Improve Your Skin With Light Energy

IPL, or Intense Pulsed Light, is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that uses a broad spectrum of light energy to target various skin concerns, such as sun damage, pigmentation, and redness. The Lumecca technology used by Amplify Wellness Medspa emits high-intensity light pulses that penetrate deep into the skin to stimulate collagen production, which reduces fine lines and wrinkles. IPL treatments can be tailored to specific skin types and conditions.

IPL FAQs

What makes IPL with Lumecca unique?

What makes IPL with Lumecca unique is its ability to attract pigment more efficiently and with less energy, resulting in minimal discomfort, downtime, and reduced risk of skin burns. Lumecca’s advanced technology allows quicker pigmentation treatment, typically requiring only two sessions compared to 5-6 with other devices.

How does IPL work?

IPL treatments use broad-spectrum light energy to target specific chromophores, which are structures in the skin that absorb light. The Lumecca device emits high-intensity light pulses that penetrate deep into the skin, selectively heating and destroying unwanted pigments or blood vessels. This process triggers the body’s natural healing response, stimulating collagen production and promoting cellular turnover for smoother, more even-toned skin.

Is IPL therapy safe?

The light energy used in IPL photofacial in Santa Rosa is calibrated to specific wavelengths and frequencies, making it safe and effective for treating various skin conditions while minimizing the risk of damage to surrounding tissue.

What happens during the IPL session?

During your IPL session, your medical provider will cleanse your skin and apply a cooling gel to the treatment area. The Lumecca device will be positioned over the skin, and a series of light pulses will be emitted. You may feel a slight warming or snapping sensation during the treatment, but discomfort is generally minimal. After the session, your provider will apply a soothing cream and provide aftercare instructions to optimize your results.

What are the side effects of IPL?

While IPL is generally safe, some patients may experience mild side effects such as redness, swelling, and temporary darkening or lightening of the skin. These effects typically resolve within a few days to a week.

Is there any downtime after IPL?

Most patients experience little to no downtime after IPL treatments with Lumecca. You may have to avoid strenuous workouts and direct sunlight for a day or two, but you can resume most of your normal activities immediately.

When will I see the results of IPL?

Results from IPL photofacial in Santa Rosa can be seen within a few days to a week after the session. Optimal results may take a few weeks to appear, depending on your skin concerns.

How long do the IPL effects last?

The longevity of IPL varies, depending on individual factors such as skin type and lifestyle habits. With proper maintenance, results can last for several months to a year or more.

How many IPL treatments do I need for optimal results?

The number of IPL treatments needed for optimal results depends on individual skin concerns. Most patients require 2-3 treatments spaced 2-4 weeks apart for maximum benefits.
