1. What is InMode Lumecca?
InMode Lumecca is an advanced Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment designed to address various skin concerns, including pigmentation, vascular lesions, and overall skin rejuvenation. Lumecca uses high peak power and optimized light wavelengths to provide effective and safe treatments with fewer sessions compared to traditional IPL.
2. How does Lumecca work?
Lumecca works by emitting powerful pulses of broad-spectrum light that penetrate the skin. The light energy is absorbed by pigmented spots (melanin) and blood vessels (hemoglobin), converting into heat and destroying the targeted cells. This process stimulates the body's natural healing response, leading to clearer and more even-toned skin.
3. What conditions can Lumecca treat?
- Pigmentation: Sunspots, age spots, freckles, and melasma.
- Vascular Lesions: Spider veins, broken capillaries, and rosacea.
- Skin Texture: Fine lines, wrinkles, and enlarged pores.
- Acne Scars: Red and brown marks left by acne.
4. Is Lumecca safe?
Yes, Lumecca is generally considered safe when performed by a trained and experienced practitioner. It is designed to provide effective results with minimal discomfort and downtime. However, it is essential to have a consultation to ensure that Lumecca is suitable for your skin type and condition.
5. What can I expect during the treatment?
During the treatment, a cooling gel is applied to the target area to enhance comfort and protect the skin. The Lumecca handpiece is then moved across the skin, delivering pulses of light. You may feel a mild snapping sensation, similar to a rubber band being snapped against the skin. The procedure typically lasts 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.
6. Is there any downtime after the procedure?
Lumecca has minimal downtime. You may experience mild redness and warmth in the treated area immediately after the procedure, similar to a sunburn. These effects usually subside within a few hours to a day. Most patients can return to their normal activities immediately.
7. How many treatments are needed?
The number of treatments required varies depending on the condition being treated and individual skin response. Generally, patients see significant improvements after 1 to 3 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart.
8. When will I see results?
Results from Lumecca treatment can vary based on the condition being treated. Pigmented spots may darken initially and then flake off within a week. Vascular lesions may blanch and disappear gradually. Overall skin tone and texture improvements are typically seen within a few weeks, with continued enhancement over several months.
9. Are there any side effects?
Side effects are generally mild and temporary, including redness, swelling, and mild discomfort at the treatment site. Rarely, more severe side effects such as blistering, scarring, or changes in skin pigmentation can occur.
10. Can Lumecca be combined with other treatments?

11. Who is a good candidate for Lumecca?
Good candidates for Lumecca are individuals with fair to medium skin tones who want to address specific skin concerns such as pigmentation, vascular lesions, and overall skin rejuvenation.
