Intense Pulsed Light in Shelburne

During your Lumecca treatment you can expect a bright flash of light and a sensation on the skin that feels like a light snap from an elastic band.

Redness and slight warming of the skin are normal post-treatment and usually subside within an hour. Over the next 24–48 hours dark pigmented spots may darken further, but will flake off in a week leaving your skin with a nice even tone. After treating vascular lesions the vein may blanch and disappear or the vessel may change colour. This will dissipate after a few days.

The number of sessions we recommend depend on the unique needs of your skin. Booking a complimentary consultation will help us evaluate your skin and provide a treatment regime for you.

Noticeable results can be seen in as little as one session, but multiple sessions may provide further improvements to your skin.

When treating sun damage or overall skin complexion, you can see improvements in as little as a few days after the first session, with the most visible results after 1–2 weeks. Multiple sessions can improve the final result.

For vascular treatments, results can be seen in up to 2 weeks.

Most Lumecca patients don’t experience any side effects. Skin reactions, such as redness and slight warming, often subside within the first few hours after treatment. We recommend avoiding direct sunlight or tanning after your treatment as your skin may be sensitive to sunlight.
