Years of sun exposure, hormonal changes, and the natural aging process can leave behind a complexion marked by dark spots, uneven tone, redness, and visible vessels — but you don't have to live with it. Lumecca by InMode is one of the most powerful IPL photofacial treatments available today, delivering dramatic improvements in skin clarity and tone with little to no downtime. At Hudson Dermatology, Dr. Neera Agarwal-Antal offers Lumecca IPL as part of a comprehensive menu of cosmetic dermatology services designed to help patients in Hudson, Akron, and Cleveland look and feel their best.
Lumecca is a breakthrough intense pulsed light (IPL) technology that delivers up to three times more energy than traditional IPL devices, making it significantly more effective for treating pigmentation, sun damage, rosacea, and vascular lesions — often in just one to two sessions.
If you've been searching for an IPL photofacial near you or a skin rejuvenation treatment that delivers real, visible results, request an appointment today to find out if Lumecca is right for your skin.
Lumecca is an advanced IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) device developed by InMode, designed specifically to treat pigmented and vascular lesions with exceptional speed and efficacy. Unlike lasers, which use a single wavelength of light, IPL delivers broad-spectrum light pulses that penetrate the skin at varying depths, targeting both melanin (responsible for dark spots and pigmentation) and hemoglobin (responsible for redness and visible vessels) simultaneously. During treatment, the light energy is absorbed by the targeted chromophores in the skin, causing pigmented lesions to break up and vascular lesions to close and fade — all without damaging the surrounding skin. What sets Lumecca apart from other IPL devices is its exceptionally high peak power, which allows it to achieve results that typically require four to six sessions with older IPL technology in just one to two treatments.

Lumecca is a versatile skin rejuvenation treatment effective for a wide range of concerns, including sun damage and sun spots, age spots and freckles, hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone, rosacea and facial redness, visible blood vessels and broken capillaries, vascular lesions, and dull or lackluster complexion. Lumecca can be used on the face, neck, décolletage, hands, arms, and legs — making it an excellent option for patients looking to address sun damage and pigmentation across multiple areas of the body.
A Lumecca IPL session is quick, comfortable, and requires no downtime. During treatment, a cooling gel is applied to the skin, and the Lumecca handpiece is passed over the treatment area, delivering precise pulses of light. Most patients describe the sensation as a mild warmth with a brief elastic snap similar to a light rubber band flick. Sessions typically take under an hour, and most patients return to their normal activities immediately afterward. In the days following treatment, pigmented spots may temporarily appear darker before flaking off to reveal clearer, more even-toned skin beneath — a normal and expected part of the process indicating that the treatment successfully reached its target. Most patients see significant improvements after just one session, with optimal results typically achieved after two to three treatments spaced about a month apart.
Lumecca IPL before and after results are often dramatic — patients frequently report a noticeably clearer, brighter, and more even complexion after just a single session. Dark spots, sun damage, and redness are visibly reduced as pigmented and vascular lesions break down and fade over the days and weeks following treatment. Full results continue to improve over the weeks after each session as the skin's natural healing process progresses. Dr. Agarwal-Antal and her team will walk you through realistic Lumecca before and after expectations during your consultation, including how many treatments may be recommended for your specific skin concerns.
The cost of Lumecca IPL treatment varies depending on the number of sessions recommended and the areas being treated. During your consultation, Dr. Agarwal-Antal will evaluate your skin, discuss your goals, and provide a clear, transparent pricing breakdown so you know exactly what to expect before moving forward. Because Lumecca is a cosmetic treatment, it is generally not covered by insurance. The Hudson Dermatology team is happy to discuss pricing and payment options.
Lumecca has been approved for a wide range of skin types and is an effective pigmentation treatment and skin sun damage treatment for many patients. However, candidates should avoid having an active tan — real or self-tanned — at the time of treatment, as the device is attracted to color and a tan can affect both results and safety. During your consultation at Hudson Dermatology, Dr. Agarwal-Antal will evaluate your skin tone, review your medical history, and determine whether Lumecca is the right treatment for your specific concerns and goals.
