Lumecca IPL for Pigmentation & Sun Damage
Lumecca IPL is an advanced intense pulsed light treatment for pigmentation, sun damage, redness, and vascular concerns. At Sisä Skincare in Freshwater, Northern Beaches.
Lumecca IPL Therapy
Lumecca IPL delivers broad-spectrum light pulses that are absorbed by chromophores (light-reactive molecules) within the skin. This targeted absorption triggers a controlled thermal response, effectively reducing the appearance of sun damage, pigmentation, age spots, fine lines and visible vascular concerns. It is a powerful yet comfortable treatment designed to improve overall skin clarity and support a more even-looking complexion.

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 pigmentation, sun damage, 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, treating sun damage, pigmentation, redness and fine lines on the décolletage. This delicate area, often exposed to the sun, benefits from IPL's ability to brighten uneven skin tone, diminish visible capillaries and stimulate collagen production. Treating the décolletage creates a more uniform appearance while helping reduce future signs of sun damage for smoother, more radiant skin.

Lumecca IPL - Spot treatment
Lumecca IPL can treat broken capillaries and targeted concerns including sun spots, pigmentation, freckles, telangiectasias, poikiloderma, cherry angiomas and spider angiomas. These concerns often appear on the face, hands, shoulders and décolletage. Treatments are performed in 10 cm × 10 cm sections, with pricing tailored to the treatment area and extent of the concern. Your consultation will determine the most appropriate treatment for your skin.

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 face and décolletage. 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.
