Photofractional Laser Treatment

Why PhotofractionalTM?

An optimally tailored treatment that addresses the early signs of aging, and provides noticeable results for pigmentation, age/sun spots, fine lines and overall skin appearance.

What is it?

The Stellar M22TM PhotofractionalTM solution

The Stellar M22TM PhotofractionalTM treatment is a complete skin rejuvenation solution, enabling your physician to offer you remarkable results on a range of skin aging concerns such as age and sun spots, fine lines, acne scars, uneven texture and skin tone. Our unique rejuvenation technology combines two solutions, IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) and ResurFXTM non-ablative skin resurfacing, so that both skin tone and texture can be treated sequentially.

Is It right for me?

Stellar M22TM treatments are not suitable for everyone and may carry some risks. PhotofractionalTM is not suitable when you have active infections, viral, fungal or bacterial diseases, inflammatory skin conditions or skin cancer. Risks may include: redness, swelling, change of pigmentation and scarring. Be sure to consult with your treatment provider before choosing this treatment.

What should I expect?

When will I see results?

The Stellar M22TM PhotofractionalTM treatment works with your skin to stimulate deep collagen regeneration over a sequence of treatments. Typically, about 3 sessions are needed to have visible improvement in the skin texture and fine lines. Optimal results are achieved after 3-5 sessions in 2-6 weeks intervals.

What can I expect after treatment?

Immediately following treatment, you may experience some redness or swelling, depending on your customized treatment settings. The swelling will diminish after a few hours and the redness as quickly as the next day or over the next few days. Most patients are able to resume their daily activities the very same day. Typically your physician should advise to stay out of direct sun for a few weeks following the treatment and to apply sun screen.

How does it work?

Photofractional Technology

By combining both IPL and ResurFXTM technologies in the

same treatment session, both skin pigmentation and texture

can be treated at the same time. Stellar M22TM IPL technology removes both unwanted pigmentation and blood vessels from the skin, while the ResurFXTM fractional laser stimulates the production of new collagen and elastic fibers in the deeper layers of the skin. Stimulating new collagen production is the key to a more radiant, youthful looking skin.

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.
