In detail
Lumecca is intense pulsed light aimed at pigment and vascular concerns: age spots, sun damage, rosacea, broken capillaries and uneven tone. A handheld device emits pulses of light that penetrate the skin and trigger the body's own healing response.
It is the most advanced IPL platform available, safe across skin types when properly assessed, and customisable to the face, neck, chest and hands. Treatment itself takes under thirty minutes; allow additional time for preparation and aftercare.
Results & timeline
Many clients see visible change after a single treatment. Typically three to six sessions spaced three to four weeks apart achieve the full result, and the light energy also supports collagen, which softens fine lines over time.
Investment
Courses and combined plans are quoted at consultation, and can be spread over monthly instalments. Prices shown are per session.

Aftercare
Avoid direct sun and wear SPF 30 or higher.
No exfoliants or harsh skincare for 48 hours.
No hot tubs, saunas or steam rooms for 24 hours.
Keep the area clean; do not rub or pick as pigment darkens and lifts.
Gentle moisturiser as needed; a cold compress for any discomfort.
Written aftercare goes home with you, and we are on the phone if anything feels unexpected.
Contraindications
Some conditions mean we postpone, or ask for medical clearance first. Consultation exists to catch them.
Pregnancy or breastfeeding
Active infection or inflammation in the treatment area
History of keloid scarring or abnormal wound healing
Accutane or photosensitising medication
Blood thinners or a bleeding disorder
Sunburn or active tan in the treatment area
Questions
Most clients report a slight snapping or stinging sensation. It is generally well tolerated, and intensity is adjusted for your comfort.
It varies with the concern, but typically three to six treatments spaced three to four weeks apart.
Mild redness, swelling, or darkening of the treated pigment before it clears — usually settling within a few days.
Not on tanned or sun-exposed skin. We plan IPL courses around your sun exposure.
