Discoloration of Skin with Lumecca

Laser technology offers a wide range of options for face and body rejuvenation.  Lasers are intense and regular beams of light that vary in intensity. Depending on your needs and the frequency of the laser beam, the laser can penetrate the skin, repair blood vessels or work on deeper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production. Lasers are utilized in a variety of ways to rejuvenate and lift the skin, as well as to treat wrinkles, pigmentation problems, and other types of blemishes. Laser treatment is safe, effective, and comfortable.

What is skin discoloration?

Any color change that is different from the original skin color is called skin discoloration.

These changes make the skin look dull and uneven. These spots appear in red, pink, brown, purple, blue, and black colors.

Some of these spots, such as birthmarks, are harmless, while others are caused by underlying diseases.

One of the most common causes of skin color change is the change in the level of melanin in the body, which causes spots in certain parts of the body.

Melanin is the substance that gives color to the skin and protects it from sunlight. As the level of melanin in the body changes, the color of the skin also changes.

Hyperpigmentation laser treatment

Hyperpigmentation refers to an area of the skin that is relatively darker in color than other areas. This condition develops when the level of melanin in the body increases. It is a common disease that affects people of all skin types.

Burns, acne, bruises, or other skin injuries increase melanin in the body. In turn, increased melanin causes dark spots.

The most common causes of hyperpigmentation are:

• Skin damage: Acne or eczema can lead to inflammation and cause pigment-producing cells to leave behind dark spots after the damage heals.
• Sun exposure: UV rays cause melanin to be produced to protect your skin from damage. Although sunspots are not necessarily cancerous, sun-exposed skin should be examined annually by a dermatologist.
• Melasma: These are brown spots that develop in women during pregnancy. This type of hyperpigmentation is sometimes due to hormonal changes or skin that is simply sensitive to sun damage.

Hyperpigmentation is often harmless and may require no treatment at all. However, some people may want to remove it. For them, a laser with Lumecca is the best choice.

Lumecca treatment

Lumecca is a powerful, intense pulsed light (IPL), and an effective treatment.

This device removes spots, spider veins, and pigmentation problems with a quick and painless treatment.

How many sessions are required?

Lumecca laser is an anti-aging treatment. This device works very fast, and you can see remarkable results after 1-3 sessions. Compare that to the 4-6 sessions you would need if you opt for treatment with other devices.

What are the benefits of Lumecca?

• Lumecca has quickly become the device of choice because of its unique cooling part.
• Lumecca can be used on all skin types and colors, especially darker skin.

What does Lumecca treat?

Lumecca improves the appearance of the skin after only one session, and can treat:

• Age spots (red/brown pigmentations);
• Sun damage;
• Spider Veins;
• Rosacea (redness);
• Freckles;
• Port wine stains;
• Leg telangiectasia; and
• Melasma.

How does it work?

The Lumecca device targets pigmented areas by using specific wavelengths of light. These wavelengths interact with the red and brown pigments of the skin in such a way that the pigments absorb light.

Since radiation therapy is very accurate, the surrounding healthy tissue is not damaged. Lumecca is one of the best laser treatments out there, especially for treating sun damage and pigmentation.

What areas can be treated?

Lumecca can safely be used to treat all parts of the body. Of course, it is commonly used on the parts that are more exposed to sunlight.

How quickly will I see results?

The results are visible a few days after the first session. Skin will improve over time and the final outcome will be noticeable after 1-2 weeks.

Does treatment with Lumecca have any side effects?

Most patients experience no side effects, and any skin reactions usually resolve within a few hours.
