Lumecca IPL at FaceExpert is the InMode Lumecca intense pulsed light system — one of the most powerful IPL platforms available — deployed by MUDr. Kateřina Besperát for the treatment of pigmentation irregularities, vascular lesions, rosacea, couperosis, sun damage, telangiectasia, and acne. Unlike lasers that emit a single wavelength, Lumecca delivers a broad-spectrum light pulse filtered to the wavelength range that selectively targets melanin (brown pigmentation) and oxyhaemoglobin (red vessels) through photothermolysis. The treated pigment rises to the surface and sheds over 7–14 days; vascular lesions fade as disrupted vessels are cleared by the body. FaceExpert treats the face, neck, décolletage, and hands, with a small-area option for localised spots. Sessions take approximately 20 minutes with no anaesthesia required for most areas. Lumecca is effective from age 25 as a preventive pigmentation treatment and is considered the standard of care for photodamage, rosacea, and diffuse hyperpigmentation.
About this treatment
Lumecca, manufactured by InMode, is an intense pulsed light (IPL) device engineered to deliver significantly higher peak fluence than conventional IPL systems while maintaining safety through integrated skin cooling. Its photon output at the 500–600 nm range — the spectrum most efficiently absorbed by melanin and oxyhaemoglobin — makes it particularly effective for pigmented and vascular skin conditions in Fitzpatrick types I–III.
How IPL works (selective photothermolysis)
Unlike a laser, which emits monochromatic coherent light at a single precise wavelength, an IPL device emits a broad-spectrum flash of light across a range of wavelengths (typically 500–1,200 nm) through optical filters that cut off the lower wavelengths. The filtered spectrum is absorbed preferentially by the target chromophore — melanin (brown pigment) or oxyhaemoglobin (red blood pigment in vessels) — and converts to heat in that structure. Because the…
