What skin conditions can Lumecca treat?

Lumecca is effective for treating a variety of skin concerns, including hyperpigmentation, age spots, sun damage, freckles, rosacea, spider veins, and uneven skin tone. It can also help improve the overall texture and brightness of the skin by promoting collagen production.

 

How many Lumecca treatments will I need to see results?

Most patients see significant improvement after just one or two treatments, depending on the severity of the skin condition being treated. However, for optimal results, a series of 2 to 3 treatments spaced several weeks apart may be recommended. Your provider will assess your skin and create a personalized treatment plan.

 

Is there any downtime after a Lumecca treatment?

Lumecca is a non-invasive treatment with minimal downtime. After the procedure, patients may experience mild redness, similar to a sunburn, which usually subsides within a few hours. Pigmented spots may darken before they begin to flake off over the next several days. Most people can return to their normal activities immediately after the session.

 

Are there any side effects associated with Lumecca?

Lumecca is considered safe when performed by a trained professional. Side effects are generally mild and may include temporary redness, swelling, or darkening of pigmented spots. These effects typically resolve within a few days. Rarely, blistering or changes in skin pigmentation may occur, especially in those with darker skin tones, which is why it’s important to consult with an experienced provider.

​

How long do the results of Lumecca last?

The results of Lumecca can be long-lasting, especially with proper skincare and sun protection. Sun damage and pigmentation issues may reappear over time due to factors like sun exposure, aging, and lifestyle habits. To maintain your results, your provider may recommend maintenance treatments once or twice a year, along with consistent use of sunscreen and good skincare practices.

 

Can Lumecca be used on all skin types?

Lumecca is most effective for lighter skin tones (Fitzpatrick skin types I to III) because it targets pigmentation and vascular lesions, which are more easily distinguishable in lighter skin. While Lumecca can still be used on darker skin tones, it requires careful consideration and adjustments to avoid potential complications like hyperpigmentation or burns. Always consult with a qualified provider who is experienced in treating a variety of skin types to ensure safety and optimal results.

 

What areas of the body can be treated with Lumecca?

Lumecca can be used on a variety of areas beyond just the face. It is commonly used to treat sun damage, pigmentation, and redness on areas like the neck, chest, hands, arms, and legs. Essentially, any area exposed to the sun and prone to skin discoloration can benefit from Lumecca treatment. Your provider will assess your concerns and recommend the best areas for treatment based on your needs.
