IPL Photofacial
Lumecca IPL Photofacial in Charlottesville, VA
Brighter, More Even Skin
Lumecca IPL Photofacial or ‘photorejuvenation’, is an effective, non-invasive way to treat photoaging like sun damage, brown spots, broken capillaries and irregular pigmentation on the face, neck and chest.
IPL uses intense flashes of light that penetrate deep below skin's surface to break down pigment and target hemoglobin (for capillaries) and melanin-producing cells to unveil clear, brighter skin. With sun protection, results are long term.

Quick treatment sessions
-
If you wear makeup to your treatment, we ask that you remove it prior to the service.
Avoid retin-a and other cream exfoliants for at least a week prior to your service. You should also avoid sun exposure - we can’t perform an IPL treatment on tanned skin.
You’ll experience some redness and possibly some darkening of pigmented spots. Keep this in mind if you schedule your treatment hours before a big event.
-
Limit sun exposure and wear sunscreen following your treatment. it’s necessary to help protect your skin - and also to preserve your results.
You’ll notice dark spots rise to the surface of skin within 24 - 48 hours. That’s totally normal. Let them flake off on their own (this should take about 1 - 2 weeks).
