Feel Younger

Are you bothered by irregular skin tones? Were you born with unwanted freckles? Consider the state-of-the-art intense pulsed laser treatment designed to combat sun damage long-term—Lumecca.

The Lumecca device has been used to improve skin texture and tone all over the body. Most commonly, Lumecca treatments are utilized on the face, neck, hands, or arms. Lumecca is designed to promote even skin tone and is therefore an ideal procedure to combat signs of sun damage, however, its advanced technology can also be utilized for other aesthetic concerns including:

• Sunspots and age spots
• Freckles
• Rosacea
• Vascular and pigmented lesions
• Spider veins
• Redness and flushing
• Uneven skin tone and texture

The majority of Lumecca candidates are typically seeking to address skin concerns, pigmentation irregularities, or sun damage. Ideal candidates are generally in good overall health and understand the potential outcomes of the treatment. Before undergoing Lumecca, a consultation with 22 Spa MD is essential to determine if Lumecca is a safe and effective option for the individual’s skin type and concerns.

Certain candidates may be advised to postpone or consider alternate treatments. If you are currently pregnant, breastfeeding, have an active skin condition, or have recently undergone a resurfacing procedure, you will need to postpone Lumecca treatment until after your condition has passed. On the other hand, patients with autoimmune disorders, a history of keloid scarring, darker skin tones, or those who experience poor wound healing may experience complications with Lumecca. If you are an at-risk patient, 22 Spa MD will provide gentler alternatives or modified treatment plans to ensure ideal results.

It is normal to experience redness and a slight warming of the skin for an hour or so following Lumecca treatment. As damaged cells begin to lift out of the skin, pigmented spots may darken and become more apparent for about a week before clearing. Vascular lesions will also change pigmentation before dissipating altogether. The process can take a week or more before the skin clears.

Immediate improvements are noticeable with just one session, but most patients will undergo multiple Lumecca treatments for comprehensive results. The exact number of sessions will vary between patients according to the severity of concerns.

Aftercare includes cooling the skin as needed and using healing serums for an extra layer of moisture and protection. Once minor irritation passes, makeup and regular products can continue to be applied to the treated area. Depending on what Lumecca sessions are utilized for, patients may have personalized aftercare instructions. 22 Spa MD will provide you with comprehensive guidelines after treatment to help optimize results.
