In intense pulsed light therapy, intense and powerful pulses of light are applied to the skin with spots or redness issues. It is used in the treatment of vascular (related to blood vessels) and melanocytic (dark-colored) lesions. 

Why is it applied? 

Skin blemishes (especially epidermal, i.e., superficial layer of the skin, blemishes) 

Solar lentigo, superficial seborrheic keratosis 

Age spots on the back of the hands 

Freckles 

Sun-induced skin aging 

Flushed face (associated with rosacea) 

Visible fine blood vessels 

APPLICATION AREAS 

It can be used on any area of the skin. It is commonly used on the face, back of the hands, neck, décolleté, arms, and areas exposed to sunlight. 

APPLICATION METHOD AND AFTERWARDS 

When applied to the face and neck, the procedure generally takes 25-30 minutes. Gel is applied to the skin, and it is performed with a cooling applicator. It is not a painful procedure. You may notice darkening of the spots 1-2 days after Lumecca treatment. About a week after treatment, pigmented lesions in the final stage of skin tone darkening will begin to peel off. In the treatment of vascular lesions, you may see the vessels fade or change color. Your skin will appear more vibrant and youthful one week after treatment. With repeated sessions (3-4 sessions), the results of collagen stimulation on the skin begin to be obtained, and smoothness and lifting effects on the skin become apparent after approximately 2 months. Typically, 3-4 sessions are applied every 3-6 weeks in all indications and can be repeated annually. The use of sunscreen is necessary for the effects to continue. When applied in appropriate doses and frequencies, a 60-80% improvement in spots is expected. 

POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS 

Individuals can continue their daily activities after the procedure. Patients may develop sensitivity to sunlight after treatment, but this sensitivity usually disappears within a few hours.
