What is Lumecca?
Lumecca is a very effective treatment for spider veins and pigmented lesions, which uses intense pulsed light (IPL) to improve the complexion and clarity of the skin. The process, which is called photothermolysis, is designed to be a very comfortable light treatment that deals with lesions and veins without damaging the skin in any way.
What are the Benefits?
Lumecca treatments are a great choice for people with a number of different skin issues. It is very effective at dealing with spider veins and pigmented lesions, but it can also be very beneficial for people that suffer from age spots, sun damage, freckles, and rosacea. If you are looking for a more even skin tone and you want to remove certain blemishes, Lumecca treatments may be ideal in your case. These treatments can be used on all different areas of the body, but it is most commonly used on areas that are subject to a lot of sun damage, like the face, neck, legs, arms, hands, and decolletage.
How Does the Treatment Work?
During your Lumecca treatment, your skin will be subjected to flashes of bright red light, and you may feel a slight elastic sensation. Following your treatment, you may notice that your skin is slightly red on the treated areas, and it may feel warm. However, this should fade after an hour or so. Over the next few days, you may notice that pigmented spots on your skin darken, but they will flake away after around a week and leave you with a nice, even skin tone. If you are using Lumecca treatments for spider veins, you will most likely notice that the veins branch out or change color before fading after a few days.
Before you start your treatment program, it is important that you avoid excessive exposure and tanning beds for at least a month. You need to take these same precautions once the treatment is over because sun damage can affect the results.
What About the Results?
In many cases, the results of Lumecca treatments for pigmented lesions can be seen almost immediately. Ideally, you should notice a difference after just a few days, and skin tone will continue to improve over the next few weeks. Spider veins will begin to fade after around two weeks. You will get the best results if you have repeated sessions over an extended period of time. However, it all depends on the unique case, as individual results can vary.
