Lumecca is an advanced, non-invasive intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy designed to address various skin concerns, including pigmentation irregularities, redness, as well as signs of aging. By delivering high-intensity light pulses, Lumecca effectively targets and breaks down excess melanin and haemoglobin in the skin. This process stimulates the body's natural healing response, promoting increased collagen production and cellular regeneration. Over time, this leads to natural improvements in skin texture, skin tone, firmness, and elasticity, all without the need for surgery or downtime.

The procedure involves the use of a handheld device equipped with a powerful Xenon flash lamp that is equivalent to 500 nm to 600 nm and a sapphire cooling tip. During the treatment, the dedicated device emits rapid-fire pulses of light, ranging from 1.5 to 15 milliseconds, which penetrates the skin to target specific chromophores such as melanin and haemoglobin. By using Lumecca, the likelihood of achieving a successful outcome is around 40% compared to conventional IPL treatments, which typically offer results of only 10 to 15%. Lumecca’s long pulse is effective in improving facial redness, while its short pulse targets surface blemishes and potential blemishes deep within the skin. This precise targeting allows for effective treatment of conditions like pigmentation irregularities, redness, and signs of aging. The sapphire cooling tip enhances patient comfort by providing a cooling effect during the procedure.
