Where can I get Lumecca Peak in New Zealand?
Acajou Beauty Therapy Spa in Ponsonby is currently the first and only clinic in New Zealand offering Lumecca Peak. 1 June 2025.
🔬 What Makes Lumecca Peak Special?
1. Up to 25% more optical (peak) power
- Delivers higher intensity light pulses—around 3.3 kW/cm²—breaking down pigment and blood vessels more efficiently at lower fluence
2. Shorter pulse duration
- The reduced pulse width improves targeting of small vessels and pigmented cells by matching their thermal relaxation time (TRT), increasing selectivity and minimizing collateral damage.
3. Dual wavelengths (515 nm & 580 nm)
- Optimized to treat both melanin (pigmentation) and hemoglobin (vascular issues) more effectively across different skin types.

InMode: Innovation Behind the Lumecca Evolution
Founded in 2008 by leading scientists and medical technology experts, InMode has become a global leader in aesthetic and medical radiofrequency (RF) and light-based technologies. Headquartered in Israel, the company quickly gained recognition for pioneering minimally invasive and non-invasive platforms that improve patient outcomes with less downtime. Today, InMode operates in over 90 countries and is listed on the NASDAQ under the symbol INMD, earning widespread acclaim for both innovation and reliability.
One of InMode’s flagship technologies is Lumecca IPL, a light-based system used for treating vascular and pigmented skin conditions. The original Lumecca handpiece was developed for general skin rejuvenation but delivered lower power compared to newer models, requiring more treatment sessions to achieve results.
To expand treatment applications, InMode introduced the Lumecca-I—a precision tool designed specifically for eyelid inflammation and meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). It uses a low-powered, small round tip to safely target delicate periorbital tissue but is not intended for full-face rejuvenation.
The most advanced iteration, the Lumecca PEAK, is exclusively available on the Optimas MAX platform. Featuring a large rectangular tip and delivering 25% more peak power, it covers greater surface area faster and achieves dramatic results in fewer sessions. This makes it ideal for high-efficiency treatment of pigmentation, sun damage, and vascular lesions on the face, neck, and body.
With millions of treatments performed worldwide, InMode’s continued success is driven by cutting-edge engineering and a commitment to effective, patient-focused outcomes.
Is Lumecca-I the same as Lumecca PEAK?
No. While both handpieces are part of InMode’s IPL family, Lumecca-I and Lumecca PEAK serve very different purposes.
Lumecca-I is a low-powered, small-tip handpiece designed primarily for treating inflammation around the eyelids, such as meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). It’s ideal for highly targeted, small-area treatments—but it is not designed for full-face rejuvenation or large skin zones.
In contrast, Lumecca PEAK is the latest and most powerful IPL handpiece from InMode, available exclusively on the Optimas MAX platform. It delivers 25% higher peak power, features a large rectangular tip, and is clinically proven to achieve more noticeable skin improvements in fewer sessions. It treats pigmentation, sun damage, and vascular lesions with unmatched efficiency.
Clinics promoting Lumecca-I as “intense” IPL may create confusion, but it’s important to understand that only Lumecca PEAK offers the enhanced performance required for fast, full-face results.
Acajou is proud to be the first clinic in New Zealand to offer Lumecca PEAK IPL, bringing world-class innovation and superior results to our clients.
How many sessions does Lumecca PEAK require compared to standard IPL or Lumecca-I?
Thanks to its higher peak power and advanced optical precision, Lumecca PEAK typically delivers visible results in just 1 to 2 sessions, compared to the 3 to 6 sessions often required with standard IPL or older Lumecca models.
Lumecca PEAK’s large rectangular tip covers more skin per pulse and penetrates deeper, making it especially effective for treating pigmentation, sun damage, redness, and broken capillaries. By contrast, Lumecca-I is not designed for broad treatments and is generally used for eyelid inflammation, not for rejuvenation of the full face, neck, or chest.
If you’re looking for faster results with fewer appointments, Lumecca PEAK is the clear choice.
Why does tip size matter in IPL treatments?
Tip size plays a crucial role in how efficiently an IPL device can treat your skin.
Lumecca PEAK features a large rectangular tip (≈30×10 mm), ideal for treating full-face, neck, décolletage, and other broad areas quickly and evenly. It minimizes treatment time and maximizes light delivery per pulse—meaning fewer sessions and faster outcomes.
Lumecca-I, by comparison, has a small round tip, which limits it to tiny, focused zones like the eyelids. It’s excellent for precision use, but not efficient or effective for treating larger areas or delivering comprehensive skin rejuvenation.
Choosing the right handpiece matters—and only Lumecca PEAK offers the size and power combination required for full-spectrum, high-performance IPL results.
