Problem Overview
These concerns can impact not only your skin’s appearance but also your confidence.

It’s no wonder that more locals are opting for this innovative treatment.
How We Solve It at The Bar
One of our clients, Sarah from Bettendorf, was initially hesitant about the treatment. After a summer of sunbathing, she noticed dark spots forming on her cheeks, which made her feel self-conscious. Sarah decided to try Lumecca, and she was ecstatic about her results. “My skin looks brighter and healthier; I can’t believe I waited so long to do this,” she said, glowing with confidence during a recent follow-up.
Our experienced staff, combined with advanced technology, creates a personalized treatment plan that fits your skin needs perfectly. We understand that embarking on an aesthetic journey can be daunting; therefore, we prioritize care, empathy, and professionalism every step of the way.
What to Expect from Treatment
Before Treatment
- Initial Consultation: Your Lumecca journey begins with an in-depth consultation where we evaluate your skin and discuss your concerns and goals.
- Skin Preparation: Depending on your skin type, we may advise you to avoid sun exposure and certain medications before your session to ensure optimal results.
During Treatment
- Comfort Measures: You’ll be provided with protective eyewear to shield your eyes from the intense light.
- Application: A gel will be applied to your skin, followed by the Lumecca device, which will deliver light pulses. Many clients report that the sensation feels like a gentle snap of a rubber band.
After Treatment
- Immediate Reactions: Right after the session, you may experience some mild redness and swelling, akin to a light sunburn, which generally subside within 24 hours.
- Changes in Pigmentation: Expect the pigmented spots to temporarily darken; this is a positive indication that Lumecca is effectively targeting the areas of concern.
- Flaking and Healing: Over the next week, the darkened spots will gradually flake off, unveiling brighter, more even-toned skin.
In most cases, patients may notice a significant improvement within just a week, although optimal results continue to develop over a 2-4 week period as collagen production increases.
