IPL Photofacial in De Soto, Kansas
Target sun damage, brown spots and redness with Lumecca IPL
Lumecca IPL is an intense pulsed light treatment designed to target unwanted pigmentation and visible redness while improving the overall appearance of your skin.
At Body Co. Med Spa & Wellness, we use Lumecca IPL to create personalized treatment plans for patients who want clearer, brighter and more even-looking skin without significant downtime.
What Can Lumecca IPL Treat?
IPL may be used to improve the appearance of:
• Sun damage
• Brown spots
• Age spots
• Freckles
• Uneven pigmentation
• Facial redness
• Visible blood vessels
• Rosacea-related redness in appropriate candidates
• Uneven skin tone
Common treatment areas include the face, neck, chest, hands and other areas with visible sun damage or pigmentation.
What Happens to Brown Spots After IPL?
Don't be surprised if some pigmentation temporarily looks darker after treatment.
This is often part of the treatment response.
Pigmented areas may darken or develop a coffee-ground-like appearance before gradually flaking or fading as the skin turns over.
Avoid picking or scrubbing treated areas. Allow the skin to naturally shed while following your recommended skincare and sun-protection instructions.
What Should I Expect During Treatment?
Your skin will be evaluated before treatment to determine whether IPL is appropriate for your skin type and concerns.
During treatment, a handheld device delivers brief pulses of light to the targeted area. You may feel a quick warm or snapping sensation with each pulse.
Treatment time varies depending on the area being treated.
Afterward, temporary redness, warmth or mild swelling may occur. Most patients are able to return to normal daily activities shortly after treatment.
How Many IPL Treatments Will I Need?
The number of treatments depends on your skin, the concern being treated, the amount of sun damage or redness present, and your individual response.
Some patients notice improvement after one treatment, while a series may be recommended for more significant pigmentation, redness or photodamage.
Your treatment plan will be customized during your consultation.
