What is Lumecca IPL and what concerns can it address?

Lumecca is an advanced Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment designed to improve skin clarity by targeting pigmentation and redness. It’s particularly effective for sun damage, age spots, facial thread veins, rosacea, and post-acne marks that create an uneven skin tone.

 

Lumecca works by delivering high-energy light that converts to heat, selectively breaking down excess pigment and sealing tiny blood vessels, with minimal downtime.

​

At The London Road Clinic in Newark, Lumecca IPL is performed by our experienced medical aesthetics team following a full skin consultation. Treatment is quick and well tolerated, with most clients returning to normal activities the same day. Many see visible improvement after just one session, although a course of two to three treatments is usually recommended for optimal, longer-lasting results.

Lumecca® IPL Skin Rejuvenation

Lumecca is a powerful IPL photofacial that uses high-intensity light to improve skin tone by targeting excess pigment and redness. It’s particularly effective for sun spots, facial thread veins, rosacea and post-acne marks, often delivering visible results in fewer sessions than traditional IPL. By selectively breaking down brown and red pigments, Lumecca helps restore a clearer, brighter and more even complexion over the weeks following treatment.

​

Treatment is quick with minimal downtime. Most clients experience only mild redness for a few hours, and pigmentation may darken briefly before flaking away within around a week. A course of three sessions is usually recommended for optimal results, although some concerns respond sooner. We tailor settings to your skin and goals, carry out patch testing where needed, and can combine Lumecca with complementary treatments for enhanced results.

Top Benefits

​

  1. Brightens and clears sun spots & pigmentation – Fades freckles, age spots and uneven pigmentation for a more uniform tone.

  2. Reduces redness and broken capillaries – Targets blood vessels to diminish rosacea flushing and spider veins.

  3. Fast, visible results – High peak power means many see improvement after just 1–2 sessions.

  4. Minimal downtime – Low-risk procedure with mild, short-lived redness; you can return to normal activities quickly.

  5. Boosts collagen for smoother skin – IPL’s warming effect can stimulate collagen remodeling, helping refine skin texture and acne scars over time

​

  • What it treats: Targets sun spots, freckles, uneven skin tone, redness from rosacea, broken capillaries and post-acne marks to visibly improve overall skin clarity.

  • How it works: High-intensity light selectively heats pigment and tiny blood vessels so dark spots shed and redness fades naturally over the following days to weeks.

  • Who it’s for / contraindications: Best suited to skin types I–III, with cautious use on type IV, and isn’t suitable for very dark skin, active tan, pregnancy, certain medications, or active skin infections.

  • Risks & side effects: Usually mild and temporary, including redness, warmth and darkening of pigment before it clears, with rarer risks minimised through expert settings and correct aftercare.

  • Downtime & aftercare: Downtime is minimal, with most clients back to normal the next day, provided sun exposure is avoided and gentle skincare and SPF are used.

  • When you’ll likely see results: Skin often looks brighter within days, pigmentation clears within 7–10 days, redness settles over 1–2 weeks, and results build further across a treatment course.
