What Is Lumecca IPL and How It Works
Lumecca is a next-generation IPL/photofacial treatment, delivering high-energy light pulses that target melanin and hemoglobin—breaking up pigmentation and vessel irregularities deep within the skin. The built-in sapphire cooling tip ensures comfort. Treated pigment darkens and flakes, while blood vessels collapse and fade—revealing clearer, refreshed skin in days. It’s more powerful than standard IPL, requiring fewer sessions and offering superior outcomes.
