What Can I Expect After Treatment?
Immediately following treatment, you may experience some redness, depending on your customized treatment settings The redness will usually disappear within a few hours.

How Does It Work?
Photorejuvenation Technology
The IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) technology allows treatment of pigmentation and vascular imperfections, while improving overall skin appearance. Stellar M22™ IPL with Optimal Pulse Technology (OPT™) enables your clinician to customize the treatment according to your skin type and desired results, with maximum safety. Light pulses penetrate the tissue and create heat, targeting the skin imperfection in a controlled manner. The body's natural process then removes the treated tissue, while collagen and elastic fiber stimulation occurs, resulting in a visible improvement in skin tone and overall appearance.
The treatment
To ensure utmost comfort, your physician should typically apply a topical numbing cream before treatment and/or use air cooling: during treatment. Depending on your specific concern, you can expect the session to last 15-30 minutes. You may experience a warm or prickling sensation as the laser is applied to the skin, but the treatment is gentle and should not feel uncomfortable
