Post-Treatment Care
What to Expect
- Mild redness, warmth, or slight swelling for 1–3 days
- Pigmented areas may darken before flaking off naturally over 5–10 days
- Skin may feel slightly dry or sensitive
(This darkening phase is expected – it means the treatment is working)
First 24–48 Hours
- Avoid heat (hot showers, saunas, workouts)
- Avoid friction or irritation to the treated area
- Use gentle skincare only (no active ingredients)
- Cool compresses may be used for comfort
Ongoing Care (5–7 Days+)
- Avoid sun exposure and apply SPF 30+ daily (non-negotiable)
- Avoid retinoids, acids, vitamin C, and exfoliation for at least 5-7 days
- Do not pick, scrub, or exfoliate darkened pigment – allow it to shed naturally
- Resume active skincare gradually once the skin has fully calmed
General Care
- Keep skin well hydrated and supported with gentle products
- Makeup may be applied if the skin is intact, ideally mineral-based
Supporting Your Results
Lumecca works by creating controlled heat within the skin. Your results depend on how effectively your body clears and renews the treated tissue.
To support optimal outcomes:
- Stay well hydrated
- Focus on antioxidant-rich, whole foods (berries, greens, healthy fats)
- Minimize alcohol and excess sugar for 24–72 hours
- Avoid excess heat and inflammation triggers (saunas, intense workouts, spicy foods early on)
- Maintain your recommended treatment plan and intervals
Treatment Notes
- Pigmentation will often darken before it clears – this is a normal and expected part of the process
- Not all concerns resolve in one session – results are cumulative
- Vascular and pigment conditions may require ongoing maintenance depending on lifestyle and sun exposure
