Providing IPL Lumecca Treatment in Toronto & Newmarket

Offering IPL Lumecca treatment for sun damage & rosacea in Toronto & Newmarket, it is the most powerful Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) to treat pigmented and vascular lesions.

 

After use, patients notice significant improvements in the complexion and clarity of the skin. Lumecca operates using photo-thermolysis, which provides a photofacial through the delivery of a comfortable light treatment by converting the laser energy into high quality heat that penetrates deep into the dermis with 50% greater results than standard IPL.

Lumecca

In just 1-3 sessions Lumecca improves the appearance of:

  • Age spots (red/brown pigmentations)
  • Sun damage
  • Vascular lesions (spider veins, port wine stains, leg telangliectasias)
  • Rosacea (redness)
  • Freckles.

Lumecca can be used on all areas of the body. The most common areas of treatment are zones that are regularly exposed to the sun. These often include the face, neck, décolletage, legs, hands and arms.


What Steps Must Be Taken Before the Procedure?
Avoid direct, excessive sun exposure or tanning one month prior to treatment.

What Should I Expect During and After Lumecca?

Flow

skin are normal after treatment and usually subsides within an hour. Over the next 24-48 hours you may see a darkening of pigmented spots; in the week afterwards the pigmented lesions flake off, leading to an evening out of skin tone. After treating vascular lesions you may see the vein blanch and disappear or a colour change in the vessel which dissipates after a few days.


How Many Sessions Are Required?
An improved skin appearance can be noted after the first session and multiple sessions provide even better results. Treatment regimens depend on the severity of skin damage, type of treatment (vascular vs sun damage) and energy settings.

How Quickly Will I See Results?
Sun damage and skin complexion results can be seen a few days after the first session. The skin will continue to look younger and more brilliant over time with most visible results after 1-2 weeks. Having multiple photofacial sessions will improve the final result. For vascular treatments such as spider or leg veins, results can be seen in up to two weeks.


Are There Any Side Effects?

Most patients do not experience any side effects and any skin reactions are usually resolved with a few hours. Patients may find they are sensitive to sunlight immediately after treatment. It is recommended to avoid direct sunlight and tanning.
