposure for 2 weeks.

• Pause retinoids, acids, and exfoliants 3–5 days before.

• Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin.

After your treatment:

• Expect mild warmth or redness for 24 hours.

• Avoid hot showers, saunas, or vigorous exercise for 1–2 days.

• Apply gentle moisturizer and daily SPF 30+.

• Pigmented spots may darken before flaking off naturally.

How soon should I book if I want glowing skin for the holidays?

Schedule your Lumecca IPL about a month before the event.

To ensure your skin looks its best by any big occasions, events or holidays, schedule your treatment 3–4 weeks in advance. This allows your skin to fully heal, renew, and reveal its brightest, most even tone, just in time for the celebrations.
