Do you find sunspots and skin imperfections bothersome? Do you want a more even, brighter complexion but are opposed to having surgery? Dynasty Dermatology can help you with Lumecca treatment in Pasadena, CA.

What Is Lumecca?

Lumecca is a breakthrough intense pulsed light (IPL) system that delivers up to 3X more energy than previous devices. The safe, powerful device improves skin tone by targeting vascular lesions (redness, dilated blood vessels, ruddy complexion, and rosacea) and pigmentation (brown spots from sun and aging).

Benefits of Lumecca

Utilizing cutting-edge technology, Lumecca delivers superior outcomes with fewer treatment sessions compared to alternative IPL devices. Many patients observe substantial enhancement following their initial treatment. In 1-3 treatments (as opposed to the 5+ treatments of other IPL devices), Lumecca improves the appearance of the skin by decreasing brown spots and also fine red blood vessels in rosacea and from sun damage and freckles.

Lumecca FAQs

What areas can be treated?

Any area of the skin that has had significant sun exposure: the face, neck, chest, hands and arms, even the legs and upper back.

What steps must be taken before the procedure?

Avoid direct, excessive sun exposure or tanning one month before treatment.

What should I expect during and after Lumecca?

To minimize discomfort, we use topical numbing cream applied 30 minutes before a Lumecca treatment in Pasadena, CA. You will wear special protection goggles during treatment; even with eyes closed, a bright flash of light from the Lumecca feels like a light, elastic sensation. Redness and a slight warming of the 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 similar to “coffee grounds” which gently flake off the week after treatment, leading to an even skin tone.

How many sessions are required?

An improved skin appearance can be noted after the first session. Multiple sessions provide even better results. The treatment regime depends on the severity of skin damage, skin type, type of treatment (vascular vs sun damage), and energy settings. Typically patients will schedule treatments 4-6 weeks apart until their desired level of improvement is achieved.

How quickly will I see the results?

The skin will continue to look younger and more brilliant over time, with the most visible results after 2-4 weeks. Having multiple photo-facial sessions will improve the final result. 

Are there any side effects?

Most patients do not experience any side effects and any skin reaction usually resolves within a few hours to a day. Patients may find they are sensitive to sunlight immediately after treatment. It is recommended to avoid direct sunlight and tanning and to use sunscreen to protect your investment.
