Sisä Skincare, in Sydney’s Northern Beaches, offers premium solutions to help you achieve your skin goals, including gold-standard technology with Lumecca IPL – a non-invasive way to treat various skin and vascular concerns.
Lumecca IPL Therapy
Lumecca IPL, delivers broad-spectrum light pulses which are absorbed by chromophores (light-reactive molecules) in your skin. This targeted absorption triggers a controlled thermal response, effectively reducing the look of sun damage, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and vascular issues such as rosacea. It is a powerful, yet comfortable treatment which offers a radiant complexion with lasting results.

Lumecca IPL Therapy
Even Complexion
Lumecca IPL targets both pigmentation and redness. It disrupts melanin production for even skin tone and constricts broken capillaries.
targets redness
Lumecca IPL targets redness and small capillaries. Precise light triggers controlled heating within these vessels. They gradually constrict, and disappear.
Improves Skin Texture
The light pulses stimulate collagen production, which can help in minimising the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, giving your skin a smoother look.
Relaxing treatment
A standout feature of Lumecca IPL therapy is the conveience and comfort of the treatment sessions. They are often completed within 30 minutes.

Lumecca IPL - Full Face
By treating the entire face, we are able to achieve a more even skin complexion. This allows us to address multiple concerns like sun spots and freckles. The heat disrupts melanin production, and we can address enlarged blood vessels causing redness, as the light targets chromophores within them. By stimulating collagen production, Lumecca IPL also helps diminish fine lines and wrinkles, promoting a firmer appearance. Visible results are often achieved after a single treatment.

Lumecca IPL - Decolletagé
Lumecca IPL goes beyond the face, tackling sun damage, redness, and fine lines on the décolletage. This delicate area, often exposed to sun, benefits greatly from IPL's ability to brighten uneven skin tone, diminish visible capillaries, and stimulate collagen production. Treating the décolletage creates a more uniform look and prevents future signs of sun damage. Smoother, more radiant skin in this area helps to achieve an overall rejuvenation.

Lumecca IPL - Spot treatment
Lumecca IPL can treat broken capillaries and specific, bothersome lesions like sun spots, freckles, telangiectasias, poikiloderma, cherry angiomas, and spider angiomas. These growths often appear on sun-exposed areas such as the face, hands, shoulders, and décolletage, or on the abdomen, arms, and legs. We treat these areas in 10cm X 10cm sections and pricing is tailored to both the total area covered, and the extent of lesions being targeted.

Tips and Suggestions
Choosing the right Lumecca IPL treatment depends entirely on your specific concerns. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. For facial rejuvenation, Lumecca IPL tackles sun damage, freckles, wrinkles, and redness. If uneven skin tone, broken capillaries, or signs of aging bother you, a full face treatment can be perfect. But concerns aren’t limited to the face. Lumecca IPL also targets sun spots, freckles, and small vascular blemishes on the décolletage and body. So, if you have bothersome lesions on your hands, shoulders, or legs, a targeted treatment can address those too. During your consultation, our nurse will assess your unique needs and recommend the most suitable treatment area – face, décolletage, or body – to target your specific skin and vascular concerns.
