Clear & Beautiful Skin with IPL

Lumecca is the most powerful intense pulsed light (IPL) on the market today and we have it at Chicago Aesthetics.

After just one use with Lumecca IPL, patients notice significant improvements in the complexion and clarity of the skin.*

IPL treatment by Lumecca works to even out your skin tone through comfortable light treatment. It improves your skin tone while decreasing hyperpigmentation caused by sun exposure and aging. After your treatments are complete, you will notice the overall look of your skin is more even and radiant.

We recommend getting your IPL treatment during the Fall months when your sun exposure is minimal and your skin is not tan. We also recommend avoiding any self-tanning products for at least a couple of weeks prior to your IPL treatment. When you're tan, your melanin is at the surface of the skin which will risk for hyperpigmentation or other adverse reactions.

The exact number of sessions will depend on the condition of your skin, what's being treated, and your skin type:

Vascular lesions - 3-5 sessions at 3-6 weeks intervals*
Pigmented lesions – 1-5 sessions at 3-4 weeks intervals*
Photorejuvenation – 1-5 sessions at 3-4 weeks intervals*

Does IPL hurt?

How do I prepare for my IPL treatment?

To prepare for your treatment, you should avoid skin irritation one month prior such as direct sun exposure, sunbathing, or tanning. Additionally, you should:

Stop the use of irritant topical products 1 week before your treatment. This includes retinol and tretinoin.
Stop the use of photosensitizing medications (antibiotics).
Stop the use of Accutane for 6 months.
Stop the use of self tanners on the face for 1 week and 2 weeks on the body.
Arrive to your appointment with clean skin (no makeup, lotions, perfume, jewelry or other skin products on the area being treated).

What is the downtime for IPL treatments?

How soon will I see results after my IPL treatment?

Following your treatment, you can expect redness and slight warming of the skin. This usually subsides within a few hours. Over the next week, pigmented spots may darken, pigmented lesions may flake off, and vascular lesions may change color. This is all normal, leading to a more even skin tone.

You may begin to see results directly after your first treatment. Skin complexion and sun damage results can be seen within a few days after your first treatment. Your skin will look younger and more radiant after 1-2 weeks. Vascular treatment results can be seen almost immediately with full results being seen 2 weeks following your IPL treatment.

The cost of your IPL treatment can range between $250 to $2600 depending on what areas, and how many, need treatment. We customize each treatment plan to each individual patient.
