No, many patients say that Lumecca treatment is not painful at all. You’ll feel a mild tingling sensation that is noticeable but not painful.

Avoid direct, excessive sun exposure or tanning one month prior to treatment.

This treatment is perfect for those those dealing with pigmented and vascular lesions, superficial blood vessels skin texture and/or photodamage on the face, hands and décolletage.

During treatment, there will be a bright flash of light from the Lumecca device that may feel like a minor prickly sensation. Redness and a slight warming of the skin are normal after treatment and usually subsides within an hour. Over the next 24-48 hours you may see a darkening of pigmented spots; in the week afterward the pigmented lesions flake off, leading to an evening out of skin tone.

After treating vascular lesions you may see the vein blanch and disappear or a colour change in the vessel which dissipates after a few days.

Significant improvements in the complexion and clarity of the skin can be noted after the first session but multiple sessions are advised to provide even better results. Treatment plans depends on the severity of skin damage, skin type, type of treatment (vascular vs sun damage) and energy settings.

The effects of Lumecca treatment usually last from six months up to a year. However, it is recommended to go for maintenance treatments to prolong the visibility of the results.

Profhilo is suitable for men and women of all skin types who want to improve skin elasticity and hydration. It’s particularly effective for those that are experiencing the first signs of ageing as you may require a more invasive treatment if skin laxity is more advanced.

Profhilo treatment is generally not considered painful, but individual experiences can vary. The treatment involves injecting a series of small amounts of hyaluronic acid into the skin, which can cause a mild stinging or pinching sensation.

However, most patients report minimal discomfort during the procedure, as the injections are typically administered using a very fine needle.

As with dermal filler injections, we will numb the treatment area with local anaesthetic cream to ensure a pain-free procedure. The hyaluronic acid is delivered in ten micro-injection sites and is quickly dispersed in the top layer of the dermis, so there’s no need for massage or risk of lumps forming afterwards.

Two treatment sessions are recommended, carried out four weeks apart. Patients may wish to undergo additional sessions after six months to maintain results. Profhilo is a treatment which can be carried out individually, or in combination with other treatment types, such as facial fillers and laser treatments.

Profhilo generally lasts 6 months if 2 treatments are given one month apart. After the initial treatments, we recommend coming back to see us every 6-9 months.
