lumecca Treatment (IPL Treatment)
Skin discoloration, redness, and dullness are not always a sign of aging. Sometimes, they’re a result of how your skin reacts to sunlight, stress, or hormonal changes. While some people might not have any problems with these things, some might want ti get rid of them as fast as they can!
That’s where Lumecca comes in. It’s one of the most powerful IPL systems designed to restore clarity, balance, and natural radiance to your skin. Instead of covering imperfections, it helps your skin reset itself from within. Most people notice visible improvement after just one session, though the best results appear after a short treatment series.
If you’ve been thinking about addressing pigmentation, sun damage, or rosacea, this could be the time to begin. Book your personalized consultation in the Serenity clinic and let your skin find its natural glow again.
What Is Lumecca (IPL)?
Lumecca is an advanced Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology used to treat uneven pigmentation, vascular lesions, and sun damage. It works by delivering high-intensity light pulses through a sapphire tip that gently warms the skin’s surface. These light pulses are absorbed by pigmented and vascular areas, causing them to fade over time as the body naturally eliminates the treated cells.
The system uses optimized wavelengths between 500–600 nm, a range proven in clinical research to be highly effective for brown and red pigment correction. It’s also designed with a strong cooling mechanism that keeps the skin comfortable throughout the session.
Unlike older IPL devices that often required multiple sessions to show mild results, Lumecca delivers more energy with each pulse. This means faster improvement, fewer total sessions, and visibly clearer skin after the first visit.
The treatment is safe, FDA-cleared, and suitable for both face and body areas such as the neck, chest, and hands.
Benefits of Lumecca
This type of face treatment goes beyond what most people expect from a light-based treatment. It improves both the appearance and function of the skin beneath the surface. Most clients notice their complexion looks brighter and clearer even after the first session. With a few treatments, long-term improvements become more visible as collagen and circulation continue to increase.
Below are the main benefits, both clinical and cosmetic.
Clinical Benefits
- Helps fade sun damage and age spots caused by UV exposure
- Reduces vascular lesions, spider veins, and rosacea-related redness
- Supports collagen production, improving firmness and elasticity
- Targets freckles, melasma, and uneven pigmentation
- Promotes healthier skin renewal by removing damaged cells
Cosmetic and Aesthetic Benefits
- Brightens dull or tired-looking skin
- Smooths out uneven texture and refines pores
- Gives the skin a natural, balanced glow
- Helps makeup sit better and enhances overall clarity
- Offers visible improvement with minimal downtime
What areas can be treated?
Lumecca can be used on all areas of the body. The most common areas of treatment are zones that are regularly exposed to the sun. This often includes the face, neck, décolletage, legs, hands and arms.
What steps must be taken before the procedure?
Avoid direct, excessive sun exposure or tanning one month prior to treatment.
Lumecca IPL treatment Process (Step-by-Step)
When you come to Serenity Clinic for your Lumecca session, everything starts with care and precision. We want you to know what’s happening at every step so you feel comfortable from beginning to end. Here’s how your session usually goes:
1-Consultation & Skin Assessment: We begin with a detailed consultation. We look at your skin closely, check for pigmentation, redness, or sensitivity, and decide whether Lumecca is the right choice for you. If it is, we build a personalized treatment plan based on your goals and skin type.
2-Pre-Treatment Preparation: Before we begin, we gently clean the area and make sure your skin is free from any products or oils. We give you protective eyewear and apply a cool gel to help the light glide smoothly and keep your skin comfortable during the session.
3-The Procedure: Once everything is ready, we place the handpiece against your skin and deliver short bursts of light. You might feel a quick warm snap with each pulse, similar to a light elastic flick. The whole process takes around 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of the area.
4-Post-Treatment & Immediate Care: When we finish, we clean the area again and apply a soothing product to calm the skin. You can go back to your normal day right after, but we’ll give you simple aftercare instructions to protect your results. Avoid strong sun exposure and always use sunscreen in the days that follow.
What should I expect during and after Lumecca?
During treatment there will be a bright flash of light from the Lumecca that feels like a light elastic sensation. Redness and a slight warming of the skin are normal after treatment and usually subsides within an hour. Over the next 24-48 hours you may see a darkening of pigmented spots; in the week afterwards the pigmented lesions flake off, leading to an evening out of skin tone. 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 noted after the first session. Multiple sessions provide even better results. Treatment regime depends on the severity of skin damage, skin type, type of treatment (vascular vs sun damage) and energy settings.
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. Having multiple photofacial sessions will improve the final result. For vascular treatments such as facial telangiectasias, results can be seen in up to 2 weeks.
Are there any side effects?
Most patients do not experience any side effects and any skin reaction usually resolves within a few hours. Patients may find they are sensitive to sunlight immediately after treatment. It is recommended to avoid direct sunlight and tanning.

Lumecca is a breakthrough intense pulsed light (IPL) that delivers up to 3X more energy in the 500-600 nm range to improve efficacy for vascular and pigmented lesions. It is optimized for clinicians to treat a variety of skin types and conditions with just a single session.

How many sessions will I need for Lumecca, and how far apart are they?
Most people get visible results in two to three sessions. Clinics usually space sessions about three to six weeks apart so the skin can renew between visits.
What will my skin look like right after treatment? Do dark spots get darker first?
Expect mild redness or warmth for a few hours. Brown spots often look darker for several days, then flake or fade over about one to two weeks as the skin clears. That darkening is a normal response.
Is Lumecca safe for darker skin tones?
It can be done with caution, but fair to medium tones are the safest range. Darker tones have a higher risk of post-inflammatory pigment changes, so settings and candidacy need careful assessment.
What should I avoid before and after treatment?
Before: avoid sun and tanning for at least two to six weeks, and pause strong actives like retinoids for several days before your session. After: protect the skin from sun, skip hot environments for forty-eight hours, and hold off on harsh exfoliants for five to seven days.
Which areas can be treated for IPL?
Common areas include the face, neck, chest, hands, arms, and legs. These zones see the most sun and respond well to IPL.
