Reduces pigmentation, improves overall complexion, and visibly reverses common signs of skin ageing.
Not all IPLs are made equal. But at FrownDocs, we offer only the very best.
With their advanced technology harnessing up to three times more energy in the crucial 500-600 nm range than alternative technologies, Lumecca IPL delivers incredible results in fewer treatments.
All candidates must be pre-assessed for treatment suitability, so book your Patch Test today.
During treatment there will be a bright flash of light from the IPL device that feels like a light elastic sensation. While the treatment itself is pain-free, it’s normal to experience some redness and a little warming of the skin after treatment, which usually subsides within an hour. Over the next 24-48 hours you may see a darkening of pigmented spots. In the following week, the pigmented lesions will begin to flake off, evening out skin tone. After treating vascular lesions you may see the vein blanch and disappear or a colour change in the blood vessel, which dissipates after a few days.
Avoid direct, excessive sun exposure or tanning for three weeks before and after treatment.
Improvements in the appearance of your skin should be noticeable after just one treatment, with the most visible results showing 1-2 weeks later. The number of treatments required will vary depending on the severity of skin damage and skin type (we’ll go through this during consultation), though 1-6 treatments is normal.
Lumecca IPL uses precision-targeted high-energy pulses of light in the 500-600 nm range which pass through healthy layers of the skin. Only when they come into contact pigmented tissues does this energy converts to heat, causing the sun damaged cells to breakdown and be cleaned-up.
