Lumecca® in East Rutherford, NJ
Fade Sun Damage and Redness With Targeted Light Energy
Lumecca® in East Rutherford, NJ, uses intense pulsed light to target pigment and redness beneath the skin’s surface, breaking down sun spots, age spots, and visible blood vessels in a single treatment. At Aspen Prime Med Spa, this laser treatment works by delivering light energy that the skin absorbs differently depending on pigment or vessel concentration, which allows it to target discoloration without damaging surrounding tissue. Many clients notice years of cumulative sun exposure showing up as brown spots or redness across the face, chest, or hands, and this treatment addresses that damage directly rather than just covering it with makeup. You may notice an early reduction in hair growth after your first session, with results continuing to develop over subsequent treatments.
What is Lumecca®?
Lumecca® is a high-intensity IPL (intense pulsed light) device that targets pigment and vascular concerns in the skin. The device uses targeted broad-spectrum light to heat and break down pigment or visible blood vessels, helping improve the appearance of the treated area while minimizing effects on surrounding skin. Treated spots typically darken over the following days before flaking away naturally, while treated vessels fade gradually. At Aspen Prime Med Spa, your provider assesses your skin tone and sun-damage pattern before adjusting the settings for your session.

Lumecca Face
Lumecca is a treatment that is used to address a variety of skin problems. It aids in the improvement of skin tone and the reduction of hyperpigmentation (dark spots) caused by the sun, age, rosacea, and even acne.

Lumecca Neck / Body
Lumecca is the most efficient intense pulsed light (IPL) treatment available for treating changes in one's skin color and clarity. Lumecca can be applied on any part of the body. The most often treated regions are those that are regularly exposed to the sun. This frequently encompasses the face and neck.

Why Choose Aspen Prime Med Spa
Aspen Prime Med Spa adjusts Lumecca® settings based on your specific skin tone and the type of discoloration being treated, rather than applying a single setting to every client. Providers assess whether pigment, redness, or both are the main concern before your session begins. Our IPL treatment in East Rutherford, NJ, is designed to maximize results while minimizing unnecessary downtime. Clients return for maintenance sessions because sun damage continues to develop with ongoing exposure.

How many sessions will I need?
Some clients see visible improvement after one treatment, while two to three sessions may provide more comprehensive results for deeper discoloration. Your provider will recommend the appropriate approach for your skin.
Does Lumecca® hurt?
Most clients describe a warm, snapping sensation similar to that of a rubber band, which is generally well tolerated. Cooling can be used to improve comfort during treatment.
Is there downtime after Lumecca® IPL?
Treated spots typically darken and flake over one to two weeks, but there is no significant downtime otherwise. Most clients return to normal activities immediately.
Can Lumecca® treat rosacea or redness?
Yes, the treatment targets visible blood vessels that contribute to redness, in addition to pigment concerns. Your provider will assess whether your redness responds well to this approach.
Is Lumecca® safe for all skin tones?
Lumecca® is best suited for lighter to medium skin tones, since the light targets the contrast between skin tones and pigment. Your provider will evaluate whether this treatment fits your skin tone during a consultation.
How long do results last?
Results from this Lumecca® skin treatment are long-lasting, though new sun damage can develop with future sun exposure. Daily sunscreen use helps maintain your results.
