FAQ

HOW IS LUMECCA DIFFERENT FROM OTHER IPL TREATMENTS?

Microneedling is a gentle anti-aging and skin resurfacing procedure that can reduce the appearance of lines, wrinkles, pore size, hyperpigmentation, sun spots, scars, and stretch marks. We use a device with tiny needles that create tiny holes/pokes on the top layers of the skin. These little holes stimulate your skin to produce collagen and elastin leaving your skin bright and full. It works with the body’s natural renewal process encouraging collagen production, rejuvenation, and significantly improves the elasticity of the skin. Combining microneedling with PRP is the ultimate “Liquid Gold Facial.” This minimally invasive procedure helps initiate the cell therapy processes by utilizing the growth factors & stem cells within the platelets, revolutionizing the reversal of skin aging and damage. According to research,  It increases the treated area's collagen & elastin by 400% in 6 months after treatment.

IS THERE ANY DOWNTIME AFTER LUMECCA?

Our blood is made up of two main components; red blood cells, and plasma. The plasma contains platelets which are rich in growth factors and stem cells. These components play the role of messengers, signaling cells to function and regenerate. These powerful growth factors are commonly known as “liquid gold” by medical professionals. They have the ability to stimulate collagen, improve skin tone, reduce wrinkles and reverse sun damage when microneedled or injected into the skin.

HOW LONG WILL LUMECCA RESULTS LAST?

The number of treatments needed varies per patient, however, we recommend 4 treatments administered at four week intervals, followed by 1-2 maintenance treatments until the desired result is achieved.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I GET LUMECCA IPL TREATMENTS?

Your body starts recovering from the treatment immediately after it’s finished. Treated areas will appear red for a few days after the procedure but this will go away naturally and quickly. To avoid pigment changes or scarring after the procedure, it is best to follow the post-treatment instructions that we’ve developed in order to ensure you have the best response possible.
