Lumecca is the most powerful intense pulsed light (IPL )treatment to treat pigmented and vascular lesions in just 1-3 sessions. To ensure the best results and a smooth recovery, please follow these pre-treatment and aftercare instructions
Pre-Treatment Instructions for Lumecca IPL:
Avoid Sun & UV Exposure Before Your Treatment
Protect your skin from sun exposure and tanning 3-4 weeks prior treatment or use a minimum SPF 30 sunscreen regularly to prevent skin damage and complications during and after the treatment.
Avoid Topical Skincare Products
Refrain from using any topical products that may irritate your skin, such as retinoids, exfoliants, alpha or beta hydroxy acids, or other harsh skincare products, for 2-3 days before your treatment. These products can increase skin sensitivity and the risk of adverse reactions during the procedure. To protect your skin and ensure the best results, switch to gentle skincare options during this period to keep your skin calm and balanced.
Avoid Certain Medications If Possible
If your medical condition permits, avoid using anticoagulant medications such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or other blood thinners for 7-10 days before your treatment. These medications can increase the risk of bruising and bleeding during the procedure.
Shave The Treatment Area
Shave the treatment area before your appointment and ensure that all shaved hair is removed. This helps the treatment to be more effective and reduces the risk of irritation. Ensure your skin is thoroughly clean, free of any lotions, oils, makeup, or other products. Clean & clear skin will help the treatment work more efficiently and minimize the risk of complications.
Aftercare Instructions for Lumecca IPL:
Sun & UV Protection Post-Treatment
Protect the treated area from direct sun exposure and apply SPF for 3 weeks after the treatment. This will help prevent sun damage and protect your skin as it recovers.
Keep The Area Moisturized:
You can apply a moisturizer after your treatment. Keeping your skin hydrated will help support the aftercare process and maintain skin hydration.
Make-up Application:
If your skin feels calm and isn’t showing any signs of irritation, you can apply makeup right after your treatment.
