4. How does Lumecca work?

Lumecca works by emitting intense pulses of light energy into the skin. This energy is absorbed by pigmented areas and blood vessels, causing them to break down and be gradually eliminated by the body. As a result, the skin becomes clearer, smoother, and more youthful.

Additionally, Lumecca effectively addresses dry eye, ocular rosacea, and blepharitis through photothermolysis. By delivering light pulses to target abnormal blood vessels and pigmented lesions, it offers noticeable improvements after a single treatment. Lumecca also reduces inflammation along the eyelid margins, with customizable light energy for patient comfort and tailored treatment to meet individual needs.

5. How is Lumecca performed?

Step One – Cleansing

The treatment begins with thoroughly cleansing the targeted area to ensure it is clean and free from impurities.

 

Step Two – Light Application and Skin Penetration with Heat-Induced Damage

An intense light is applied in a series of gentle pulses to the treatment area. When the light pulse is administered, it may feel similar to a snap of a rubber band. Notably, this light penetrates the skin without causing damage and is effectively absorbed by abnormally dilated vessels or pigmentation. The heat generated by the light causes damage to the targeted vessels or lesions, initiating the body’s natural healing process.

 

Step Three – Post-Treatment Care

After the treatment, sunscreen is applied to protect the skin from sun exposure. For individuals with sensitive skin, a cool compress may be applied for added comfort. Lumecca treatments are generally well-tolerated and typically do not require anesthesia. However, a topical numbing cream can be applied for enhanced comfort if desired.

6. How long does Lumecca take to perform?

Lumecca treatments are relatively quick, typically lasting between 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the size and number of areas being treated.

7. What is recovery like after Lumecca?

Following a Lumecca treatment, patients benefit from minimal downtime. Temporary redness and mild swelling may occur, but these effects usually subside within hours to a day. Patients can promptly resume their normal activities. It’s important, however, to exercise caution and shield the treated skin from direct sunlight.

8. How soon will I see results?

Patients undergoing Lumecca treatments can expect visible results within a few days to a week post-procedure, including improvements in skin tone, texture, and a reduction in pigmentation irregularities. The most significant and noticeable changes in complexion and sun damage typically become apparent around 14-21 days following treatment, with optimal results achieved after completing 3-6 sessions. Skin improvement continues for up to three months after the final treatment.

9. How long do results last?

The longevity of Lumecca results can vary from person to person. In general, results can last several months to a year or more. Maintenance treatments may be recommended to sustain the benefits over time.
