Brighten Your Day With Lumecca Intense Pulsed Light
If you suffer from dry eyes, you know the discomfort and irritation it can cause. Whether your dry eye is due to aging, medication, or other factors, finding relief can be a challenge. Fortunately, advances in technology have led to new treatments that can help. One such treatment is Lumecca Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), which has shown promising results in relieving dry eye symptoms. With the help of Dr. Nemi and the team at Lotus Vision, you can find relief and get back to enjoying your life without the discomfort of dry eye.
How Does Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Work?
Lumecca Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is a non-invasive treatment that uses pulses of light to stimulate the production of natural oils in the meibomian glands of the eyelids. IPL uses high-intensity pulses of light to stimulate the production of natural oils in the meibomian glands. These glands are located in the eyelids and are responsible for producing the oil layer of the tear film, which helps to lubricate the eyes and prevent dryness.
When the meibomian glands become clogged or inflamed, the production of natural oils can be disrupted, leading to dry eye syndrome. IPL treatment works by heating the meibomian glands and liquefying the hardened oils, allowing them to flow more easily and restore the natural lubrication of the eyes.
Am I A Good Candidate for Intense Pulsed Light in Atlanta?
Here are some factors to consider when determining if Lumecca IPL is right for you:
- Severity of dry eye: Lumecca IPL is most effective for mild to moderate cases of dry eye. If you have severe dry eye, other treatments may be more appropriate.
- Skin type: Lumecca IPL works best on fair to medium skin tones. If you have a darker skin tone, other treatments may be more appropriate.
- Medications: Certain medications can make you more sensitive to light and increase the risk of complications from Lumecca IPL. Be sure to discuss any medications you are taking with your doctor.
- Eye conditions: If you have certain eye conditions, such as glaucoma or cataracts, Lumecca IPL may not be appropriate. Be sure to discuss any eye conditions you have with your doctor.
- Pregnancy: Lumecca IPL is not recommended for pregnant women.
Lumecca IPL Procedure
Before the treatment, you’ll consult with Dr. Nemi to discuss your medical history and any concerns. He will also assess your eyes to determine if you are a suitable candidate for the treatment.
Next, your eyes will be cleaned with a gentle solution to remove debris or makeup. A protective shield will be placed over your eyes to prevent any damage from the intense light.
The Lumecca IPL device will be placed close to your eyes, and a series of brief pulses of intense light will be delivered to the skin around your eyes. You may feel a slight tingling or warmth during the treatment, but it should not be painful.

Post IPL Treatment Care And Maintenance
After undergoing Lumecca IPL, it is essential to take proper care of your eyes to ensure the best possible results. Here are some tips to help you with post-treatment care and maintenance:
- Dr. Nemi may recommend using eye drops after the treatment to help soothe any discomfort or dryness. Make sure to use the drops as directed and avoid rubbing your eyes.
- After the treatment, your eyes may be sensitive to light. Wearing sunglasses can help protect your eyes from bright sunlight and reduce discomfort.
- Avoid wearing eye makeup for at least 24 hours after the treatment. This will help prevent any irritation or infection.
- Avoid hot showers and saunas for a few days after the treatment, as the heat can cause your eyes to become dry and irritated.
- Drinking plenty of water can help keep your eyes hydrated and reduce dryness.
- Follow up with Dr. Nemi after the treatment to discuss your progress and any concerns. He may recommend additional treatments or adjustments to your care plan.
By following these post-treatment care and maintenance tips, you can help ensure the best possible results from your Lumecca sessions.

Intense Pulsed Light FAQs
How many IPL sessions will I need?
While every patient’s needs are different, most people benefit from a series of 3 to 4 Lumecca-I treatments, spaced about 2–4 weeks apart. Dr. Nemi will create a customized plan for you based on the severity of your symptoms and how your eyes respond.
Are the results of Lumecca-I IPL permanent?
Lumecca-I provides long-lasting relief, but dry eye is often a chronic condition. Many patients at Lotus Vision choose to return for maintenance treatments every 6–12 months to sustain their results and manage ongoing inflammation.
Does insurance cover IPL treatment for dry eye?
Because IPL is considered an elective treatment, it’s typically not covered by insurance. However, Lotus Vision accepts HSA and FSA funds, and our team is happy to walk you through pricing and payment options to make treatment accessible.
Can Lumecca-I IPL treat anything else besides dry eye?
Yes! In addition to treating dry eye, Lumecca-I IPL can improve the appearance of the skin around the eyes by reducing redness, rosacea, and sun damage. Many of our patients enjoy the cosmetic benefits as an added bonus to their dry eye relief.
