- Lumecca IPL | The Beauty Spot Medspa
Treat sun damage, brown spots, and redness with Lumecca IPL in North Haven, CT. Reveal a clearer, more even-toned complexion. Lumecca IPL Targets sun damage and redness to reveal a clearer, more even-toned complexion. Schedule Today Lumecca IPL is a powerful intense pulsed light treatment that uses broad-spectrum light energy to target sun damage, dark spots, redness, and broken capillaries, giving you clearer, brighter, more even skin in just a few quick sessions. Sun damage + brown spots + redness Best For 20–45 min (area-dependent) Treatment Time Face, neck, chest, hands (most common) Areas Treated Clearer tone reveals over ~1–2 weeks Results Timeline What Is Lumecca IPL and How Does It Work? Lumecca is the most advanced intense pulsed light (IPL) treatment on the market, made by InMode. It works by sending pulses of broad-spectrum light into the skin, where the energy is absorbed by pigment and blood vessels beneath the surface. That light converts to heat, which breaks down unwanted melanin and collapses tiny broken capillaries so your body can naturally clear them away. At the same time, it stimulates collagen production, so you're not just fading spots but also improving tone, texture, and overall glow. The result is a clearer, brighter complexion that looks lit from within. Lumecca can address a wide range of skin concerns in a single treatment. It's one of the best options out there for sun damage, age spots, freckles, hyperpigmentation, rosacea, facial redness, broken capillaries, and post-acne marks. It also helps refine pores and soften fine lines as collagen builds over time. Lumecca can be used on the face, neck, chest, hands, arms, and legs, which makes it a go to for anyone who spends time in the sun and wants to reverse some of that damage. During your consultation we'll look at your skin, talk through what you want to address, and put together a plan based on your goals. One of the biggest advantages of Lumecca over older IPL devices is that it's significantly more powerful, which means you see results faster and need fewer sessions. Most traditional IPL treatments take 4 to 6 sessions to get results, while Lumecca typically only needs 1 to 3 sessions spaced about 4 weeks apart. A lot of clients notice a visible difference after just one treatment, with sun spots looking darker for a few days before flaking off to reveal clearer skin underneath. A typical Lumecca appointment takes about 20 to 30 minutes depending on the area. We start by cleansing the skin and applying a cooling gel, then glide the Lumecca handpiece over the treatment area. The sapphire cooling tip keeps your skin comfortable throughout, and most clients describe the sensation as a quick warm snap, similar to a rubber band. It's very well tolerated, and numbing usually isn't needed. Downtime is minimal. Your skin may look a little pink or warm right after, similar to a mild sunburn, which usually fades within a few hours. Over the next few days, any pigmented spots will darken and look more visible before gradually flaking off on their own, typically within 7 to 10 days. Don't pick at them, let them come off naturally. Makeup is fine the next day. The most important part of aftercare is sun protection. Your skin will be more sensitive to UV for a few weeks, so a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher is non-negotiable to protect your results. Because Lumecca is light based, there are a few things to know going in. It works best on skin that hasn't been recently tanned, so avoid sun exposure and self-tanner for at least 2 weeks before and after your treatment. It also may not be the right fit for very dark skin tones or for clients who are pregnant, taking certain photosensitizing medications, or have active skin infections in the area. We'll go over all of that during your consultation to make sure you're a good candidate. Results from Lumecca typically last 6 to 12 months with proper care, and most clients benefit from a maintenance session once or twice a year to stay ahead of new sun damage. Lumecca also pairs really well with other treatments like Morpheus8, SkinPen microneedling, and injectables if you're looking to build a more complete skin plan. Book Your Appointment Patient Photos Treatment Information Side Effects Mild redness and warmth are common; brown spots may temporarily darken before flaking off. Treatment Downtime Typically minimal. Most clients are “socially back” quickly, though darkening spots can be visible for about a week. Treatment Aftercare Avoid sun, wear SPF daily, and don’t pick at darkened areas as they shed naturally. Enhancements Plan treatments around major events (allow ~7–10 days for spot shedding) and complete a series if recommended.

- Mermaid Facial | The Beauty Spot Medspa
Hydrate, brighten, and prep your skin for events with the Mermaid Facial in North Haven, CT. Enjoy instant glow and photo-ready skin. Mermaid Facial A glow-boosting facial that deeply hydrates, brightens, and leaves skin photo-ready. Schedule Today The Mermaid Facial is a luxurious, bio-regenerative treatment that uses salmon DNA (PDRN) and other powerful biostimulators to rejuvenate the skin from within, giving you smoother texture, improved elasticity, and a glassy, lit-from-within glow. Instant glow + hydration + event-ready skin Best For Between 45 to 60 minutes Treatment Time Face + (optional) neck/decolletage Areas Treated Immediate glow; Monthly maintenance Results Timeline What Is the Mermaid Facial and How Does It Work? The Mermaid Facial is one of the most talked about skin treatments right now, and for good reason. It uses a bio-stimulating cocktail of ingredients led by PDRN, which stands for polydeoxyribonucleotide. PDRN is derived from purified salmon DNA, which might sound wild, but it's actually so similar to human DNA that your skin recognizes it as its own. That biological similarity is what makes PDRN so powerful. It triggers fibroblasts, the cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin, to get back to work, which is why this treatment delivers such noticeable improvements in skin quality over time. The Mermaid Facial goes beyond just PDRN. The treatment usually combines salmon DNA with other biostimulators like hyaluronic acid, peptides, and sometimes PLLA (poly-L-lactic acid) to deliver a full spectrum of benefits in one session. The ingredients are delivered into the skin using a micro-stamping or mesotherapy technique, which uses very fine needles to create tiny channels on the surface of the skin. This allows the serum to absorb deeply where it can actually do the work, rather than just sitting on top like a regular facial. The result is hydration, firmness, glow, and smoother texture that keeps improving in the weeks after your appointment. This treatment is a great option for anyone who wants a natural, regenerative approach to skin rejuvenation without fillers, injectables, or downtime. It's especially effective for fine lines, dullness, dehydration, uneven texture, early signs of aging, mild acne scarring, and loss of elasticity. It can be customized for the face, neck, under eye area, and even the lips. The Mermaid Facial is also gentle enough for sensitive or reactive skin, including rosacea prone clients who can't tolerate more aggressive treatments. During your consultation we'll look at your skin, go over your goals, and customize the treatment to match what you're trying to achieve. A typical Mermaid Facial appointment takes about 45 minutes to an hour from start to finish. We start by cleansing your skin and applying a topical numbing cream for about 20 minutes to keep you comfortable. The actual treatment portion takes around 20 to 30 minutes, during which your provider uses a micro-stamping device to infuse the biostimulating serum into your skin. Most clients describe the sensation as mild prickling or tingling. It's very well tolerated, and the numbing does most of the work. Downtime is minimal. You may have some mild redness or a slight pink flush right after, similar to a light sunburn, which usually fades within a few hours to a day. A few small pinpoint marks from the micro-stamping can be visible briefly but settle quickly. Most clients go right back to their normal routine. We recommend skipping makeup for the rest of the day, avoiding intense workouts, saunas, and direct sun for 24 to 48 hours, and holding off on retinol and strong actives for a few days. Sunscreen is essential during healing. Results build gradually in the best way. You'll likely notice an immediate glow and softer, more hydrated skin within the first few days, but the real transformation shows up over the next few weeks as your body produces new collagen and elastin. Skin starts to look firmer, smoother, and more even in tone, with that coveted glass skin finish. For the best results, we recommend a series of 3 to 4 sessions spaced about 4 weeks apart. Once you've completed your series, results typically last 6 to 12 months, and most clients come in for a maintenance session a couple of times a year to keep that glow going. The Mermaid Facial pairs beautifully with other treatments like Botox, filler, SkinVive, and Lumecca if you're looking to build a more complete skin plan. It's also a great way to prep your skin before a big event since you can schedule it a few weeks out and arrive looking refreshed, hydrated, and camera ready. The Mermaid Facial isn't recommended if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, have an active skin infection in the treatment area, have an allergy to fish or salmon, or have certain autoimmune conditions. We'll go over your full health history during your consultation to make sure it's the right treatment for you. Book Your Appointment Patient Photos Treatment Information Side Effects Usually minimal; some clients experience mild redness if active ingredients are included. Treatment Downtime None. Treatment Aftercare Keep skincare gentle the rest of the day and apply SPF; avoid strong actives if your skin feels sensitized. Enhancements Book 1–3 days before an event for peak glow and keep up monthly for best maintenance. Suitable For Anyone wanting hydrated, radiant skin, especially dull, dry, or “tired-looking” complexions.

- Fillers | The Beauty Spot Medspa
Restore natural-looking volume with fillers at The Beauty Spot Medspa in North Haven, CT. Treat lips, cheeks, chin, jawline, and smile lines. Fillers Smooths lines and restores natural-looking volume for a refreshed, balanced look. Schedule Today Dermal fillers are injectable treatments that restore volume, smooth lines, and enhance facial contours using a soft, gel-like substance, most commonly hyaluronic acid, which is naturally found in your skin. Volume + contour + line softening Best For Between 30 to 60 minutes Treatment Time Lips, cheeks, chin, jawline, smile lines Areas Treated Can take 1 to 2 weeks to settle Results Timeline What Are Dermal Fillers and How Do They Work? Dermal fillers are a popular non-surgical treatment for volume loss, wrinkles, and facial contouring. Most modern fillers are made with hyaluronic acid, a substance that occurs naturally in the body and pulls moisture into the skin, giving you a smoother, more hydrated look. As we age, we lose collagen, fat, and bone density in the face, which leads to hollowing, sagging, and deeper lines. Filler works by replacing that lost volume and supporting the structure of the skin from within, so you look refreshed without looking different. Filler can be used to plump lips, soften nasolabial folds, fill under-eye hollows, define the jawline, lift cheeks, smooth marionette lines, and add definition to the chin. Results are immediate and look natural. Not all fillers are the same though. They vary in thickness, flexibility, and how long they last, so choosing the right product for each area really matters. A thicker, more supportive filler is better for areas like the cheeks and jawline, while a softer, more flexible product works best in the lips and under the eyes. That's why every treatment starts with a consultation to go over your goals and figure out the best approach for your face. A typical appointment takes 30 to 45 minutes. We start by cleansing the area and applying a topical numbing cream, and most fillers also contain lidocaine to keep you comfortable during the injection. Most clients describe the sensation as mild pressure rather than pain. You'll see results right away, though some swelling is normal for the first few days as everything settles into place. Good candidates for filler include anyone who wants to restore lost volume, soften lines, enhance their natural features, or refine their facial contours without surgery or downtime. Filler isn't recommended if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, have certain autoimmune conditions, or have an active skin infection in the treatment area. We'll go over your full health history during your consultation to make sure it's a good fit. Results usually last 6 to 18 months depending on the product, the area treated, and your own metabolism. Lip filler tends to metabolize faster than filler placed in the cheeks or jawline. Touch-ups can be done as needed to maintain your look, and a conservative "build" approach, where we start with less and add more at a follow-up, tends to give the most natural results. Filler also pairs well with Botox, PRF, and microneedling if you're looking to combine treatments in the same visit or over time. Book Your Appointment Patient Photos Treatment Information Side Effects Swelling, tenderness, and bruising are common; small lumps can occur temporarily as filler settles. Treatment Downtime Minimal. Most return to routine immediately, but swelling/bruising may be noticeable for several days. Treatment Aftercare Avoid intense workouts, heat, and alcohol for 24–48 hours; don’t massage the area unless instructed. Enhancement Schedule 4+ weeks before major events and consider a conservative “build” approach for the most natural results. Suitable For Clients looking to restore volume, refine contour, or soften lines; consult required to choose areas and product.
