Lumecca is an intense pulsed light (IPL) device, meaning it emits bright flashes of light with several wavelengths at once. Each pulse destroys pigmented cells in dark spots and closes off visible veins. It also causes your tissues to heal themselves and grow stronger.
Weeks after your treatment, you might be surprised to see your pigmented lesions darken, rise to the surface of your skin, and flake right off. This is completely normal and means that the Lumecca did its job.

What’s the difference between surgical blepharoplasty and Morpheus8 eye bag tightening?
Surgical blepharoplasty is excellent for correcting moderate to severe loose eyelid skin and puffy eyelids. It is still the “gold standard”, with only a few weeks downtime and impressive results lasting more than 10 years. Morpheus8 is a new innovative way of tightening loose skin and acts as an impressive alternative to surgery, allowing a gentle correction of moderate loose skin. For eyelid lifts, 3-4 sessions performed every 3-6 weeks may be required, making it the perfect solution for people who want a gradual, scarless correction.
Does Morpheus8 hurt?
Topical anaesthetic is applied to cleansed skin and left to work for 20-30 minutes, although most patients may still feel some heat and discomfort during the treatment. At the end of the session, there will be some redness and swelling in the treated area which may be sore.
What is the downtime?
Morpheus8 is done as an outpatient treatment, so you can go home right after the procedure. Following treatment the eyelids might swell temporarily, but they settle within 48-72 hours. You may need to use oral anti-inflammatory medication. If redness occurs, it can take from 4 – 21 days to disappear. It is important not to scratch, pick or rub the area treated as a pinkish skin discoloration or hypo/hyperpigmentation could persist. You will be required to use a specialised serum rich in growth factors twice a day for 4 weeks to accelerate the healing process. SPF50 must also be applied twice a day on the treated area to protect the skin.
You should not have this treatment if you have a pacemaker, internal defibrillator or any electronic implant such as a glucose monitor, a permanent implant in the treated area, such as metal plates and screws, silicone implants or an injected chemical substance. It is not suitable for those with a history of diseases stimulated by heat, such as recurrent Herpes Simplex in the treated area, any active conditions such as sores, psoriasis, eczema, rashes or recently / excessively tanned skin. If you have had filler in the last 6 months, botox in the last 2 weeks or are pregnant, you should avoid this treatment.
