Lumecca
Aging and cell damage through time can result in a lack of suppleness in the skin.
Aspen Prime Medspa’s Lummeca is a non-invasive treatment that stimulates collagen and elastin to lessen the appearance of sun damage, redness, and post-inflammatory pigmentation.
The Lummeca treatment decreases and eliminates particular discoloration in the skin, ranging from redness and spider veins to darkened spots. This popular anti-aging treatment is fast as it produces noticeable effects after one to two sessions.
This laser treatment allows light to enter the skin safely, assisting in the breakdown of melanocytes that cause uneven pigmentation and the regeneration of new healthy cells while also providing younger, brighter-looking skin. Lummeca uses a Photo-thermolysis laser, which delivers precise wavelengths of light that interact with red and brown pigments in the skin.

What is Lumecca?
Lumecca is the most potent intense pulsed light (IPL) treatment available for pigmented and vascular lesions.
Patients find dramatic changes in their skin’s color and clarity with only one application. Lumecca employs photothermolysis, which gives a photo facial with the use of a relaxing light treatment.
How does Lumecca work?
Photo-thermolysis is used by the Lumecca™ IPL laser, which delivers precise wavelengths of light that interact with red and brown pigments in the skin. These pigments absorb light and are degraded, frequently in a single session. Lumecca is one of the most potent therapies for pigmentation and redness caused by sun damage, with a high specificity and selectivity.
what areas can be treated?
Lumecca can be applied on any part of the body. The most often treated regions are those that are regularly exposed to the sun. Face, neck, décolletage, legs, hands, and arms are frequently included.
When can I see the results?
Results for sun damage and skin tone can be observed a few days after the first session. The skin will continue to look younger and more radiant over time, with the best benefits showing after 1-2 weeks.
Multiple photo face sessions will improve the final outcome. Results from vascular therapies, such as face telangiectasias, can be evident in as little as two weeks.
How long does results last?
The visible results of Photofacials often last 6 months to a year. Maintenance treatments are advised to extend the visibility of the effects.
How many sessions should I get?
After the first session, the skin’s appearance has transformed. Having many sessions provides even better results. The level of skin damage, skin type, kind of therapy (vascular versus solar damage), and energy settings all influence the treatment regimen.
How long is the recovery period?
Healing time might range between one and two weeks. Following that, you should see lovely, clear, even, silky, and youthful-looking skin.
Is there anything I should do before getting this treatment?
One month before treatment, avoid direct, excessive sun exposure or tanning.
What should I expect during my Lumecca treatment?
During treatment, the Lumecca will emit a brilliant flash of light that will feel like a mild elastic sensation. After treatment, redness and a minor warmth of the skin are typical and normally go away within an hour.
Over the following 24-48 hours, you may see a darkening of pigmented areas; the pigmented lesions will flake off, resulting in an even skin tone.
Following treatment for vascular lesions, you may see the vein blanching and disappearing or a color change in the artery that fades within a few days.
What should I do after my treatment?
The majority of individuals who had the Lumecca treatment have minimal adverse effects, and any skin response normally disappears within a few hours.
Patients may have sensitivity to sunlight shortly following therapy. It is advised to avoid tanning and direct sunlight.
