Before & After
Frequent Questions
What Areas Can Be Treated?
Lumecca can be used on all areas of the body. This often includes the face, neck, décolletage, legs, hands and arms.
What Steps Must Be Taken Prior To Treatment?
Avoid direct, excessive sun exposure or tanning one month prior to treatment. Use SPF 30 on your skin 2 weeks prior to the procedure.
What Should I Expect During and After Lumecca?
During treatment you will feel a light "elastic snap" sensation with a bright light coming from the device. During the procedure you will be required to wear protective eyewear that will be provided to you.
Immediately following the procedure, you may have some redness and warming of the skin. This usually subsides within an hour after your treatment. Over the next 24-48 hours you may see a darkening of pigmented spots; in the week afterwards, the pigmented lesions will flake off. After treating vascular lesions, you may see the vein blanch and disappear or a color change in the vessel which dissipates after a few days.
How Many Sessions Are Required?
An improved skin appearance can be noticed after the first session. Treatment regime depends on the severity of skin damage, skin type, type of treatment (vascular vs sun damage) and energy settings. In most cases, it is recommended to do 3-5 sessions every 4 weeks between each session for best results.
How Quickly Will I See Results?
Sun damage and skin complexion results can be seen a few days after the first session. The skin will continue to look younger and more brilliant over time with most visible results after 1-2 weeks.
Are There Any Side Effects?
Most patients do not experience any side effects. Redness of the skin usually resolves within a few hours post treatment. Patients may find they are sensitive to sunlight immediately after treatment. It is recommended to avoid direct sunlight, tanning, and to apply sunscreen.
