No specific skin preparation is required. Your skin will be cleansed as part of the treatment and aftercare advice will be provided to help get the best out of your course of treatments.

Immediately after each Lumixa treatment, you can expect to see a temporary ‘bronzing’ of the skin, which some call a ‘Hollywood glow’. In some clients, temporary darkening of freckles, sunspots, and pigmentation is possible. If any of these, including Melasma, are your primary skin concerns, Lumixa may not be the treatment for you and we will discuss this prior to your treatment.

No. Lumixa is pain-free, non-invasive, and the gel doesn’t absorb into the skin. During the treatment, you may feel tingling and warmth as the gel and light work together. Don’t worry; this is entirely normal.

Lumixa is offered as a programme of 5 treatments, each spaced one week apart. Its non-invasive and non-systemic nature allows you to combine Lumixa with other treatments to further enhance and improve your results.

All Lumixa treatments start with a course of five treatments. Some clients may need more treatments depending on the severity of their skin condition.

We recommend scheduling individual ‘top up’ treatments as needed to maintain your results as part of an ongoing maintenance plan. A booster series of five treatments can be carried out after 12-18 weeks. One maintenance treatment can then be carried out every 4 to 12 weeks as necessary.

Lumixa is suitable for all skin types and because it’s pain-free, it’s perfect for those more sensitive to pain and more intensive treatments.

There are very few side effects with Lumixa. In sensitive skin, mild flushing of the skin may be observed due to the heat. Darker Fitzpatrick Skin types may experience a mild bronzing/darkening of the skin, which clears after the treatment course. We recommend not to use retinol (or vitamin A) during the treatment since it can cause skin sensitivities. Efficacy and safety of Lumixa has not been tested on pregnant or breastfeeding women. Consult a doctor if considering using Lumixa if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant during the treatment or are breastfeeding.

Results vary depending on the treatment protocol and skin condition. Some patients see an improvement in redness after just one single session. In most cases, significant improvements are not only noticeable, but often become particularly apparent during the last couple of weeks of a standard five-week treatment protocol. Furthermore, since Lumixa stimulates the skin’s biological processes, it continues to enhance the skin even in the weeks following the conclusion of the treatment protocol.

- Avoid intensive sun exposure or tanning booths during the course of treatments.

- Use daily sunscreen protection with a minimum of 30 SPF during the course of treatments.
- Use of an intensive moisturiser is advised for at least a week as skin may feel drier or tighter after treatment. We can recommend a suitable product based on your skin type during your appointment.

- Anti-ageing creams containing retinol or glycolic acid may be reintroduced progressively 48 hours after your final treatment.

- Make up can be worn immediately afterwards.

Lumixa offers treatments which utilise innovative technology called Fluorescent Light Energy (FLE). FLE works through photobiomodulation. While LED is a continuous type of light, FLE is a hyperpulsed light which facilitates superior cellular interaction with different receptors in the epidermis and dermis
