What is Lumeca IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)
Lumeca IPL also known as a fotofacial laser is a cutting-edge treatment offered at the Vein Specialists Institute in La Quinta and Palm Desert. This advanced technology utilizes powerful pulses of light to target and address a variety of skin concerns, providing you with a clearer, more even complexion.
How Does it Work
Lumeca IPL works by emitting broad-spectrum light that penetrates the skin, effectively treating issues such as age spots, sun damage, spider veins, and rosacea. This non-invasive procedure stimulates collagen production, helping to enhance skin elasticity and improve overall texture.
