Lumecca Peak IPL
Brighten skin & target discoloration.
What is Lumecca Peak IPL?
Lumecca is an intense pulsed light (IPL) treatment that targets pigment and vascular concerns — sun spots, age spots, redness, and broken capillaries. It delivers high peak power in fewer sessions than traditional IPL.
Brighten skin & target discoloration
Reduces sun damage & redness
Quick treatments w/ minimal downtime
Recovery
Minimal downtime. Redness can last hours to a couple of days. Treated brown spots typically darken, then flake over about 1–2 weeks.
Results
Pigment often crusts and sheds over 7–14 days. Existing FAQ notes a 2–3 session range.
Where Does Lumecca Peak IPL Treat?
How Does It Work?
Skin type and history are checked. The area is cleaned; chilled gel is applied; patient and provider wear protective eyewear. Pulses are placed with the cooled tip in contact. Sensation is often compared to a quick rubber-band snap.
Small facial areas often 15–20 minutes. Face plus neck and chest often 30–45 minutes.
