Intense pulsed light
Lumecca IPL in Munich-Bogenhausen
Lumecca uses IPL technology with a broader spectrum of light than a laser with a defined wavelength. Skin type, current tanning and the nature of a skin change are essential to the assessment.

How does IPL work?
Certain target structures in the skin can absorb light energy and convert it into heat. The structures affected depend on the spectrum, filtering, energy, pulse duration, skin type and treatment goal.
What is assessed before a light-based treatment
Assessment begins by identifying the skin change present. Redness and pigmentation changes can have different causes. Not every change is suitable for an aesthetic light-based treatment.
The specific findings and possible alternatives must be established before a decision is made. Unexplained changes first require an examination by a doctor.
Skin changes must be assessed first
Not every red or brown mark is the same. New, unusual or changing pigmented skin lesions must be medically assessed before an aesthetic light-based treatment.
Sun exposure and aftercare
A current tan changes light absorption in the outermost skin layer and can increase the risk of adverse reactions. Consistent UV protection and appropriate scheduling are therefore essential.
Risks
Possible reactions include redness, swelling, burns, blisters, crusting, pigmentation changes and, rarely, scarring.
