Your Treatment Process
During a session at our Katy office, a handheld device is moved over the treatment area, emitting bright flashes of light. Most patients describe the sensation as a light snap against the skin, which is mitigated by the integrated cooling system. A typical session takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area.
Recovery and Results
There is no formal downtime required, and you may return to your normal routine immediately after the appointment. Some redness and a slight warming of the skin are common and usually subside within an hour. Over the next 24 to 48 hours, pigmented spots may darken and eventually flake off, revealing a brighter complexion.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many sessions will I need?
While results are visible after a single session, a series of three treatments is often recommended for optimal correction. We personalize your plan based on the skin’s initial condition and your desired outcome.
Is the procedure painful?
The integrated sapphire cooling tip makes the procedure well-tolerated for most patients. You may feel a brief warming sensation or a light snap, but it is not typically described as painful.
Does the treatment have side effects?
Most patients experience temporary redness or a sensation similar to a mild sunburn. Our team prioritizes safety and emphasizes that Dr. Bertles can answer any questions about potential risks during your consultation.
What other procedures can be combined with Lumecca IPL photofacial?
Lumecca can be paired with Morpheus8 V or other resurfacing treatments to address both pigment and skin texture. Combining therapies often provides a more comprehensive result for total facial enhancement.
