With a perpetually evolving market and an increasing number of patients seeking a more non-invasive means of achieving natural-looking results from aesthetic treatments, InMode has worked hard to keep up. To ensure your clinic is ahead of the curve and can deliver consistent, repeatable and transformational results to a wider range of clients, discover why Lumecca is endorsed by Australian skin specialists and doctors in treating some of the most common signs of ageing.
With Australia’s intense UV index and outdoor lifestyle, many patients experience early signs of skin ageing due to their sun exposure. From hyperpigmentation to sun spots, InMode’s premier solution is revolutionising the way sun-damaged skin can be treated.
Meet Lumecca, our IPL applicator that delivers up to three times more energy in the 500-600nm range to effectively treat benign pigmented epidermal lesions, including dyschromia, hyperpigmentation, and freckles.
With conventional IPL, many patients require anywhere from four to six treatments to achieve their desired results. By contrast, the optimised power of Lumecca allows you to deliver complete photorejuvenation and remove the visible signs of sun damage in as little as one or two treatments.
Dr Bruce Williamson from SkinSmart Medical Services in Sydney recently shared why InMode’s Lumecca is the best IPL machine he’s ever had. Dr Bruce Williamson has worked in Skin Cancer and Cosmetic Medicine for over 20 years. Having grown up on the Northern Beaches himself, he’s no stranger to the sun, and as a result, he developed an interest in the use of lasers and energy-based systems for skin rejuvenation. He opened SkinSmart in 2014, where he offers a range of non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatments and promises personalised service to deliver excellent results.
Why do you love the Lumecca technology so much?
“First off, it’s a part of an InMode device, it’s an add-on to a platform that can also provide RF micro needling, bulk heating and various other modalities, making quite a versatile piece of equipment. However, the Lumecca as an IPL, I have had three other IPL devices in my clinic previously and this is far and away the best machine I’ve ever had. It’s what I tell my patients IPL always should have always been, but never quite was with the previous machines I’ve had.”
What does this mean for your patients?
“From a practical point of view, what it means for patients is that when they ask me how many treatments it’s going to take, I used to say 3-5 treatments with IPL and now I say 1-3. You get such great pick up in the pigment with this [Lumecca] that you get an excellent result in as little as 2-3 treatments.
Who can benefit from Lumecca?
“Lumecca has two filters, it has a 515nm standard head which I use on most of my patients, but it also has a 580nm cut off filter which you can use on quite dark skins and we’ve seen great success with that.”
What makes Lumecca so unique?
“The Lumecca has been optimised to the energies in the visible spectrum so that there’s a great pick up in the redness we’re trying to treat but a lot less of the bulk heating, therefore the total power you need to use is less and the discomfort for the patient is less and there’s less swelling and redness afterwards and your patients recover more quickly. The other thing [InMode] have done with Lumecca is they’ve made the pulses very short and the short pulses enable you to select out pigments more easily and basically infer less general heating to the skin. For both of those reasons it’s a very comfortable, very effective IPL.”
How have you integrated Lumecca into your clinic?
“It’s a complexion treatment rather than a resurfacing or texture treatment, it’s great for evening out the sun damage marks, the brown discolouration and redness. We do a lot of combination treatments with the Lumecca where we’ll do Lumecca first and then we’ll do an RF Micro-needling treatment after to treat both the pigment and the skin texture.”
