Discoloration of Skin with Lumecca

Laser technology offers a wide range of options for face and body rejuvenation. Lasers are intense beams of light that have different kinds of intensity. Laser treatment is safe, effective, and comfortable. Depending on the laser beam frequency, the laser penetrates the skin, repairs blood vessels, or stimulates collagen production. Lasers are used to rejuvenate and lift the skin. It also treats wrinkles, pigmentation problems, and other types of blemishes.

What is skin discoloration?

Any color change 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 spots, such as birthmarks, are harmless. But other spots are caused by underlying diseases. The change in the level of melanin in the body is one of the most common causes of skin color. It can cause spots in certain parts of the body. This substance gives color to our skin and protects it from the sun. So, it is natural that melanin changes in our body lead to skin color changes.

Hyperpigmentation laser treatment

Hyperpigmentation refers to an area of the skin that is darker than others. 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, dermatologists should examine sun-exposed skin annually.
• Melasma: These are brown spots that develop in women during pregnancy. This hyperpigmentation is sometimes due to hormonal changes or skin that is 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.

With quick and painless treatment, this device removes spots, spider veins, and pigmentation problems.

How many sessions are required?

Lumecca laser is an anti-aging treatment. This device works quickly; 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 ones.

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 accurate, the surrounding healthy tissue is not damaged. Lumecca is one of the best laser treatments for 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.
