IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) with Lumecca at MDCS Dermatology is a non-invasive treatment that targets sun damage, brown spots, redness, and uneven skin tone with minimal downtime. Our board-certified dermatologists across Manhattan, Long Island, and New Jersey use advanced Lumecca technology to safely brighten and clarify the skin, helping you achieve a clearer, more radiant complexion.
What Is IPL with Lumecca?
IPL with Lumecca uses high-energy pulses of light to treat unwanted pigmentation and redness just beneath the skin’s surface. The light is absorbed by brown and red areas, helping break down excess melanin and visible blood vessels. Over the following days, these spots gradually fade or flake off, revealing skin that looks brighter, more even, and refreshed.
Lumecca is designed to deliver stronger results in fewer sessions than traditional IPL devices, and is offered as part of our comprehensive aesthetic services.
What Can IPL Treat?
IPL with Lumecca is ideal for improving:
- Sun spots and age spots
- Freckles and uneven pigmentation
- Redness and visible blood vessels
- Rosacea and flushing (learn more on our rosacea treatment page)
- Blotchy, uneven skin tone
Common treatment areas include:
- Face
- Neck
- Chest / décolletage
- Arms and hands
It is especially beneficial for patients seeking effective treatment for sun damage or long-term correction of discoloration.

What to Expect During Treatment
Your MDCS provider will evaluate your skin, discuss your goals, and select the appropriate settings for your IPL session. A cooling gel may be applied, and you’ll wear protective eyewear.
- Treatment time: typically 15–30 minutes
- Sensation: warm, quick flashes of light
- Aftercare: mild redness and temporary darkening of brown spots are common
Most patients resume normal activities the same day. Many notice improvement after one session, with optimal results usually achieved in two to three treatments.
