Every plan is customized to your skin tone and goals, so you get a straightforward treatment with minimal disruption to your routine.
Most people notice that dark spots look darker within 24–48 hours after a session. This is normal and means the spots are coming to the surface; they usually fade over the next 7–10 days on facial skin. Redness often looks calmer within 1–2 weeks. Many clients see a brighter, more even look after one visit, with improvements building as you complete the series. From there, an occasional maintenance visit can help keep your complexion looking clear and refreshed.
Most people plan on 2–3 sessions spaced about 3–4 weeks apart to see a clear change in uneven tone and discoloration. Some concerns may benefit from a few additional visits and simple maintenance now and then. The number of sessions and scheduling will be customized by your provider based on your skin type, the areas of your face that need to be treated, and the desired appearance.
Your skin will experience brief bursts of warmth and light. Lumecca’s cooling helps with comfort, and your provider can adjust the settings for you.
A full face is usually about 20–30 minutes. Smaller touch-ups can be quicker. Your provider will give you a time estimate based on your plan.
Avoid sun and self-tanner for 1–2 weeks, pause strong actives (like retinoids and acids) for 3–5 days, skip facial waxing for a week, and arrive with clean, makeup-free skin. Share any medicines or recent treatments.
Downtime is usually minimal. You may see temporary redness, and dark spots can look darker before they flake or fade over the next 7–10 days. Avoid heat and heavy workouts for 24 hours and use SPF daily.
Skin often looks brighter within days. Spots typically fade within 1–2 weeks. Most people plan 2–3 sessions, about 3–4 weeks apart, with simple maintenance if needed.
We’ll assess your skin tone during a consult and choose a safe approach. IPL is often best for fair to medium tones; deeper tones are evaluated individually.
