Vascular lesions are a common concern among patients, and, as such, it is important that your clinic offers effective and safe skin remodelling solutions.  InMode’s Lumecca and Vasculaze treatments are two technologies on our cutting-edge INMODE PRO suite that have been specifically designed to target a variety of vascular lesions. Continue reading to learn more about how to remove vascular lesions and the benefits of investing in InMode technology for your clinic. What Are Vascular Lesions? Vascular lesions encompass a wide range of skin conditions characterised by abnormalities in blood vessels. These lesions often present as visible discolourations on the skin, appearing as red, purple, or blue marks. They can arise from a variety of causes, such as genetic factors, aging, hormonal changes, sun exposure, trauma, or certain medical conditions.  Types of Vascular Lesions Several types of vascular lesions exist, including spider veins, varicose veins, port-wine stains, hemangiomas, and cherry angiomas.    Spider veins: small dilated blood vessels resembling spider webs. Varicose veins: enlarged, twisted veins typically found in the legs. Port-wine stains: flat, pink to dark red birthmarks caused by abnormal blood vessel development. Hemangiomas: benign tumours consisting of abnormal clusters of blood vessels.  Cherry angiomas: small, bright red lesions that appear with age.  The type of vascular lesion you have will affect the recommended treatment option, which is why it’s always a good idea to first seek advice from a healthcare professional prior to treatment. How Do Vascular Lesions Affect Our Health? Vascular lesions, in most cases, are benign and do not pose significant health risks. However, spider veins, varicose veins, or port-wine stains can cause cosmetic concerns and affect self-esteem.  Rare complications can occur, such as discomfort from large varicose veins, including pain, swelling and bleeding. If concerned about a vascular lesion, you should immediately reach out to your healthcare professional for a full evaluation. InMode’s Technologies for Vascular Lesions InMode’s suite of technologies includes two devices that can be used to minimise the appearance of vascular lesions: Vasculaze and Lumecca. Vasculaze Vasculaze harnesses IPL to treat a variety of vascular lesions, specifically targeting the haemoglobin with its high peak power. Utilising an ergonomic headset, Vasculaze targets the problem blood vessels directly, which drastically improves the safety and comfortability of your patient’s experience compared to other similar treatment methods.  Similar to Lumecca, the post-pulse contact cooling is optimised to further ensure the safety of your patients without any compromise on efficiency.  When it comes to the utilisation of IPL technology in clinics, we know that safety is at the top of every doctor’s list. It is for this reason that Dr M. Gold endorses our Vasculaze technology, stating, “Vasculaze is a safe and effective treatment for clearing up unwanted spider veins and other visible lesions.” Lumecca Our breakthrough Lumecca technology utilises IPL to treat a variety of vascular lesions faster than any other IPL. With a large spot size and high pulse repetition rate, Lumecca reduces your patient’s treatment time drastically. The number of required treatments is also reduced due to the concentrated energy the 500-600 nm range facilitates. Specifically, most of your patients will see complete photo rejuvenation in just 1 or 2 treatments; this is compared with standard IPLs, which take 4-6 treatments to garner the same results.  What’s more, while other technologies compromise on patient comfort in order to increase efficiency, Lumecca maintains peak power whilst still utilising a state-of-the-art sapphire cooling tip to maximise patient comfort and safety. Which Technology Should I Use? Both Lumecca and Vasculaze treat facial veins, port wine stains, telangiectasias (truncal and leg) and angiomas and spider angiomas. However, each technology has been expertly designed to target different problem areas and, thus, should be employed accordingly. Along with the above, Lumecca is best utilised for patients with rosacea, erythema of rosacea, poikiloderma of Civatte, superficial leg veins and venous malformations. Contrastingly, Vasculaze has been developed to heal and alleviate prominent veins by precisely targeting the pressure points of the vein network to treat the blemish. As a result, along with the above, Vasculaze is best utilised for vascular issues on legs, arms, upper thighs, back of thighs and lower legs. Bear in mind that Vasculaze cannot treat varicose veins.

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.” Listen to the full interview with Plastic Surgery Hub and Dr Bruce Williamson from Skin Smart Clinic in Sydney.

The sun is the source of all energy, and when it shines down on our skin, it makes vitamin D and helps keep us healthy. But too much of a good thing, even sunshine, can lead to adverse effects that ultimately damage the skin. To help fight back against the damaging effects of the sun’s rays, meet Lumecca: InMode’s breakthrough intense pulsed light (IPL) skin rejuvenation technology. Lumecca allows clinicians to treat a variety of skin types and conditions with just a session or two, as opposed to the four to six treatments you might expect with other standard IPL devices. What is IPL? Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is a groundbreaking technology that uses light therapy to target various skin issues, including the effects of sun damage. IPL has become a sought-after procedure due to its ability to correct a wide range of skin conditions. In the realm of IPL technology, InMode's Lumecca technology is a game changer. Lumecca uses a process in which light energy is converted to heat to target specific structures within the skin. With its powerful light delivery system, Lumecca is a form of IPL that can effectively reach and treat various skin concerns, from sun damage and pigmentation to vascular lesions and rosacea. What Causes Sun Damage? Sun damage is the effect of overexposure to the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays on our skin. The sun emits two types of rays that reach our skin, UVA and UVB. Both play a significant role in causing premature skin ageing, as well as eye damage and skin cancers. UVA Rays UVA rays make up the majority of our sun exposure and are present throughout the day. They penetrate deeper into the skin and play a major role in skin ageing and wrinkling. Extended exposure to UVA rays can cause long-term damage to the skin's connective tissues, leading to a loss of elasticity and the formation of wrinkles. UVB Rays On the other hand, UVB rays cause most skin reddening and sunburn. These rays tend to damage the skin's more superficial epidermal layers. It's the UVB rays that are primarily responsible for changes in skin colour, including dark spots, uneven pigmentation, and dreaded sunburns. Both UVA and UVB rays can disrupt the normal structures of different layers of the skin. Over time, this leads to changes in the skin's texture, colour, and structural integrity. It can cause an array of problems like hyperpigmentation, coarse or leathery skin, dilated blood vessels, and more. Aside from UV rays, factors like your geographical location, altitude, time of year, and even time of day can impact the intensity of sun damage. Australia, in particular, is known for having some of the world’s highest levels of UV radiation due to its proximity to the equator and often clear conditions. Its ozone layer has been significantly depleted over the years, too, making it less effective at blocking the sun's harmful rays. Despite our best efforts to protect our skin with diligent use of SPF, some sun damage can be inevitable. Fortunately, InMode's Lumecca, a specialised IPL skin rejuvenation tool, is meticulously engineered to rectify skin damage caused by years of sun exposure and help restore your skin's clarity and health. How Does IPL Repair Sun Damage? IPL therapy is a non-surgical procedure that employs potent flashes of visible light to enhance the condition of skin affected by sun damage and signs of ageing. The light energy is absorbed by the skin, triggering the body's natural healing process, leading to the removal of damaged cells and the production of new, healthy ones. This process can help to even out skin colour, reduce redness, and improve the skin's overall texture. Stimulates Collagen Production Through a process called photorejuvenation, IPL therapy stimulates collagen production. When the IPL's light pulses hit the skin, they are converted into heat energy. This controlled heat effectively triggers a healing response in the deeper layers of the skin. As part of this healing process, the skin cells start to produce more collagen, a protein that's vital for maintaining the skin's elasticity and firmness. The end result is a noticeable improvement in skin texture and a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Reduces Pigmentation IPL therapy’s high-intensity light pulses are absorbed by melanin, the pigment responsible for dark spots and freckles. This light absorption heats the melanin, causing it to break up. These broken-up particles are then naturally removed by the body's immune system, leading to a reduction in the appearance of pigmented lesions and an overall more even skin tone. Improves Skin Texture & Tone By encouraging the growth of new skin cells and collagen, IPL can lead to smoother and more uniform skin. The heat generated by the light pulses also helps shrink enlarged pores and reduce redness, contributing to a more balanced and refined complexion overall. Minimises Fine Lines & Wrinkles Through its ability to boost collagen production, IPL therapy also helps minimise fine lines and wrinkles. When IPL's light energy prompts the body's natural healing process, it helps to fill in and smooth out fine lines and wrinkles. Enhances Overall Skin Appearance IPL therapy improves the overall look of your skin by treating multiple issues at once. It boosts collagen production to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, breaks down melanin to even out skin tone, and promotes new skin cell growth for smoother, more radiant skin. The result is a noticeably healthier-looking, refreshed appearance. InMode's Lumecca Technology InMode's Lumecca technology takes IPL treatment to the next level, providing a powerful solution for reversing sun damage by targeting pigmentation, vascular lesions, and improving overall skin texture and tone for a rejuvenated look and feel. In contrast to traditional IPL devices, Lumecca can deliver significant improvements in skin appearance and texture in fewer, non-invasive treatments, making it an ideal choice for both practitioners and patients whose goal is to achieve effective, efficient results. While the number of treatments can vary depending on the individual and the extent of the sun damage, IPL offers a promising solution for reversing the effects of sun damage.Find a provider of Lumecca treatments in your area today, and discover the magic of IPL for yourself!
