The forearms catch the sun through every summer, and the sun spots and freckling they collect are treated the same way as the hands. The arms are among the areas InMode names for Lumecca, and the device is FDA-cleared in the US for benign pigmented lesions. Usually three sessions about four weeks apart in our practice, both arms in one session, at Lumecca Clinic, 130 Harley Street, with the price in writing at a free consultation.
What it does on the arms
The brown of each spot absorbs the flash, darkens and flakes over one to two weeks, and the arms even out over the course; the red vessels of sun damage on the upper arms respond the same way. Crepey skin on the arms is structure, not colour, and for that we provide Morpheus8 at our sister clinic; the clinician plans the combination. No study measures the arms alone, and we say so.
The session and after
The cooled window on the skin, a snap with each flash, about 20 minutes for both forearms, longer with the upper arms. Pink and warm for a few hours, the spots darker and flaking over one to two weeks, sunscreen on the arms every day and sleeves in the sun for the four weeks around each session in our practice. The sessions page sets out the course.
Who it suits
Fair to olive skin with sun spots on the arms, with no current tan, which rules the arms out through most of the summer in our experience. The hands page covers the hands, treated with the arms in one session, and the full guide the rest.
