Lumecca IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)
At Dr Nerina Wilkinson + Associates we use the advanced InMode Lumecca Technology. Lumecca is the most powerful intense pulsed light (IPL) used to treat pigmented and vascular lesions. After each session patients notice significant improvements in the overall complexion and clarity of the skin.
The light energy delivered by Lumecca gently heats the upper layers of the skin. The heat is absorbed by the target areas and will stimulate the skin cells to regenerate. Lumecca offers a superior solution to improving skin complexion and reducing skin irregularities – resulting in clearer, smoother and younger-looking skin.

FAQ
What Will I Feel During My Lumecca Treatment?
A cool conductive gel is applied to the treatment area, this helps to ensure you are comfortable and also assists in directing the light to the targeted area.
Protective goggles will be placed over the eye area to protect them from the flashing light during the treatment. The applicator will then be applied to the treatment area and a flashing light can be seen with each pulse and a heated rubber band snapping sensation can be experienced in the area. Larger areas can experience a more generalised heated sensation.

How Will My Skin Look Immediately After Lumecca IPL?
A flushed appearance can be expected on the day of the treatment.
Pigmented lesions will appear darker and mimic the appearance of ground coffee before lifting. Vascular lesions may appear bruised or darker before eventually starting to lighten.
How Many Lumecca IPL Treatments Do I Need To See Results?
Pigmented lesions may require 3 – 4 sessions before seeing results, depending on the depth of the lesions. It will also require maintenance sessions to prevent new pigmented lesions from surfacing.
Vascular lesions may require 4 – 6 treatments before seeing results and will also require maintenance sessions to prevent the reformation of new vascular lesions.

Lumecca IPL is extremely effective at improving the appearance of:
- Age spots (red/brown pigmentations)
- Small facial veins such as facial telangiectasias (spider veins) and poikiloderma

What To Expect From Your Lumecca Procedure?
The light energy penetrates the dermis and is turned into heat energy. The heat causes a controlled inflammatory response within the dermis and gradually breaks down pigmentation and vascularity for an overall clearer and evened skin complexion.
