Frequently Asked Questions
What can I expect during the treatment?
During a Lumecca treatment, you may feel a mild prickly or snapping sensation as the light is applied to the skin. You’ll also notice a bright flash of light during the procedure, which is completely normal. Afterward, it’s common to experience slight redness and a warming sensation in the treated area, which typically subsides within a few hours.
How should I prepare for Lumecca treatment?
To prepare for Lumecca, avoid direct sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanning products for at least two weeks prior to your appointment. It’s also important to discontinue the use of retinol, exfoliating products, or any skin treatments that could increase sensitivity. Your provider will give you detailed instructions to ensure your skin is ready for the session.
Is there any downtime after Lumecca?
Lumecca requires minimal downtime, making it a highly convenient option for individuals with busy schedules. Following your session, you may experience mild redness or a temporary darkening of pigmented areas, both of which are normal and indicate that the treatment is working. These effects are part of the skin’s natural healing process and typically fade within a few days. As your skin recovers, you’ll begin to notice a clearer, more radiant complexion, with continued improvements as the full results of the treatment develop.
What aftercare is needed?
After your treatment, it’s essential to protect your skin by avoiding direct sunlight and tanning for at least two weeks. Applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily is highly recommended to prevent new pigmentation issues and maintain your results. Your provider may also recommend a gentle skincare routine to support the healing process.
Is Lumecca safe for all skin types?
Lumecca is most effective for lighter skin tones, but its suitability ultimately depends on individual skin characteristics and specific concerns. During your personalized consultation, your provider will carefully assess your skin type and unique needs, taking into account factors such as pigmentation, sensitivity, and overall skin health. They will also discuss your treatment goals in detail and provide tailored recommendations to determine if Lumecca is the ideal solution for achieving your desired results. This thorough approach ensures the treatment is both safe and effective for you.
Can I combine Lumecca with other treatments?
Yes, Lumecca can be safely combined with other aesthetic treatments to enhance and maximize your results. For instance, it works beautifully alongside procedures that target skin texture or stimulate collagen production, offering a comprehensive approach to skin rejuvenation. During your consultation, your provider will evaluate your skin’s needs and create a customized treatment plan tailored to your unique concerns and goals, ensuring the best possible outcome.
Is Lumecca safe during pregnancy?
Lumecca is not recommended for individuals who are pregnant or breastfeeding, as safety is the top priority during these sensitive periods. It’s important to avoid any treatments that could pose unnecessary risks to you or your baby. If you’re looking to address skin concerns during this time, your provider can discuss alternative, gentle options that are safe and effective, ensuring your needs are met without compromising your well-being.
How will my skin look after the treatment?
It is likely that your skin will be red directly after the treatment. This usually subsides within an hour or so. Some swelling may be present for the first few hours, and rarely for the first day post treatment. Pigmentation patches tend to get darker in the 24 hours following the treatment, giving a ‘peppered’ appearance to the skin. In rare cases, some areas of hyperpigmentation may flake off but more often they will be absorbed into the body over a 7-10 day period. Occasionally when treating larger thread veins, some bruising may occur.
Does Lumecca IPL help with rosacea?
Yes, we frequently treat patients with rosacea and have seen significant improvements in most cases. Lumecca’s advanced IPL technology targets the vascular irregularities associated with rosacea, helping to reduce redness and improve overall skin clarity. Many patients report noticeable benefits after just a few sessions, making it an effective option for managing this condition.
When can I use my normal skincare after this treatment?
We recommend using no skincare products for the first day following the treatment. If your skin feels hot and red, you may use aloe vera or a soothing vitamin E gel. We encourage patients to let the skin settle by itself without applying any products that could potentially affect the skin’s integrity such as vitamin C, retinoids or AHAs for at least 48 hours, and suggest using a high factor sunscreen the day after treatment, such as our ALL DAY LONG SPF 50 moisturiser.
