Are you looking for a powerful skin rejuvenation treatment that is non-invasive and requires no downtime? Lumecca IPL therapy can improve multiple skin concerns. At Bennett & Bloom in Louisville, KY, renowned oculoplastic surgeon Dr. Anne P. Rowland offers Lumecca IPL to help patients achieve a more youthful, even-toned complexion.
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.
While each patient’s individual experience and results will vary, Lumecca offers many potential benefits. Among the many advantages of Lumecca IPL are:
Lumecca is versatile and can be customized to target specific skin issues, making it effective for individuals with a range of concerns, including2:
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.
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.
