Hello, friend! If you’re searching for an advanced way to rejuvenate your skin here in London, Ontario, you’ve found the right place. At Inspirations Beauty Clinic Inc, we offer IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) laser treatments using the powerful Lumecca device. IPL delivers broad-spectrum light into the skin to target sun damage and uneven pigmentation. InMode’s Lumecca is actually “the most powerful IPL on the market”, meaning it can deliver faster, more dramatic results with fewer sessions than older IPL systems. Many of our clients see a noticeable reduction in age spots and a firmer, brighter skin tone even after the very first treatment.
How IPL Works
IPL therapy works by emitting pulses of light that are absorbed by pigmented cells and tiny blood vessels in the skin. The heat from the light breaks up melanin (causing brown spots) and damages the walls of capillaries and coagulates the blood supply (reducing redness and broken veins), all while sparing the surrounding tissue. After treatment, your skin naturally sheds the treated pigmentation and stimulates new collagen growth. Because we use the advanced Lumecca IPL system (powered by InMode Aesthetics), the energy is higher than typical IPL machines. This means you often need fewer sessions (often 3–6 total) to achieve your desired results.
Key Benefits of IPL (Lumecca) in London, ON
Reduces age spots and sun damage: IPL targets and lightens brown spots, freckles, and “sun spots” caused by sun exposure.
Evens out skin tone: It diminishes flushing, blushing, and broken capillaries, giving the skin a more uniform, luminous appearance.
Improves vascular concerns: Broken capillaries and mild rosacea are dramatically reduced, as IPL seals off tiny blood vessels.
Firms and refreshes skin: IPL stimulates collagen, leading to tighter, more youthful-looking skin with a natural glow.
Quick, non-invasive treatments: Sessions are relatively fast with little downtime – many people return to activities immediately after.
Your IPL results will continue improving over time as collagen rebuilds. We typically recommend a series of treatments for best results, but rest assured—even one session can make you “incredibly happy” with your result, according to many clients.
Safety and Aftercare
Our Lumecca IPL service is Health Canada–approved and performed by certified aestheticians at Inspirations Beauty Clinic in London, Ontario. We follow strict safety protocols to ensure comfort and confidence throughout your treatment.
After an IPL session, your skin may appear flushed or feel like a mild sunburn for 24–48 hours — this is completely normal. Please follow these steps for proper aftercare:
Use only clinic-recommended products: Apply the Hydrinity prelude soothing cleanser, Hydrinity post-care restorative kit, iS Clinical Cleansing Polish and SPF that we provide in-clinic and online.
Sun protection: Avoid direct sunlight and tanning for at least 2 weeks. Always apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily.
Makeup: If needed, makeup may be safely applied once the skin has cooled since there are no open or sensitive areas. Colorescience has the perfect makeup and skin safe makeup options! Shop them here!
Monitor your skin: Mild redness or warmth is expected. However, if you notice unusual reactions (such as blistering or severe discomfort), please contact the clinic and your family physician immediately.
