After a prolonged summer of sunshine, outdoor activities, and long days enjoying beautiful Vancity, you may notice unwanted sunspots, freckles, blotchy pigmentation, or persistent redness. If your skin looks less even and toned than it did before summer, now is a great time to consider IPL photorejuvenation.
At Kitsilano Medical Aesthetics, we offer advanced Lumecca IPL in Vancouver. IPL therapy is a popular, non-invasive cosmetic procedure recommended to address concerns like pigmentation, skin texture, and broken capillaries without surgery. Dozens of IPL technologies are available today, but at Kitsilano Medical Aesthetics, we opted for Lumecca.
Lumecca IPL
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) skin rejuvenation delivers pulses of filtered light to target unwanted pigmentation and visible blood vessels. Unlike conventional lasers, which mostly use a specific wavelength, Lumecca delivers up to 3 times more energy in the 500–600 nm spectral range. For patients, this translates into better results in fewer sessions.
Built-in features allow Dr. Kamani to target unwanted pigmentation and vascular concerns. Lumecca’s sapphire cooling tip also improves comfort by cooling the skin’s surface during treatment. While many patients see noticeable improvements after one or two treatments, results vary depending on your skin goals and recommended plan.
At Kitsilano Medical Aesthetics, we offer Lumecca IPL in Vancouver to address a range of skin concerns, including:
- Sunspots and age spots
- Freckles and uneven pigmentation
- Facial redness associated with rosacea
- Broken capillaries and visible small blood vessels
- Signs of sun damage and uneven skin tone
Common treatment areas include the face, neck, décolletage, hands, and arms. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Kamani to discuss your goals and learn whether Lumecca IPL is right for you.
Why Is Fall the Best Time for IPL in Vancouver?
We generally recommend IPL in the fall when sun exposure is easier to manage, because days are shorter and cooler. IPL treatment requires careful preparation and aftercare. Recent tanning and excessive UV exposure can increase the risk of unwanted reactions, such as burns and changes in pigmentation. Patients must avoid tanning and follow Dr. Kamani’s sun-protection instructions before and after treatment.
What To Expect After Lumecca IPL?
IPL sessions are relatively quick, depending on the treatment area. During the procedure, you may feel a brief snapping sensation as the light pulses reach the skin. After treatment, you may experience temporary redness, warmth, or mild swelling. Pigmented spots may darken over the next few days before gradually fading or flaking away as the skin heals.
