Lumecca
A photofacial to reduce signs of premature aging and rejuvenate skin.
Lumecca IPL Photofacial or photorejuvenation, is an effective, non-invasive way to treat and reduce mild sun damage, brown spots, broken capillaries and irregular pigmentation on the face, neck and chest. It uses intense flashes of light that penetrate deep below skin's surface to break down pigment and target hemoglobin (for capillaries) and melanin-producing cells.
Why we love it?
It's an incredibly effective way to remove areas of discoloration but without being invasive or requiring a total resurfacing. There's no downtime and it's actually kind of cool to watch the spots surface and then flake away. We also love that it can address a variety of skin concerns to reveal a more even-toned, radiant complexion.

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.

Lumecca is best for those with fairer skin (Fitzpatrick Scale Types I-III), as it targets melanin in the skin. We recommend it for those looking to target redness, hyperpigmentation, and melasma.

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.
