Sun exposure can take a toll on your skin, leading to sunspots, uneven pigmentation, and premature aging. At Lux Aesthetics in Seattle, our team of cosmetic specialists offers Lumecca IPL photofacial to target and reverse these signs of sun damage, restoring a clearer, more even complexion. This advanced treatment uses intense pulsed light to break down unwanted pigmentation while stimulating collagen, leaving skin looking refreshed and rejuvenated.
How Does Lumecca IPL Reduce Sun Damage?
Lumecca IPL works by delivering pulses of broad-spectrum light that penetrate the skin, targeting melanin clusters responsible for dark spots and hyperpigmentation. The light energy heats and fragments excess pigment, which then rises to the skin’s surface and gradually flakes away over the course of a few days.
Unlike topical creams that can take months to show subtle improvement, Lumecca IPL produces noticeable results after just one treatment, making it an efficient solution for those looking to refresh their skin without invasive procedures.
In addition to fading brown spots, freckles, and sun damage, Lumecca IPL also helps reduce redness, broken capillaries, and rosacea, leaving your skin with a more even tone and healthier glow.
What to expect during a Lumecca IPL treatment
Your session at Lux Aesthetics begins with a skin assessment to determine if Lumecca IPL is the right option for your concerns. The treatment itself is quick and comfortable, typically lasting 20 to 30 minutes.
A cooling gel is applied to the skin before the IPL handpiece delivers precise pulses of light. You may feel a mild warming or snapping sensation, but anesthesia is not required.
How Many Treatments Are Needed?
The number of sessions varies based on the severity of pigmentation issues and your overall skin condition. While you may see dramatic improvement after just one session, a series of two to three treatments spaced four weeks apart is typically recommended for the best results.
At Lux Aesthetics, we tailor each IPL treatment plan to the individual, ensuring your skin receives the attention it needs for long-lasting clarity and radiance.
How to Maintain Your Results
Lumecca IPL helps erase years of sun damage, but protecting your skin post-treatment is key to maintaining your results. To extend the benefits of IPL photofacials:
- Wear SPF 30+ daily to prevent new pigmentation from forming
- Use high-quality skincare products designed to brighten and even skin tone
- Limit excessive sun exposure and wear protective clothing when outdoors
- Schedule periodic maintenance IPL treatments to keep skin looking fresh and youthful
