Lumecca - LASER IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)
Treatment of pigmented & vascular lesions
Aesthetic machines are specialized equipment used in aesthetic medicine clinics to offer a range of non-surgical treatments designed to improve the appearance of the skin and body.
Here are some of the common treatments offered by aesthetic machines:
- Skin rejuvenation: Use of lasers or radiofrequency to stimulate collagen production, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin texture and elasticity, and reduce pigmentation spots.
- Body contouring: Using techniques such as radiofrequency to firm the skin and improve the figure, and focused ultrasound to target specific areas of the body.
- Treatment of sun spots and redness: Use of IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) lasers to treat pigmentation spots, redness and visible blood vessels.
- Treatment of acne scars, scars and stretch marks: Using techniques such as microneedling or radiofrequency (RF) to improve the appearance of scars and stretch marks by stimulating cell regeneration and reducing pigmentation.
- Skin firming: Use of radiofrequency, ultrasound or laser to stimulate collagen and improve skin firmness and elasticity.
Lumecca - LASER IPL: What is it?
Lumecca is a skin treatment device using IPL technology: Intense Pulsed Light.
It is widely used in aesthetic dermatology to treat a variety of skin problems, including pigmentation spots, redness, visible blood vessels and to improve overall skin texture.
Lumecca uses high-intensity light pulses to target pigments and vascular structures in the skin. Here's how it works:
- Light energy: the device emits intense flashes of light that penetrate the superficial layers of the skin.
- Chromophore targeting: Light is absorbed by chromophores (such as melanin in pigmented spots and hemoglobin in visible blood vessels).
- Heating and destruction: light energy converted into heat destroys pigment cells or small blood vessels without damaging surrounding tissue.
- Regeneration: The process also stimulates collagen production, improving skin texture and firmness.
LUMECCA - IPL LASER: INDICATIONS
- Pigmentation spots: Reduction of sun spots, age spots and other forms of hyperpigmentation.
- Redness and rosacea: Reduces diffuse redness and treats broken capillaries.
- Skin texture: improves texture, reduces enlarged pores and stimulates collagen production.
- Skin rejuvenation: Treatment of signs of aging such as fine lines and skin irregularities.
Specific advantages of Lumecca
- Effectiveness: Lumecca is renowned for its power and speed of action, often requiring fewer sessions than other IPLs to achieve visible results.
- Comfort: Treatment is generally well tolerated, with little discomfort and minimal recovery time.
- Versatility: Can be used on various areas of the body, including face, neck, décolleté, arms and legs.
LUMECCA - LASER IPL: How a session works
- Consultation: Prior consultation with a professional is necessary to assess the skin and determine the appropriate treatment plan.
- Treatment: The professional applies a cooling gel to the skin before using the Lumecca device to deliver the light pulses.
- Post-treatment: After treatment, we recommend avoiding exposure to the sun and using soothing products and sun protection.
Possible side effects
- Redness: Slight temporary reddening of the skin after treatment.
- Sensitivity: Sensation of heat or tingling for a few hours following the session.
Number of sessions required
- Generally speaking, 1 to 3 sessions are required for visible, satisfactory results. The frequency of sessions is often spaced a few weeks apart.
- Maintenance: Maintenance sessions may be recommended every 6 to 12 months to maintain results.
Immediate and long-term effects
- Immediately after treatment, there may be some slight redness or swelling, which usually resolves within a few hours to a few days.
- In the long term, results continue to improve in the weeks following treatment, with clearer, smoother, younger-looking skin.
LUMECCA - LASER IPL: THE RESULTS
The Lumecca IPL is renowned for its fast, effective results in the treatment of various skin problems.
- Pigmentation spot reduction: After treatment, sun spots, age spots and other forms of hyperpigmentation gradually fade, with a noticeable improvement in skin tone evenness.
- Reduced redness and visible blood vessels: After treatment, there is a significant reduction in diffuse redness, broken blood vessels and signs of rosacea, resulting in a more even complexion and a reduction in rosacea symptoms.
- Improved skin texture: After treatment, skin texture becomes smoother, pores are less visible, and skin has a more refined, even appearance.
- Skin rejuvenation: fine wrinkles are reduced and the skin becomes firmer thanks to the stimulation of collagen production.
