What is Lumecca IPL?

Lumecca IPL uses powerful light pulses to target pigmentation and vascular concerns. Dr. Chakeer delivers concentrated light energy absorbed by melanin (the natural pigment in the skin) and hemoglobin (the protein in blood vessels), breaking down unwanted spots and visible vessels while leaving surrounding tissue unharmed. 

This advanced technology requires fewer sessions than traditional IPL treatments.

How does Lumecca IPL work?

The Lumecca device emits specific wavelengths of light that penetrate below your skin’s surface. Dr. Chakeer controls these pulses to create precise heating in targeted areas. Your body’s natural healing process then removes the treated pigment and vessels over several weeks, revealing clearer, more even-toned skin.

What are the benefits of Lumecca IPL?

Lumecca IPL targets skin concerns that aging and sun exposure leave behind. Benefits include:

• Reduced sun damage and age spots
• Decreased facial redness
• Less visible blood vessels
• More even skin tone
• Improved skin clarity
• Minimal downtime
• Treatment for face and body
• Safe for most skin types

Dr. Chakeer’s precise approach targets multiple skin concerns in each session, and the results continue to develop over several weeks.

What does a Lumecca IPL treatment involve?

Your Lumecca IPL session at Premier MedSpa begins with skin cleansing and protective eye shields. Dr. Chakeer passes the Lumecca device across your treatment areas, delivering bright flashes of light that feel like mild rubber band snaps. For improved comfort, cold air flows over your skin during treatment. 

The procedure typically takes 30-45 minutes. Afterward, your skin may appear slightly red and feel warm, similar to a mild sunburn, but you can return to normal activities immediately.

How many Lumecca IPL treatments will I need?

Most patients achieve optimal results with 1-3 Lumecca IPL treatments spaced four weeks apart. At Premier MedSpa, Dr. Chakeer evaluates your skin tone, pigmentation level, and specific concerns to create your personalized treatment plan. 

While many notice improvements after one session, additional treatments help target deeper pigmentation and ensure long-lasting results.
