Frequently Asked Questions
Can I have IPL during the summer?
IPL can be performed during warmer months, but sun exposure and tanning must be carefully controlled. Recently tanned or sun-exposed skin may not be suitable for treatment, and daily broad-spectrum SPF is essential before and after IPL. If your skin has recently tanned, your appointment may need to be postponed.
Can I combine IPL with microneedling or other treatments?
Yes, IPL can be incorporated into a broader skin treatment plan, but the timing and order of treatments matter. Depending on your goals, IPL may be combined with or alternated with treatments such as microneedling to address both pigmentation and skin texture. The safest sequence should be determined during consultation.
What makes Lumecca IPL different from a regular facial?
A facial works primarily on the surface of the skin through cleansing, exfoliation, hydration and extractions. Lumecca IPL uses intense pulsed light to target pigment and vascular concerns beneath the skin’s surface. It is better suited for visible sun damage, freckles, redness and capillaries that cannot be significantly changed with a standard facial alone.
Will IPL make my skin look younger?
IPL does not change facial structure or replace treatments designed specifically for skin tightening, but improving brown spots, redness and uneven tone can make the skin look noticeably fresher and more youthful. For many clients, clearer and more even skin creates one of the biggest visible improvements in overall complexion.
IPL is skin-type dependent. A consultation helps confirm if Lumecca or another service is the safer path.
