Lumecca IPL®
Reveal radiant skin with Lumecca IPL, the gold standard in intense pulsed light therapy. Offered in both Toronto and Mississauga.
Understanding Lumecca IPL Technology
Lumecca is a high-powered Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment made by InMode, designed to improve skin tone, clarity, and overall appearance by targeting pigmented and vascular lesions in the skin. It is often considered one of the most advanced IPL systems because it delivers higher peak power and more precise wavelengths than traditional IPL devices, leading to faster and more visible results, often in fewer sessions.
IPL uses a broad spectrum of light. Lumecca filters this light to specifically target:
- Melanin (brown pigmentation)
- Hemoglobin (redness and blood vessels)
When the light energy is absorbed, it converts to heat, breaking down unwanted pigment and vessels while leaving the surrounding skin intact.
Our Client's Reviews
let’s talk
What is Lumecca IPL®?
Also known as the Lumecca facial, Lumecca IPL is a powerful Intense Pulsed Light treatment designed to address a range of skin concerns, including pigmentation, sun damage, redness, sun spots, and uneven skin tone.
Using advanced light technology, it delivers pulses of light that penetrate beneath the skin’s surface to target discolouration. Over time, this process helps break down unwanted pigment, stimulate collagen production, and reveal a brighter, clearer, and more even complexion, often with visible improvement after just one session.

works with your body
How It Works
The light energy is drawn to unwanted pigment, like brown spots and freckles, or hemoglobin in visible vessels, like broken capillaries and redness.
Once absorbed, these areas gently break down so your body can clear them away (they flake off over a week or so). As an added bonus, controlled heat stimulates new collagen, helping improve skin texture and tone beyond just discolouration.
- Light energy penetrates the skin.
- Pigment (sunspots, freckles) and blood vessels absorb the energy.
- The targeted cells are damaged and naturally cleared by the body.
- Skin appears clearer, brighter, and more even over time.
- Heat stimulation promotes collagen production, improving texture.
