Lumecca treatment is an advanced intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy that addresses both ocular and cosmetic concerns. At Complete Eye Care, Gurgaon, under the expert guidance of Dr. Parul Sony, Lumecca is used to treat meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), evaporative dry eye, ocular rosacea, and simultaneously enhance skin health and appearance.
This non-invasive, in-office treatment offers long-lasting relief from dry eye symptoms while providing aesthetic benefits such as improved skin tone, reduced redness, and brighter complexion.
What is Lumecca Treatment?
Lumecca is part of the Envision by InMode platform, a cutting-edge system that delivers precisely calibrated light pulses to targeted tissues. The treatment works by:
● Reducing inflammation in the eyelids
● Sealing abnormal blood vessels (telangiectasia) that contribute to dry eye
● Reducing the population of Demodex mites and bacteria along the lash line
● Enhancing skin texture, tone, and pigmentation
By addressing both ocular and cosmetic concerns, Lumecca provides a unique dual benefit for patients struggling with chronic dry eye and facial skin issues.
How Lumecca Treats Dry Eye and MGD
Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is a leading cause of evaporative dry eye. When the oil glands along the eyelids are blocked or inflamed, tears evaporate too quickly, causing irritation, redness, and burning sensations.
Lumecca IPL works by:
1. Targeting Abnormal Blood Vessels: Light energy is absorbed by hemoglobin in abnormal vessels, causing them to close and reduce inflammation.
2. Improving Oil Flow: Thermal energy gently warms the eyelids, melting thickened oils and restoring normal meibum secretion.
3. Reducing Demodex & Bacteria: Pulsed light effectively diminishes bacteria and mite populations that aggravate eyelid inflammation.
Lumecca for Skin Rejuvenation
Besides treating dry eye, Lumecca offers aesthetic advantages, often referred to as a medical photofacial:
● Reduces redness from ocular rosacea
● Lightens age spots, sun damage, and pigmentation
● Stimulates collagen production for smoother, firmer skin
● Improves overall skin tone and texture
Patients leave the clinic not only with healthier eyes but also a radiant, youthful appearance.

Treatment Procedure at Complete Eye Care, Gurgaon
The Lumecca IPL treatment is simple and performed entirely in-office:

2. Cooling Gel Application: A thin layer of gel is applied from the cheekbone to the temple for comfort and conductivity.
3. Light Pulses: Controlled flashes of light are applied to the eyelids and surrounding skin. Most patients feel a mild snapping or tingling sensation.
4. Treatment Schedule: Typically, 4 sessions spaced 3 weeks apart are recommended, followed by maintenance treatments as needed.
Each session lasts about 20–30 minutes, and patients can resume normal activities immediately after.
