Lumecca for the neck and chest in London

The chest, the neck and the hands show sun damage too: red and brown mottling across the décolletage, thread veins at the base of the neck, brown spots on the backs of the hands. Lumecca treats all of them. It is FDA-cleared in the US for benign pigmented lesions (harmless brown marks) and for benign vascular lesions (harmless red vessels) including truncal thread veins and poikiloderma of Civatte, the name for that red and brown mottling of a sun-exposed chest. The manufacturer describes the treatment as used on the face and décolleté and also on the arms, hands and legs, and we treat all of those, and the shoulders and the back too. Each has its own page as well: the neck, the chest, the hands, the arms, the legs and the back. Usually three sessions about four weeks apart in our practice, at a lower energy than the face because the skin is thinner, at Lumecca Clinic, 130 Harley Street, with the price in writing at a free consultation.

The three areas

• The chest: the area people are happiest with in our experience, because the mottling is colour and colour is what the light treats. Our patients review the clinic on review.clinic, where the clinic holds 4.8 out of 5 from 53 reviews, with 100% saying the treatment was worth it (November 2026).
• The neck: sun spots and the fine red threads at the base and sides, treated with the chest in the same session.
• The hands: the brown spots on the backs; in a 2025 analysis of 41 trials, the one that measured both reported good to excellent results with IPL in 74.6% of treated facial areas and 90% of treated hand areas.

The session and after

The chest and neck are flashed at a lower energy than the face, in our practice, with the cooled window on the skin; a snap with each flash. The skin is pink and warm for a few hours, the spots darken and flake over one to two weeks, and the mottling evens out over the course. Sunscreen on the chest every day and a high neckline in the sun for the four weeks around each session, in our practice.

Who it suits

Fair to olive skin with sun damage on the chest, neck or hands, with no current tan; in our experience the chest tans most easily, so this is the area where the autumn-to-spring timing matters most. Lines and texture on the neck are structure, not colour: for lines and texture we provide Morpheus8 and Genius RF microneedling, and the clinician plans the combination. The pigmentation page covers the face and the sessions page the course.
