Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Find answers to the most common questions about Photo Therapy. If you can’t find what you’re looking for here, please contact us.
How many sessions will I need and when will I see results after photo therapy at Lumina?
Many clients notice improvement after the first session, especially for redness and visible vessels, but optimal results for pigment and texture typically require a series of 3 to 6 treatments spaced about four weeks apart. Results accumulate over weeks as the body clears treated pigment and vessels. We review your goals in the initial consultation and provide a personalized plan and realistic timeline.
Will I be able to park easily at Lumina, and is the clinic convenient if I’m coming from Arlington Heights or O’Hare?
Lumina is near O’Hare and Rosemont and offers on-site or nearby parking, making it convenient for people commuting from Arlington Heights or flying into O’Hare. The location is accessible from I‑90 and I‑294, so most clients report easy drop-off and return to their car; staff can also advise best entrance or parking lot if you call ahead.
Can I combine photo therapy with another treatment in the same appointment, like a facial or light injectable, when traveling from Arlington Heights?
Yes, many clients from Arlington Heights combine photo therapy with complementary services such as a customized facial or single injectable touch-ups. Combining services is often done in one visit, but sequencing matters: the clinician will recommend the safest order (for example, noninvasive facials before light-based treatments) and may stagger procedures to reduce irritation. Mention your plans when you book so Lumina can schedule appropriate time and staffing.
What aftercare should I expect following photo therapy and will I need to change my routine if I commute back to Arlington Heights that evening?
After photo therapy you may have mild redness or warmth for a few hours up to a day. You should avoid heavy sun exposure, wear sunscreen (SPF 30+), and skip abrasive skincare or intense workouts for 24-48 hours. Most people can comfortably drive back to Arlington Heights the same day and return to work if they feel fine, but plan for minimal makeup and protect treated skin from direct sun on the commute home.
I have a wedding in Arlington Heights in three weeks. How should I time photo therapy at Lumina so I look my best without unexpected redness or peeling on the day?
For an event three weeks away the safest approach is a short timeline plan: book a consultation as soon as possible, then schedule a single photo therapy session at least 7 to 14 days before the wedding. Many clients see initial improvement in redness and skin tone within 1 to 3 weeks, but treated pigmentation can temporarily darken and then flake over the following week. To minimize visible side effects, avoid sun exposure and tanning, stop harsh exfoliants and strong retinoids a few days before and after treatment, and use a high‑SPF sunscreen daily. Makeup can usually be applied 24 to 48 hours after treatment once any redness has calmed. If you want more dramatic results, a personalized plan created at a consultation – often recommending multiple sessions spaced 3 to 4 weeks apart – is best, so mention your event date when you call so the clinician can tailor timing and aftercare.
