Hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and other complexion concerns can make your skin appear uneven and aged, but they don’t have to be a permanent part of your appearance. At Fundamentals Med Spa in Indianapolis, IN, we are here to help our patients with specific concerns that they have about their skin.
Intense pulsed light therapy with Lumecca is a treatment option we offer to help address these skin concerns effectively. This technology uses light therapy to target and diminish the appearance of blemishes, leading to a clearer, more even complexion. As downtown Indianapolis’s only wellness med spa, we’re dedicated to providing you with access to advanced treatments like IPL to help you achieve healthier-looking skin.
Intense pulsed light therapy is a dermatological treatment that addresses various skin conditions by emitting multiple wavelengths of light onto the skin. Unlike lasers that use a single wavelength, this method covers a broader area and targets multiple types of skin issues simultaneously. The treatment is non-invasive and designed to improve the skin’s color and texture without significant downtime.
IPL light therapy involves delivering a broad spectrum of light to the skin, which penetrates deeply without harming the surface layer. Pulsed light therapy aims to treat brown pigmentation, redness, and sun damage by boosting the skin’s healing abilities. The energy from the light targets specific pigments and structures within the skin, helping to break down unwanted pigmentation and promoting a smoother, more even appearance.
General Facial Rejuvenation: As an effective anti-aging treatment, IPL promotes collagen production and revitalizes the skin. You can enjoy the comprehensive benefits of IPL therapy as it enhances your skin’s natural beauty, resulting in a fresher, younger-looking complexion.
The Lumecca IPL device stands out due to its high peak power and optimized output. With the capability to deliver complete photo rejuvenation in just one or two sessions for most patients, Lumecca surpasses standard IPL devices, which typically require four to six treatments. Additionally, its large spot size and high pulse repetition rate reduce treatment time, while the advanced sapphire cooling tip improves patient comfort during the IPL treatment.
During intense pulsed light therapy with Lumecca, you’ll experience a brief, light sensation as the device emits pulses of light to your skin. The treatment typically lasts between 15 and 30 minutes, depending on the area being treated. After the session, your skin may appear slightly redder and warmer, similar to a mild sunburn, but this usually subsides quickly.
IPL light therapy is versatile and can be applied to various parts of the body, including the face, chest, and other areas of the body exposed to sun damage or showing signs of aging. This adaptability makes it an effective solution for improving skin tone and texture across different body regions.
The number of sessions required for an effective skin rejuvenation and dark spot treatment can vary based on the severity of the discoloration and the desired outcome. While some patients see significant improvements in just one or two sessions, others might need a series of treatments, such as three or more, spaced about four weeks apart.
While discomfort levels can vary, most patients describe IPL therapy as causing a mild snapping sensation against the skin. The treatment is generally well-tolerated, especially with the cooling technology of Lumecca, and other strategies can be used to minimize discomfort during the session.
To prepare for your anti-aging treatment, avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanners for at least four weeks before your session. You should also discontinue any skincare products containing retinol or glycolic acid a few days prior to treatment. Cleanse your skin thoroughly, leaving it free from makeup, lotions, or perfumes on the day of the treatment.
After hyperpigmentation treatment, it is important to protect the treated area from the sun by applying broad-spectrum sunscreen daily and wearing protective clothing. Avoid hot baths, saunas, and intense exercise for the first 24 hours post-treatment. It’s also advisable to continue avoiding skincare products containing harsh chemicals or exfoliants for a few days.
