Reveal clearer, brighter skin with one of the most powerful IPL treatments for pigmentation, redness and sun damage.
Advanced light-based treatment to target sun damage, redness and uneven pigmentation for radiant, youthful skin.
At Dr Hazel Skin Solutions in Long Itchington, near Leamington Spa, we offer Lumecca IPL – one of the most advanced light-based technologies for treating pigmentation, redness and sun damage.
Using powerful bursts of intense pulsed light, Lumecca safely targets unwanted pigment and vascular lesions to restore a clearer, brighter and more even complexion.
Whether you’re concerned about age spots, sun damage, rosacea or visible veins, Lumecca delivers noticeable results with minimal downtime.
What is Lumecca IPL?
Lumecca is a next-generation Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment that delivers up to three times more energy in the 500–600nm range compared with standard IPL systems.
This allows for faster, more effective results in just 1–3 sessions, making it one of the most efficient treatments for pigmentation and redness.
Lumecca can safely treat most areas of the face and body – including the face, neck, décolletage, hands, arms and legs – and is suitable for a range of skin tones thanks to its advanced handpieces that adapt to your skin type.

Sun damage and uneven pigmentation
Age spots and freckles
Rosacea and facial redness

How Lumecca Works
During treatment, bright pulses of light penetrate the skin and are absorbed by areas of excess pigment or visible blood vessels.
This light energy is converted into gentle heat, breaking down unwanted pigment and closing small capillaries while leaving the surrounding tissue unharmed.
Over the following days, the treated areas darken slightly before naturally fading, revealing clearer, more radiant skin.

Treatment details
First, we will conduct a comprehensive consultation before treatment.
Next, we will take your photographs, complete your medical history, and obtain your consent for treatment.
After cleansing, applying a topical gel and eye protection, short pulses of light are delivered through the Lumecca handpiece.
You’ll feel a quick “snap” sensation, often compared to an elastic band flick, but treatment is generally well-tolerated.
Sessions usually take 20–45 minutes, depending on the area treated.
Mild redness may occur afterwards and usually settles within a few hours.
You can return to normal activities immediately, though SPF protection is essential.
Results and recovery
Many patients notice an improvement in skin clarity after just one session, with further gains over the next few weeks as pigmentation breaks down and new collagen forms.
For best results, a course of 2–3 treatments spaced around 4 weeks apart is typically recommended.
Results can last for 12 months or more with good sun protection and maintenance treatments once or twice a year.
