IPL Photofacial
Flawless-Looking SkinBrown spots, sun damage, spider veins, and discoloration are common signs of premature aging. Unfortunately, over-the-counter skincare products can do very little to treat these skin concerns. Here at BodyBrite Toronto, we have a better solution, the IPL (Intense Pulse Light) Photofacial.
With an IPL photofacial treatment, you can significantly reduce the appearance of brown spots, hyperpigmentation, discoloration of the skin, sun damage and more and get a younger-looking complexion.
This type of facial treatment works with advanced Intense Pulse Lighting technology by delivering heat through several layers of skin, correcting imperfections in the process without compromising the surrounding tissue.

Our Lumecca™ IPL Photofacial Technology
Lumecca™ is an intense pulsed light (IPL) treatment used at BodyBrite Toronto locations for a wide variety of skin conditions that helps improve skin tone and decrease hyperpigmentation. Ageing, sun spots, rosacea, vascular lesions, and even acne are some of the many skin problems Lumecca™ is designed to treat.
The treatment involves sending beams of light and heat into your skin tissue, which breaks up discoloration on your face by constricting facial veins close to the surface of the skin. Once the skin is heated, the treated area will rid itself of the unwanted cells while also boosting collagen production. With increase collagen levels, your skin will become remodeled to make it look and feel stronger and healthier.

What Areas Can Lumecca™ IPL Treat?
Lumecca™ is safe to be used all over the body, however, patients most often target areas of the skin that are regularly exposed to the sun. This includes the face, neck, chest, legs, hands, and arms.
Lumecca™ is considered a photofacial, meaning it targets skin damage that is caused or exacerbated by the sun. Through intentional or unintentional tanning and exposure to UVA and UVB rays, photodamage will occur over time—resulting in sun spots, fine lines, and other skin irregularities like large pores. As we age, these problems can become more visible and may require aesthetic treatments.
This treatment is safe for patients with skin types 1, 2 and 3. For lighter and darker skin types, you can rely on Lumecca™‘s advanced technology to treat various skin areas and conditions with its wide range of wavelengths that adjust to you skin’s natural pigmentation better than traditional IPL. Our team of highly trained professionals will ensure that your treatment is performed safely and effectively.
