LUMECCA PEAK by INMODE

What Is Lumecca Peak IPL?

Lumecca Peak by InMode is a next-generation Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment, delivering up to 3  times more energy than standard IPL devices. This powerful yet comfortable treatment targets pigmentation, vascular lesions and uneven tone to rejuvenate the skin and restore a clearer, brighter complexion, with fewer sessions than traditional IPL.

We’re proud to be one of the first clinics in the UK to offer this advanced platform.

How Does Lumecca Peak Work?

Lumecca Peak delivers broad-spectrum light energy that penetrates the skin to:

• Break down excess melanin (for pigmentation)

• Collapse superficial blood vessels (for redness and flushing)

• Stimulate collagen production (for general skin rejuvenation)

The enhanced "Peak" technology delivers light to multiple skin depths more efficiently, allowing for stronger clinical results with fewer treatments.

What Concerns Can Lumecca Treat?

Lumecca Peak is ideal for patients seeking non-invasive treatment of:

• Hyperpigmentation: including sunspots, age spots and freckles

• Vascular lesions: such as spider veins, rosacea, facial flushing or broken capillaries

• Redness-prone skin: including post-acne redness, active acne or inflammatory flushing

• Uneven skin tone and texture

• General skin dullness or loss of glow: through its ability to boost collagen

Common treatment areas include the face, neck, décolletage, hands and forearms.

While Lumecca can improve superficial vascularity, leg thread veins respond better to microsclerotherapy and are not the primary indication for IPL.

For isolated clusters of thicker facial thread veins, such as those found on the side of our nose, it may be recommended that you have electrocautery treatment instead. Where cluster vessels and generalised redness co-exist then we may recommend a combination of the two.

More detailed information on facial thread vein treatments can be found here.

What to Expect from Treatment

Consultation and Patch Test:

You will undergo a full medical consultation before proceeding to determine the most suitable treatment regimen for you.

During your first visit we will carry out a patch test (required at least 24 hours in advance) to ensure suitability and optimal safety.

Your consultation fee is fully redeemable against the price of your first treatment session.

On the day:

• No anaesthetic is required as it is a very well-tolerated treatment

• A cooling gel is applied and protective goggles are worn

• The Lumecca device delivers light pulses that feel like a mild elastic snap against the skin

• The procedure takes around 30-45 minutes, depending on the area

• Immediately after treatment, you may experience some redness and warmth in the treated area: this usually settles within a few hours, though sensitive skin may remain pink for up to 48 hours.

How Many Sessions Are Needed?

• Most patients benefit from 2-3 treatments, spaced 4-6 weeks apart

• However, as everyone’s skin responds differently, some will see improvement after a single session whereas others may need 3-5 sessions.

• Pigmentation often improves more quickly than vascular conditions

• Thanks to the enhanced power of Lumecca Peak, many patients see better results in fewer sessions compared to traditional IPL systems

Who Is Not Suitable for Lumecca?

Lumecca is not suitable for darker skin tones (Fitzpatrick IV–VI) due to increased risk of pigmentation changes or burns.

Other contraindications include:

• Pregnancy or breastfeeding

• Patients under 21 years of age

• Pacemaker, defibrillator or metal implants in the area

• Current or history of skin cancer or precancerous lesions

• Severe concurrent conditions (cardiac disorders, epilepsy, uncontrolled hypertension, liver or kidney diseases)

• A history of diseases stimulated by heat, such as recurrent Herpes Simplex in the treatment area (must receive a prophylactic course of antivirals prior to treatment)

• Active eczema, psoriasis, infection or wounds in the treatment area

• History of keloids, very fragile skin, or impaired wound healing

• Treatment over tattoos or permanent make-up

You will be thoroughly assessed during consultation, and we’ll advise you of any precautions or if an alternative treatment is more suitable.

Aftercare
