What’s Normal?
- Temporary redness or warmth
- Darkening of brown spots (“coffee-ground” appearance)
- Gradual fading over 5–10 days
- This is a normal and expected part of the process.
If sun damage, redness, or uneven skin tone are making your complexion look tired, Lumecca IPL offers a powerful, non-invasive way to restore clarity and radiance.
At Deco De Mode, we provide advanced Lumecca IPL treatments at our Victoria and Sidney, BC locations, helping clients safely correct pigmentation, redness, and texture with minimal downtime.
Lumecca is an advanced form of Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology designed to deliver higher peak power than traditional IPL systems. This allows it to target brown and red pigmentation more effectively — often in fewer sessions.
Unlike standard IPL, Lumecca is known for:
-Faster visible results
-Stronger correction of sun damage and redness
-Improved comfort and precision
It’s commonly used on the face, neck, chest, hands, arms, and legs.


Lumecca is suitable for all parts of the body. The most common treatment areas are those that are regularly exposed to the sun. These are often the face, neck, décolleté, legs, hands and arms.
Benefits include:
Skin Rejuvenation: The treatment stimulates collagen and elastin production, which are essential for maintaining skin firmness and elasticity. This helps in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, giving your skin a youthful glow.
Pigmented Lesions: Lumecca IPL effectively targets melanin, reducing sunspots and hyperpigmentation, resulting in a more uniform complexion. The light energy disrupts excess pigment, which is then naturally eliminated by the body.
Vascular Lesions: The treatment addresses issues like rosacea and broken capillaries by targeting oxyhemoglobin, which is present in red blood cells. The heat generated coagulates these vessels, leading to a reduction in redness and an overall clearer complexion.
Recommended: 2–4 sessions, with maintenance twice yearly.
Our Lumecca Body Radiance treatment rejuvenates commonly overlooked areas like the arms, hands, and chest, reducing discoloration and redness while restoring a youthful, even tone.
Benefits include:
-Sunspot and pigmentation reduction
-Reduced redness and vascular visibility
-Smoother, firmer skin texture
What to Expect:
Our body treatments are tailored to your unique skin goals, with a customized plan designed to achieve optimal, long-lasting results. You’ll see improvements within 4–7 days, with continued rejuvenation over 3 months as collagen production increases.

Lumecca IPL is ideal for addressing:
-Sunspots and age spots
-Hyperpigmentation
-Redness and rosacea
-Broken capillaries and spider veins
-Uneven skin tone
-Dull or photo-aged skin
Clients often notice a brighter, clearer complexion within the first week.
During treatment, controlled pulses of light penetrate the skin and target:
-Melanin (brown pigment)
-Oxyhemoglobin (redness and visible vessels)
The light energy gently breaks down unwanted pigment and vessels, which your body naturally clears over time.
At the same time, the skin is stimulated to produce more collagen and elastin, improving overall texture and firmness.


Lumecca IPL uses intense pulsed light to carefully target and treat skin conditions through selective photothermolysis.
No. IPL treatments carry a higher risk of complications on tanned or sun-exposed skin. We recommend fully fading any tan and avoiding sun exposure for several weeks before your appointment to ensure safety and best results.
Yes — this is expected. Brown pigment will often darken temporarily (sometimes appearing like coffee grounds or freckles), then naturally flake or fade away over 5–10 days.
Yes. Light, non-irritating makeup can typically be worn the next day. We recommend mineral makeup for the first few days. Avoid heavy or occlusive products if any redness or swelling is present.
Yes — Lumecca is highly effective for reducing facial redness, rosacea, and spider veins. During your consultation, we will assess whether IPL is appropriate for your specific condition and skin tone.
In rare cases, IPL may cause temporary hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation, especially if aftercare instructions are not followed or if treatment is done on recently sun-exposed or darker skin. Strict sun avoidance is key to minimizing this risk.
Treatments are typically spaced 4 weeks apart to allow your skin to heal fully and achieve the best cumulative results.
Lumecca results can be long-lasting with proper sun protection and maintenance. Periodic touch-up treatments may be recommended to maintain clear, even-toned skin.
