How Lumecca treatment works & what it does

Redness and a slight warming of the skin are normal after treatment and usually subside within an hour. Over the next one to two days, you may notice a darkening of pigmented spots. In the weeks following, the pigmented lesions will clear, leading to an evening out of the skin tone. After treating vascular lesions, you may see the vein blanch or a color change in the vessel, which will dissipate after a few days.

An improved skin appearance can be noted after the first session. Multiple sessions provide even better results.

Individual results may vary, and contraindications may apply. Must be performed by an experienced, licensed professional.
