Erase sun damage, age spots, and redness with advanced IPL Lumecca technology. This powerful light-based treatment corrects pigment and vascular issues, revealing a clearer, more even complexion in just 1–3 sessions.
IPL Lumecca at Royal Medical Spa in Guelph is an advanced intense pulsed light treatment that corrects sun damage, age spots, pigmentation, and redness with dramatic results in just 1-3 sessions and minimal downtime.
IPL Lumecca emits intense pulsed light at specific wavelengths that target both pigment and vascular lesions beneath the skin's surface. The light energy is absorbed by melanin and hemoglobin, causing them to break down naturally. Dark spots darken further and then flake away, while redness fades as blood vessels close. The result is a more even, luminous complexion.
IPL Lumecca treatments are fast, typically 30 minutes for the full face. Most patients need only 1–3 sessions for dramatic improvement. Results appear within 1–2 weeks as dark spots flake away and redness resolves. Maintenance can be done annually to preserve results.
Lumecca is part of InMode's Optimas platform and delivers up to 3x more energy than standard IPL devices in the 500–600nm wavelength range — the optimal spectrum for targeting melanin and hemoglobin. This amplified energy output is what allows Lumecca to produce dramatic results in just 1–3 sessions, where older IPL systems typically require 5–6.
The device operates across a broad 515–1200nm wavelength range with a large spot size and high pulse repetition rate, allowing your provider to treat the full face quickly and efficiently. InMode's precision engineering ensures consistent energy delivery across every pulse, so you get uniform correction of pigment and vascular concerns with predictable, reliable outcomes.
IPL targets both pigment issues (age spots, freckles, sun damage) and vascular concerns (redness, rosacea, broken capillaries). It corrects discoloration and evens skin tone.
You'll feel a mild snapping or popping sensation, like a rubber band snap. Many patients find it very tolerable with minimal discomfort.
Most patients see excellent results after 1–3 sessions. Your provider will assess your skin and recommend the ideal treatment plan.
Minimal downtime. You may see some redness for a few hours post-treatment, but most patients can apply makeup and return to activities immediately.
Dark spots darken and begin flaking within days. Full results appear 1–2 weeks after treatment as all treated pigment resolves naturally.
IPL Lumecca is most effective on lighter skin types with dark spots or redness. Darker skin types may have limited results. Your provider will assess suitability during a consultation.
Yes. Avoid sun for 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after treatment. Use broad-spectrum SPF 30+ even on cloudy days to protect your treated skin.
