What Is a Lumecca IPL photofacial?
Lumecca IPL (often referred to as a “photofacial”) is a light-based treatment that targets unwanted pigment and redness in the skin. IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light -while it’s not a laser, it works in a similar way by delivering controlled pulses of light into the skin.
This energy helps break down sun spots, freckles, visible redness, and tiny broken capillaries, allowing the skin to gradually clear and even out over time.
At Pure Radiance MedSpa & Wellness, we use Lumecca Peak IPL, an advanced system known for its precision and effectiveness, to help your skin look brighter, clearer, and more balanced — without surgery.
Results
Many clients notice their skin looks brighter and more even within the first couple of weeks.
What’s typical:
- After 1 treatment: You may see noticeable brightening and a reduction in visible redness or pigmentation
- Over 2–4 weeks: Pigment may darken temporarily, then gradually flakes or fades as the skin renews
- Best results: Often achieved with a series of 2–3 treatments, depending on the level of sun damage or redness being treated
Results vary based on your skin type, your starting point, and how consistent you are with sun protection and aftercare — something we’ll review in detail during your consultation.
