It Just Takes A Little
Light To Restore
Your Youthful Glow!
The Procedure
The procedure is very straight forward and simple.
Our Aesthetician will begin by gently cleansing the treatment area. Then the treatment starts by holding the light-emitting device directly over the problem area. After a simple pull on the trigger, the device is repositioned and the process is repeated until the entire area has been covered. The typical treatment last about 30 minutes.
The procedure has minimal discomfort and no associated down time.

The Result
The results of the IPL treatment happen over time. It typically takes between 3 and 6 treatments to effectively diminish all the problem spots. We recommend having the treatment done once every 3 weeks to obtain the best results.
Spending extended time in the sun and experiencing accelerated signs of premature aging is one of the biggest concerns that people have when it comes to their skin. Fortunately, with the IPL treatment these signs of premature aging can now be reversed.
With an IPL photofacial, you can achieve noticeably brighter, clearer, and more youthful-looking skin.
The End Result
We recommend a peel to accelerate the natural exfoliation process which will keep your skin looking fresh.
For those with sensitive skin or minor issues an enzyme peel produces the following results:
-
Controls acne, shrinks pores, and removes blackheads
-
Diminishes fine lines and wrinkles, and some scarring
-
Reduces age spots and redness
For those with more severe issues the chemical peel is best when it comes to:
-
Diminishing fine lines and wrinkles
-
Smoothing pigmentation and acne scars
-
Shrinking large pores
-
Tightening sagging skin
Depending on your skin type and need we can help find a treatment that is right for you.
What Is IPL?
The Sciton joule™ combines multiple unique, highly effective technologies in one workstation for true versatility. The BBL Hero is the most powerful type of IPL or “Intense Pulsed Light” therapy. It creates pulses of broad-band light that are selectively filtered and delivered into the skin. It is then absorbed by target chromophores and transformed into therapeutic heat.
This procedure targets the signs of premature aging such as pigmentary issues, sun damage, broken capillaries, and general redness. By working at the cellular level from the inside out, we give you a more youthful radiant complexion without the harsh side effects of other treatments.
At Lumera we pride ourselves on having the latest technology and the BBL Hero by Sciton is no exception. Our IPL treatment is the quickest way to clearer skin.
FAQ'S
Is the procedure painful?
Not typically. It feels like a light snap or flick on the surface of the skin.
How many treatments do I need?
Like we said above, it typically takes between 3 and 6 treatments that are scheduled 3 weeks apart.
How long does it take?
Depending on the number and size of the areas being treated, the whole process typically takes about 30 minutes.
How is urinary incontinence diagnosed?
The condition is diagnosed mainly on the pattern of symptoms. Keeping a urinary diary (a record of daily urination, urine accidents and fluid intake) can help your health care provider determine patterns and establish the working diagnosis. The provider will also ask questions about your general health, your history of incontinence, past surgeries, illnesses and any medication you're taking. A physical examination, including a pelvic exam, will be done, and a urine sample will be tested.
Sometimes other, more complicated tests may be needed to establish or confirm the diagnosis or to guide treatment.
How does incontinence relate to age?
Incontinence should not be considered to be a normal condition of aging. Elderly patients should be evaluated in essentially the same way that patients of any age should be evaluated. Incontinence is certainly more common as patients age, but incontinence can be seen in children, adolescents, and adults.
Why should I care about my bladder control problem?
People often live with incontinence without seeking help. Many cases can be cured or controlled with appropriate treatment. Urinary incontinence is the second leading cause of institutionalizing elderly people. The problem can contribute to decreased socialization, decreased quality of life and depression. Getting up at night to urinate also increases the risk of falling and fracturing a hip.
