Overview

Lumecca by InMode is a laser / IPL treatment used for improving the skin’s clarity.

Clear, flawless skin is desired by many people, however, very few people have a complexion that is evenly toned and free of irregularities. In many cases the skin possesses freckles, and as one gets older, concerns such as: age spots, thread veins, pigmentation and the effects of sun damage can become evident.

These conditions mainly affect the face, neck and decolletage, contributing to the effects of ageing and a characteristically tired look.

IPL is a procedure that delivers powerful beams of light to the skin. It works on visible skin irregularities through a technique known as photo-thermolysis. This means the red and brown pigmented cells will absorb the lightwaves, pulling them closer to the skin’s surface.

As the cell has now been destroyed, it will gradually go darker and flake away from the skin. When the lightwaves are absorbed into the skin it will turn to heat. This can be beneficial for stimulating the production of collagen which can help to create firmer, fuller skin with tighter pores.

Here at The One Clinic we’ll carry out a thorough assessment of the skin before we recommend treatment. Laser / IPL treatment often requires a course of up to 3 treatments, although results can be seen after the first session.
