Intense Pulse Light

(Lumecca)

what is the service?

Intense Pulse Light (IPL), specifically Lumecca, is an advanced photofacial treatment that uses broad-spectrum light to target various skin imperfections. This non-invasive procedure is designed to improve skin tone and texture, effectively addressing issues like sun damage, age spots, redness, and rosacea. By delivering powerful light pulses, Lumecca stimulates collagen production and promotes skin rejuvenation. 

Unlike traditional lasers, IPL can treat larger areas quickly and efficiently, making it an excellent option for those looking to enhance their skin's appearance with minimal downtime. Many clients experience noticeable results after just one session, although a series of treatments may be recommended for optimal outcomes.

how do we deliver?

During the Lumecca IPL treatment at Pōk Aesthetic Bar, our skilled practitioners begin with a comprehensive skin assessment to determine the most effective settings for the individual's skin type and concerns. A cooling gel is applied to the treatment area to enhance comfort. The Lumecca device emits short bursts of intense light, which penetrate the skin and target pigmented and vascular lesions without damaging surrounding tissue. 

The treatment typically lasts between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the area being treated. Afterward, our professionals provide specific aftercare guidelines to ensure the best results and minimize any potential discomfort.

What clients can expect from this service?

Clients can expect a comfortable and efficient intense pulsed light therapy experience with Lumecca IPL. After the session, they may notice some redness similar to a mild sunburn, which usually subsides within a few hours. Initial improvements in skin tone and texture can often be seen within a few days, with continued enhancement over several weeks as collagen builds and skin rejuvenates. 

Most clients report a significant reduction in the appearance of age spots, sun damage, and redness. Regular follow-up sessions can help maintain results, with our team providing ongoing support and guidance throughout the treatment process.
