InMode · Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Handpiece

Lumecca

The most powerful IPL device available — delivering up to 3x more energy than comparable intense pulsed light devices for superior clearance of pigmentation, sun damage, vascular lesions, and rosacea. Lumecca treats in fewer sessions with immediate visible results after the first treatment.

Up to 3x More EnergyHighest energy output IPL available — fewer sessions for superior clearance
Dual Wavelength515nm and 580nm filters for pigmentation, vascular, and photo-rejuvenation
Single-Session ResultsVisible improvement after one treatment — reduced number of sessions overall
Real-Time CoolingIntegrated contact cooling for patient comfort and epidermal protection
Clinically proven

Areas Treated

Lumecca treats a broad range of skin conditions caused by sun damage, pigmentation, and vascular irregularities across the face and body.

Face — Pigmentation
Sun spots, age spots, freckles, melasma, and diffuse hyperpigmentation across the full face and forehead.
Vascular Lesions
Spider veins, telangiectasias, rosacea erythema, port wine stains, and diffuse facial redness.
Photo-Rejuvenation
Comprehensive photo-damage correction — improving skin tone, texture, and radiance in a combined treatment approach.
Neck & Décolletage
Sun damage, redness, and pigmentation on the neck and chest area with the same single-pass efficiency.
Hands & Forearms
Age spots and sun-damaged skin on the dorsal hands and forearms — common areas of cumulative UV exposure.
Leg Veins
Superficial leg telangiectasias and spider veins with appropriate fluence and wavelength settings.

Treatment Parameters

Lumecca uses InMode's proprietary photon recycling technology to deliver higher peak power in a shorter pulse duration. Treatment parameters are controlled via the workstation interface and depend on skin type, target condition, and fluence setting.

Clinical Notes

Always test with a lower fluence on a small area before full treatment. Avoid treatment on actively tanned skin and discontinue retinoids 5–7 days prior. Apply chilled ultrasound gel to the treatment area. Sessions are typically spaced 3–4 weeks apart. Post-treatment sun protection is essential.

FAQs

Common questions about Lumecca. Contact STERN Laser for clinical guidance specific to your practice.

Lumecca uses photon recycling technology that captures and redirects light energy that would otherwise be lost, resulting in up to 3x higher peak power compared to conventional IPL devices. This allows effective treatment in fewer sessions and with more reliable clearance of stubborn pigmentation and vascular conditions.
Lumecca can be used on Fitzpatrick IV–V skin types using the 580nm filter and reduced fluence settings. It is not recommended for Fitzpatrick VI or actively tanned skin. Patch testing is mandatory before full treatment on skin types IV and above.
Most patients describe a brief snapping sensation similar to a rubber band with each pulse. The integrated contact cooling significantly reduces discomfort. Topical anaesthetic is not typically required, though it can be used for very sensitive patients.
The high energy output means visible improvement is often achieved in fewer sessions than standard IPL — typically 1–3 sessions for moderate pigmentation, spaced 3–4 weeks apart. Vascular lesions may require 2–3 sessions depending on severity.
