What is Lumecca IPL Treatment?
Lumecca is an innovative IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatment that utilizes broad-spectrum light to rejuvenate the skin. IPL treatments, sometimes called photofacials, have been clinically proven to significantly correct hyperpigmentation and deliver noticeable cosmetic results.1 What sets Lumecca IPL apart from traditional IPL therapy is the high pulse repetition rate of the IPL device. By increasing the intensity while still maintaining the benefits of traditional IPL, Lumecca can deliver results in fewer sessions.

Your Lumecca IPL Procedure: What to Expect
Dr. Rowland and our team will ensure that you have everything you need to feel prepared for your treatment and comfortable during your Lumecca session.
Preparing For Lumecca IPL
Patients who are interested in Lumecca can begin with a consultation appointment with a comprehensive skin analysis. In addition to determining if Lumecca is right for you, this appointment is your opportunity to ask questions and learn more about your treatment options.
You may be advised to discontinue certain medications or skin care products, such as retinoids, in the week leading up to your Lumecca treatment. You should also avoid sun exposure before your treatment.
During Lumecca IPL Treatment
Lumecca sessions typically take between 30 and 60 minutes. The Lumecca device has a unique sapphire tip that creates a cooling sensation during treatment. Patients do not typically require numbing cream, although you may request it if you have sensitive skin.
Recovery After Lumecca IPL
There is minimal to no downtime after Lumecca IPL treatment. Some individuals may experience temporary redness or mild swelling, but these side effects typically subside within a few hours to a day. It is important to avoid sun exposure in the days after treatment. Dr. Rowland will give you detailed post-treatment instructions and she can also recommend products to optimize and maintain your results.
