Utilizing the renowned Lumecca Peak IPL device, we ensure our clients receive the highest quality care, achieving remarkable improvements in skin tone and clarity.
Lumecca Peak IPL Therapy, often referred to as a photofacial, harnesses intense pulsed light to effectively target and treat skin cells with pigment damage. At the Centre for Pure Skin, many patients have reported noticeable improvements in both the clarity and overall complexion of their skin following IPL treatments. What sets Lumecca Peak apart is its ability to deliver up to three times more energy within the 500-600 nm wavelength range, enhancing the treatment's efficacy for addressing vascular and pigmented lesions. Thanks to its large spot size and high pulse repetition rate, Lumecca Peak IPL not only achieves unparalleled clarity but also reduces treatment times, making it a superior choice for efficient skin rejuvenation.

Schedule nowWho is an Ideal Candidate for IPL Therapy?
Ideal candidates for IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) therapy are individuals with generally healthy skin who want to address specific issues such as uneven skin tone from sun spots, age spots, rosacea, visible veins, chronic redness, and vascular lesions. This versatile treatment can be applied to various parts of the body, including the face, neck, décolletage, legs, hands, and arms. Candidates should understand that achieving optimal results may require multiple sessions and must be committed to adhering to all post-treatment care instructions, such as minimizing sun exposure to protect their skin.
What IPL Can Treat
Sunspots & Age Spots
Sun and time are the main cause of skin discoloration. IPL therapy can be an excellent choice for managing the appearance of sunspots and age spots.
Rosacea
IPL therapy works to reduce the inflammation, redness, uneven tone and pimples caused by rosacea.
Vascular Lesions
The appearance of vascular lesions like “port wine stains” and broken blood vessels (telangiectasias) can be corrected with IPL therapy.
Acne Spots
Sometimes acne breakouts cause frustrating, lasting red or dark spots called PIH (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation). IPL is considered to be a safe and effective solution for the treatment of PIH.

What to Expect with IPL Therapy
To begin your Lumecca Peak IPL therapy, you'll first come to our Grand Rapids, MI office for an initial consultation. During this visit, we will evaluate your skin's condition, listen to your concerns, and determine if Lumecca Peak IPL therapy is suitable for you. We'll also educate you on the treatment process, expected results, and pricing details. Additionally, your provider may offer recommendations for at-home care to support your treatment.
When you undergo the Lumecca Peak IPL treatment, you will notice a bright flash of light from the handheld IPL device. Many patients describe the sensation as similar to a gentle snap of a rubber band. It's normal to experience some redness and warmth in the skin immediately after the session, typically subsiding within an hour. Most patients find this non-invasive treatment quite tolerable.
While side effects may vary, common experiences include a mild warming sensation and temporary redness immediately following the procedure. These symptoms usually dissipate within a few hours. Within 24 to 48 hours after treatment, pigmented spots may darken before flaking off over the following week. Some patients also report increased sensitivity to sunlight post-treatment. We recommend beginning your Lumecca Peak IPL therapy with untanned skin and avoiding direct sunlight or tanning for at least six weeks afterwards to ensure optimal results.
