Summer is just around the corner, and while you’re probably dreaming of sunny days and outdoor adventures, it’s also the time to think about how to best prepare your skin. After all, sun exposure can exacerbate skin issues and lead to premature aging. At Thrive Wellness and Aesthetics, we offer a cutting-edge solution called Lumecca IPL that can help you achieve radiant, rejuvenated skin just in time for the warmer months.
Understanding Lumecca IPL
Lumecca IPL is a powerful Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment designed to target a variety of skin concerns. It works by delivering intense pulses of light to the skin, which are absorbed by specific chromophores, such as melanin (responsible for pigmentation) and hemoglobin (found in blood vessels). This targeted energy helps to address issues like sunspots, age spots, redness, and uneven skin tone.
Benefits of Lumecca IPL for Summer Skin Prep
- Targets Sun Damage: After months of potential sun exposure, Lumecca IPL effectively diminishes sunspots and other signs of sun damage, restoring a clearer complexion.
- Evens Skin Tone: Achieve a more uniform skin tone by reducing redness, hyperpigmentation, and discoloration.
- Improves Skin Clarity: Lumecca IPL enhances overall skin clarity, leaving you with a brighter and more radiant appearance.
- Non-Invasive and Minimal Downtime: This non-invasive treatment requires minimal downtime, allowing you to quickly return to your daily activities.

Preparing for Your Lumecca IPL Treatment
Before undergoing Lumecca IPL, it’s important to minimize sun exposure for at least two weeks prior to your treatment, discontinue the use of any retinoids, chemical exfoliants, or other potentially irritating products a few days before your appointment, and drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated and healthy.
What to Expect During and After Treatment
During your Lumecca IPL session, you may experience a mild warming or tingling sensation. The treatment is generally well-tolerated, and most sessions take less than 30 minutes. Afterward, you may notice some mild redness or darkening of treated spots, which will fade over the next few days.
Maintaining Your Results
To prolong the benefits of your Lumecca IPL treatment, it’s crucial to:
- Wear Sunscreen Daily: Protect your skin from further sun damage by applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher every day.
- Follow a Skincare Routine: Maintain a consistent skincare routine with gentle, hydrating products.
- Schedule Maintenance Sessions: Consider periodic maintenance treatments to sustain your results over time.
