What it is
A multi-application light and laser platform that clears redness, fades brown spots, and evens your tone with little to no downtime.
The Stellar M22 is a versatile light-based platform we use for our M22 IPL Photofacial. IPL stands for intense pulsed light — a broadband light that gently heats the pigment and blood vessels behind discoloration. A separate fractional mode, ResurFX, can go a step further to smooth texture.
The Science
How Stellar M22 works
01
Light meets pigment
the IPL delivers pulses of broadband light that brown spots and visible red vessels absorb.
02
Targets are heated
through a process called selective photothermolysis, the light warms unwanted pigment and vessels while leaving surrounding skin intact.
03
Skin clears and refines
your body naturally clears the treated pigment over the following days, and tone looks more even.
04
Texture is smoothed
where needed, the ResurFX fractional mode resurfaces the surface to soften roughness.
What it treats
Redness & Rosacea-Type Flushing
Sun Damage & Brown Spots
Uneven Tone
Visible Vessels & Capillaries
Dullness

Why Stellar M22
01Two tools in one — IPL clears color while the ResurFX mode refines texture in the same platform.
02Little to no downtime — most people return to their day with skin that looks a touch pink at most.
03Whole-face clarity — redness, brown spots, and dullness are addressed together for a more even canvas.
04Expert hands — every session is performed or supervised by appropriately licensed professionals, with settings tailored to your skin.
05Gradual, natural change — results build as your skin clears treated pigment over the days that follow.
What to expect
Many people notice brighter, more even skin within a week or two as treated pigment clears, though results vary and build gradually. Downtime is minimal, with mild redness that typically settles quickly.

Frequently asked
Does an IPL Photofacial hurt?
Most people describe a quick, warm snap with each pulse, a little like a light rubber band. It's well tolerated, and your provider will tailor the settings to your comfort and skin type.
Is there any downtime?
There's little to none. Your skin may look slightly pink for a short while, and brown spots can briefly darken before they flake away over the following days.
Is it safe for my skin tone?
IPL works best on certain skin types, so your provider will assess your skin first and tailor every setting accordingly. If IPL isn't the right fit, we'll talk through other options together.
