How does Lumecca work in Quebec?
Lumecca is an intense pulsed light (IPL) technology used to treat pigmented lesions of varying severity levels. It offers the ability to use multiple wavelengths to precisely target various skin abnormalities at different depths. An additional advantage of IPL is its ability to adjust pulse length over a varied range, from a few milliseconds to several hundred milliseconds. Energy can be delivered in a single pulse or in a series of pulses.
This new technology aims to optimize a wide range of light spectrum filtering activities to achieve efficiency similar to that of a pulsed laser for the treatment of superficial vascular lesions. To improve the texture and elasticity of the skin, it is necessary to stimulate the production of new collagen fibers and restructure existing fibers. This can be achieved by inducing thermal injury to dermal collagen fibers, thereby activating natural repair and regeneration processes.
The advantages of Lumecca technology include high efficiency in the treatment of vascular and pigmented lesions due to its high peak power and optimized output. Additionally, fewer sessions are required for a complete photo-rejuvenation treatment and for spot treatment compared to other standard IPL systems. We recommend a maintenance program for lasting results.
Photorejuvenation treatment with Lumecca aims to correct the appearance of age spots (red/brown pigmentation), sun damage, vascular lesions (spider veins, port wine stains, telangiectasia), rosacea and freckles.
