Lumecca IPL Treatments
Lumecca by InMode is an advanced intense pulsed light (IPL) treatment that refreshes and evens the skin in just one to three sessions. It can improve a wide variety of skin concerns for healthier, clearer-looking skin, including:
- Age spots
- Freckles
- Red patches from rosacea
- Sunspots
- Vascular lesions, spider veins, and port wine stains
Lumecca IPL is a non-surgical, non-invasive treatment that uses intense pulsed light to improve the skin’s appearance, with glowing results that appear after just a few days. Dr. Erez Dayan offers Lumecca IPL treatments at Avance Plastic Surgery Institute in Reno/Tahoe, NV.
Getting the most from a device like Lumecca depends on the expertise behind it — and few are better positioned than Dr. Erez Dayan, who serves as a clinical investigator and key opinion leader for InMode, the maker of Lumecca. A board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon and Medical Director of Avance Plastic Surgery Institute, he completed the Harvard Plastic Surgery Program — serving as Chief Resident at Massachusetts General Hospital — before an elite aesthetic fellowship at the Dallas Plastic Surgery Institute, where he was one of only two surgeons selected. That direct relationship with the technology means his team applies it with exceptional precision and safety. Lumecca IPL is one of the practice’s med spa treatments.
How Lumecca IPL Works
During treatment, intense pulsed light is flashed onto the targeted areas, creating a sensation similar to the light snap of a rubber band on the skin. Over the next 24 to 48 hours, the treated area will darken, and within about a week the treated skin flakes off to reveal a fresher, more even-toned complexion underneath.
What sets Lumecca apart is its power. Most standard IPL treatments deliver only 10 to 15 percent of their total pulse energy in the 500–600 nm range — the ideal range for hemoglobin and melanin absorption. Lumecca delivers 40 percent of its total pulse energy in that range, producing better results in less treatment time. This high efficiency makes it especially effective for treating pigmented and vascular lesions, and treatment is well tolerated and comfortable.
What to Expect From Lumecca IPL in Reno/Tahoe
Lumecca IPL can be used nearly anywhere on the body, though most patients treat areas regularly exposed to the sun — the face, neck, hands, arms, chest, and legs. Before treatment, you should avoid sun and tanning exposure for at least a month. During the session, a bright flash of light is directed at the target area with that quick snapping sensation; afterward, your skin may feel warm and look red for about an hour. Treatment of vascular lesions may cause a temporary blanching of the vein, or the blood vessel’s color may change and fade over a few days.
Most patients see improvement just a few days after their first Lumecca treatment, and additional sessions may be recommended for even better results. Dr. Dayan determines the optimal number of treatments to achieve your desired outcome.
