A Powerful Way to Rejuvenate Your Skin
IPL Photofacial Technology for Brighter Skin
If you want clearer, brighter, more even-toned skin, Lumecca IPL at Back to 30® in South Carolina is a powerful option for sun damage, redness, and pigmentation. We offer Lumecca at our Greenville, Simpsonville, and Boiling Springs locations, so you can get skin rejuvenation close to home.
Lumecca uses the most powerful intense pulsed light (IPL) technology available to deliver dramatic improvements in skin clarity and complexion, often after just one session.
What is Lumecca?
Lumecca is a next-generation IPL treatment that uses light and heat (a process called photothermolysis) to comfortably target brown spots and broken blood vessels (pigmented and vascular lesions) for visible improvement. This photofacial helps reverse the signs of sun damage, redness, and uneven pigmentation, restoring a healthy glow.
Benefits of Lumecca IPL
In just 1-3 sessions, Lumecca can improve:
- Age spots (red and brown pigmentation)
- Broken blood vessels (vascular lesions), including spider veins and poikiloderma
- Rosacea and facial redness
- Freckles
- Sun damage
What Areas Can Lumecca Treat?
Lumecca can be used on all areas of the body. The most common treatment areas include:
- Face
- Neck
- Décolletage
- Hands
- Arms
- Legs
These areas get a lot of sun and often show visible signs of damage that Lumecca can effectively address.
Are There Any Side Effects?
Most clients do not experience significant side effects. Any redness or warmth typically resolves within a few hours. Your skin may be more sensitive to sunlight after treatment, so it is important to avoid direct sun exposure and use sunscreen regularly to protect your results.
Preparing for Your Treatment
Before your treatment:
- Avoid direct and excessive sun exposure for at least one month.
- Avoid tanning prior to your appointment.
Your practitioner will provide additional pre-treatment guidelines to ensure your skin is prepared for the best possible results.
What to Expect
During your treatment, you will experience a bright flash of light and a sensation similar to a light snap from an elastic band. After treatment, it is normal to experience slight redness and warmth in the skin, which typically subsides within an hour.
Within 24-48 hours, you may notice the dark spots get darker. They’ll flake off over the next week, leaving clearer, more even-toned skin. When treating broken blood vessels (vascular lesions), the veins may turn pale and disappear, or change color and fade over a few days.
How Many Sessions?
Many clients notice improvement after just one session, and multiple sessions can provide even better results. We’ll customize your treatment plan based on:
- Severity of skin damage
- Skin type
- Treatment goals (broken blood vessels vs. brown spots)
- Recommended energy settings

WHAT AREAS CAN BE TREATED?

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT DURING AND AFTER LUMECCA?
During treatment, you’ll see a bright flash of light from Lumecca and feel a sensation like a light snap from an elastic band. Redness and slight warmth are normal afterward and usually subside within an hour. Over the next 24-48 hours, you may see pigmented spots get darker; in the week after, they flake off and your skin tone evens out.

You may see improved skin after the first session, and multiple sessions provide even better results. Your treatment plan depends on the severity of skin damage, your skin type, the type of treatment (broken blood vessels vs. sun damage), and energy settings.
