At Kitsilano Medical Aesthetics, we make healthy skin the foundation of your journey.
As autumn settles into Vancouver with its cozy sweater and pumpkin spice vibe, it’s not just nature that benefits from a seasonal shift—this is one of the best times to focus on your skin.
After months of summer sun exposure, you may notice redness, fine lines, sunspots, or uneven texture. Fall is the perfect season for a skin reset. Dr. Kamani offers Lumecca IPLLaser in Vancouver, a state-of-the-art intense pulsed light system designed to rejuvenate the skin and reduce the appearance of redness, dark spots and large pores.
Why is Lumecca IPL Different?
For anyone interested in improving the appearance of their skin, Lumecca has emerged as the gold standard for IPL (Intense Pulsed Light), making it the obvious choice for our clinic. As a cutting-edge medical technology from InMode, the makers of Morpheus8, Lumecca delivers up to three times more energy to penetrate deeper and effectively target pigment and vascular lesions. For patients, that translates into quicker and easier sessions.
Key Differences
- Higher Power Output: Lumecca delivers a significantly stronger and more focused light energy compared to traditional IPL devices, allowing it to target and break down unwanted pigment and vascular lesions more efficiently.
- Fewer Sessions Required The increased power and larger treatment area mean Lumecca can achieve faster passes and visible improvements and desired results in fewer sessions, typically 1-2, compared to the 4-6 sessions with other IPL devices.
- Deeper Penetration: The higher intensity light allows Lumecca to penetrate deeper into the skin, making it highly effective for treating sun damage, acne scars, and redness from rosacea.
- More comfortable: The device’s handpiece features a sapphire tip that provides a strong cooling sensation, increasing patient comfort and often eliminating the need for a topical numbing agent. The innovative design offers greater comfort during treatment, making it more tolerable for individuals with sensitive skin.
Book a Fall Session for Lumecca IPL Laser in Vancouver
Although Lumecca can be performed year-round, Dr. Kamani recommends beginning IPL sessions in the fall. Typically, this is when accumulated sun damage from summer becomes more visible, and sun exposure decreases. Reduced UV exposure can help prevent post-treatment complications, like hyperpigmentation. It’s easier for skin to heal and rejuvenate.
For patients who want to address summer sun damage and reduce reliance on makeup, IPL is a powerful option for patients ready to make healthy skin the foundation of their journey.
