Why Choose Nichole Gilbarty for Lumecca IPL
Founder-Led Consultation and Planning
Nichole Gilbarty founded Naturally Aesthetic and is a board-certified nurse practitioner with over 10 years of experience in medical aesthetics. She consults with every IPL patient, sets the Lumecca parameters around your skin and goals, and oversees the protocol through follow-up.
Precisely Customized Settings
Lumecca isn't a one-size-fits-all device. Energy levels, pulse spacing, and pass count change based on the lesion type (pigmented spot versus vascular thread) and the patient's skin tone. Nichole sets the parameters for each treatment area rather than running a default protocol across the whole face.
Quicker Results Than Standard IPL
Naturally Aesthetic uses the Lumecca high-output IPL platform. Most patients see clearance of age spots, sun damage, and rosacea in 1-3 Lumecca sessions, where standard IPL platforms typically require 4-6.

Actual Patient
The Get Glowing Combo
Lumecca + Laser Resurfacing
For patients who want to address both pigmentation and skin texture in one treatment plan, Naturally Aesthetic offers the Get Glowing combination, which consists of Lumecca IPL paired with laser resurfacing. Lumecca clears discoloration at the surface while laser resurfacing works deeper to smooth tone and stimulate collagen. Nichole sequences the two treatments to work with your skin's recovery, not against it.
What Lumecca IPL Treats
Lumecca targets pigmented and vascular concerns selectively, leaving surrounding healthy skin untouched. Conditions we can treat at our med spa in Rumson, NJ, include:
- Age spots and sun damage
- Rosacea and chronic facial redness
- Facial telangiectasias (spider veins)
- Freckles and uneven pigmentation
- Poikiloderma on the neck and chest
Your Lumecca Session With Nichole
At your first appointment, Nichole reviews your skin history and sets the Lumecca parameters for your specific concerns. The handpiece is passed over the treatment area in brief pulses that feel like a light elastic snap. A full-face treatment typically takes 20 to 30 minutes.
Recovery and Results Timeline
There is no formal downtime. Most patients return to normal activities immediately. Pigmented spots often darken in the first 24 to 48 hours, then flake off and clear within a week. Vascular lesions may take up to two weeks to fully respond. Daily sunscreen and avoiding the direct sun are required throughout your recovery.

Common Questions About Lumecca IPL
How many sessions will I need?
Most patients we treat from Monmouth Beach, Red Bank, NJ, and nearby see significant improvement after one Lumecca session, with 1-3 sessions producing the best results for more pronounced sun damage or rosacea. Nichole determines the best number of sessions and spacing at your consultation based on your skin and goals.
How should I prepare?
Avoid direct sun and tanning for one month before your appointment. Tanned skin reduces the contrast Lumecca relies on. Discontinue exfoliating acids and retinoids the week before unless Nichole says otherwise.
Is Lumecca safe for my skin type?
Lumecca works best on lighter skin types. Nichole will determine whether you're a good candidate at your consultation and recommends an alternative treatment when Lumecca is not the safest fit.
