How Lumecca IPL Photofacial Works for Your Unique Needs

Illuminate Your Radiance with IPL Photofacial Therapy!

Reveal a more vibrant, even-toned you with our transformative IPL Photofacial, the non-surgical solution that revitalizes and refines. Imagine undoing years of sun exposure, diminishing age spots, and softening those bothersome red and brown patches—all without downtime. Our IPL therapy is designed to elevate your skin’s natural glow, targeting issues like photoaging, rosacea, hyperpigmentation, and more.

With advanced, multi-wavelength technology, IPL precisely targets unwanted pigment and vein irregularities, giving your skin a smooth, youthful appearance. Whether it’s sun damage, freckles, or broken blood vessels, this rejuvenating treatment brings a brighter, balanced complexion.

Reclaim your confidence and step into the spotlight with skin that looks as youthful as you feel.

Ideal For:

Certain Skin Tones
Redness
Sun Damage
Hyperpigmentation

Does Not Treat:

Acne
Skin Laxity

Redness

IPL heats the skin and blood vessels below the surface. Hemoglobin then absorbs the light pulses, and heats up rapidly—destroying the capillaries and vessels that contribute to the appearance of redness.

Hyperpigmentation

During your treatment, specific wavelengths of light interact with red and brown pigments in the skin, which break up excess melanin.

Tone & Texture

During your treatment, light is converted into heat energy, which reignites collagen & elastin production—leading to smoother, more even-toned skin.

Sun Damage

Signs of sun damage, like hyperpigmentation, are reduced through a series of intense pulses of light.

Ideal For:

Certain Skin Tones
Redness
Sun Damage
Hyperpigmentation

Does Not Treat:

Acne
Skin Laxity

How It Works

Step 1: Pulsed Light Photothermolysis

Bright flashes of light deliver specific wavelengths which target red and brown pigments in the skin.

How It Works

Step 2: Melanin Breakdown

The light and heat causes these unwanted pigments to break down into smaller particles, which will slowly fade and disappear through the body's natural healing process.

How It Works

Step 3: Smooth & Clear Skin

The remaining melanin particles rise to the skin's surface and flake away, leaving the skin smooth and clear.

Lumecca IPL Photofacial at A Glance

Detailed guide: no sun and retinol restrictions.

Before Your Treatment

Stop retinol use 10 days before your treatment, and exfoliating active ingredients at least 1 week before.
Wait to book Lumecca IPL if you’ve had other Ever/Body facial treatments—with the exception of Hydrafacial™—within the past 2 weeks.
If you’ve recently been sunburned, wait 4 weeks before this treatment.
If you have a fresh tan—either sun-made or artificial—wait 2 weeks before this treatment.

Reminder to use SPF for skin protection.

After Your Treatment

Limit sun exposure for 1 week after treatment, and wear sunscreen daily to protect your skin.

You’ll notice dark spots rise to the surface of your skin within 1-2 days. That’s totally normal, and a sign that the treatment is working! Allow them to flake off on their own over the next 1-2 weeks to prevent hyperpigmentation. No picking.

Results

You’ll begin to see an improvement in skin within 1-2 weeks. However, the results continue to improve over time, and you’ll likely see the best results about 1 month after your last treatment.

Before & Afters

Frequency

We recommend an initial series of 3 treatments, spaced 4 weeks apart. After that, we recommend you repeat the series annually.

Please adhere to these pre-treatment instructions to avoid contraindications or we will be unable to administer this treatment for your safety.

RESULTS THAT SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES

Lumecca IPL Photofacial in action.

I booked an IPL photofacial to help counteract some sun damage, treat a few brown spots, and get rid of a few broken capillaries. After just one week a few of the brown spots that were driving me crazy had disappeared. That alone was enough to make me happy. But in addition to that, some of the capillaries disappeared, and my complexion was so much nicer. I'm very happy with my results, and very happy with my skilled provider.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is Lumecca IPL Photofacial best for?

Laser IPL works by targeting the melanin—pigment—in the skin. Because of this, IPL is only suitable for those with very fair skin. It is not advisable for those with more active pigment or melanocytes. Not sure if you’re a candidate? Chat with our providers and book a complimentary consultation to see if it’s right for you. Alternatively, our Clear + Brilliant laser facial and VI Peel are great options for any skin tone.

When will I see results?

You'll begin to see an improvement in skin within 1-2 weeks. However, the results continue to improve over time, and you'll likely see the best results about 1 month after your last treatment.

What does it feel like?

Laser IPL feels similar to laser hair removal, which is a bit like a rubber band snapping against skin. It's not the most comfortable, but very tolerable. After the treatment, it'll feel like you have a mild sunburn.

What do you mean by “exfoliating active ingredients?”

These are ingredients in your skincare that cause physical or chemical exfoliation, such as acids, non-prescription retinols, benzoyl peroxide, and scrubs.

Is this a good treatment for melasma?

If you have melasma, we recommend booking either a medical grade Hydrafacial chemical peel, which can also be booked with us.

Can I work out after?

Plan on getting your workout in before your treatment, as you should refrain from sweat-inducing activities for a few days following your session.

Can I book this right before an event?

Avoid scheduling this treatment 1-2 weeks before a big event, as you may experience redness, darkening of pigmented spots, and flaking after treatment.

What skincare routine should I follow after treatment?

Begin using a gentle cleanser, moisturizer, and SPF as recommended by your provider.

Not sure which treatment is right for you?

We can help with that! Schedule a complimentary consultation with one of our expert providers and we'll help you create a customized plan. Exclusivly at our Tysons Galleria location.
