How can I reverse the signs of sun damage and ageing?
Calling all sun worshippers! We all know that UV rays cause sun damage and can lead to sunspots, dark spots, and age spots on the face, neck, chest and hands, which all contribute to the appearance of ageing. At LUXE Medical Spa and Laser, we can treat all sorts of sun damage and help create a routine to prevent future damage.
Our Lumecca IPL therapy system is the most advanced laser treatment on the market, offering 3x the power of other IPL systems and making it especially effective at treating skin pigmentation. Using our Lumecca IPL therapy, we can reduce the appearance of dark spots, as well as fine lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores and vascular lesions to leave your skin feeling soft, smooth, and glowing.
Studies have shown that light therapy photorejuvenation treatments such as the Lumecca laser not only remove sun-damaged cells from the skin but also fosters new collagen production in the skin. Collagen is the primary element responsible for skin elasticity helping you to look younger and more refreshed. Our Lumecca treatment will leave your skin more even-toned and glowing and it can also reduce the appearance of fine lines making your skin feel softer and younger.
What is IPL?
Intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy is a non-invasive and non-abrasive photorejuvenation treatment that uses high-intensity pulses of light to rejuvenate the skin and reverse common signs of aging.
IPL works a lot like laser therapy treatments, but uses multiple wavelengths, meaning it can treat larger areas in a shorter amount of time. The light pulses are absorbed by the brown and red areas of the skin and converted into energy that breaks down these pigmented cells. At the same time, this breakdown of the pigmented cells promotes the restoration of collagen in the skin.
Our Lumecca IPL system is the most advanced IPL on the market. The Lumecca IPL laser delivers 3x the energy of regular IPL treatment systems meaning with fewer treatments, you can achieve stunning results and leave your skin looking radiant instantly.
How does Lumecca IPL skin rejuvenation work?
IPL targets pigmented and damaged areas of the skin to remove the damaged cells in these areas, including dark spots (age spots or freckles), wrinkles around the mouth and eyes, and broken capillaries (causing redness, rosacea, and spider veins). The IPL laser works by heating up the cells in the area being treated and breaking them down. Your body’s natural healing process then absorbs the broken-down cells in the affected tissue area and allows for the re-growth of healthy tissue. At the same time, IPL therapy has the added benefit of stimulating the skin’s natural collagen production thereby improving the skin’s texture and leaving it visibly plumper and more youthful-looking.
Benefits of Lumecca IPL rejuvenation
Our Lumecca treatment uses intense pulsed light, which is a non-invasive alternative to other cosmetic age-reduction procedures. It is also non-abrasive, unlike conventional laser treatment, meaning clients see results almost immediately with no harsh redness or impacts to the skin.
Compared to other IPL therapies available, our Lumecca IPL therapy uses a higher power, multifrequency light pulse to deliver noticeable results. That means fewer overall treatments are needed to achieve the age-defying and skin-brightening results you’re looking for.
In addition, our Lumecca IPL device has a unique sapphire tip that cools the skin during the treatment, which means there is no skin irritation or need for topical numbing.
What areas of my body can I use Lumecca IPL on?
Even though Lumecca offers a stronger light pulse than other IPL devices, it is safe to use on even the most sensitive parts of the body. The most common areas that people seek treatment for are those that see the most sun: the face, neck, chest, and hands. However, Lumecca IPL is safe for any body part, so ask one of our highly-trained technicians during your consultation about how Lumecca IPL can help your problem areas.
What skin conditions can Lumecca IPL treat?
IPL therapy has been proven effective for treating a range of skin conditions, including:
Sun damage, sun spots and age spots
Uneven skin tone, birthmarks and other skin pigments
Skin dullness and lack of elasticity
Skin redness, vascular lesions, broken capillaries, small blood vessels, spider veins, rosacea
Acne and visible scars
Fine lines and wrinkles
Enlarged pores and in-grown hairs
Is IPL painful?
During your treatment, you will feel a slight sensation that many clients compare to a snapping elastic band. Because our Lumecca IPL technology works faster than other machines and is equipped with a sapphire tip that cools the skin as it works.
How many treatments will I need to see results?
Because our Lumecca IPL technology offers multiwavelength frequency and a higher intensity light pulse, many clients start to see results after their first treatment. For best results, subsequent treatments 4-6 weeks apart are recommended. The number of sessions you need depends on your current skin condition and degree of pigmentation.
Studies have shown that there are long-term benefits to IPL therapy. Each session increases collagen production in the skin. Studies have found that with 2-3 Lumecca treatments per year, age reversal was happening at the molecular level and changed the number of genes contributing to ageing. Long story short, after regular treatments, clients looked significantly younger.
