FAQs for M22 Stellar
1. What is M22 Stellar?
M22 Stellar is a versatile and advanced multi-application laser system used for a variety of skin conditions and treatments. It combines different technologies, including Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), Nd
laser, and ResurFX fractional non-ablative laser, to address pigmentation, vascular lesions, skin texture, and other skin concerns.
2. How does M22 Stellar work?

- NdLaser: Treats vascular lesions and veins by emitting laser energy that is absorbed by blood vessels, causing them to collapse and fade.
- ResurFX Fractional Laser: Stimulates collagen production by creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin, improving skin texture and reducing scars and wrinkles.
3. What conditions can M22 Stellar treat?
- Pigmentation: Sunspots, age spots, freckles, and melasma.

5. What can I expect during the treatment?
During the treatment, the practitioner will select the appropriate handpiece and settings based on the specific condition being treated. A cooling gel may be applied to the skin for comfort. The handpiece is then moved across the skin, delivering light or laser energy. You may feel a mild snapping or warm sensation. The procedure typically lasts 20 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area.
6. Is there any downtime after the procedure?
M22 Stellar treatments typically have minimal downtime. You may experience mild redness, swelling, or a sunburn-like sensation immediately after the procedure, which usually subsides within a few hours to a day. Most patients can resume normal activities immediately, although specific aftercare instructions should be followed.
7. How many treatments are needed?
The number of treatments required varies depending on the condition being treated and individual skin response. Generally, a series of 3 to 6 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart is recommended for optimal results.
8. When will I see results?
Results from M22 Stellar treatments can vary based on the condition being treated. Some improvements may be visible after the first session, but significant results typically appear after a series of treatments. Skin texture and tone continue to improve over several weeks to months as collagen production is stimulated.
9. Are there any side effects?
Side effects are generally mild and temporary, including redness, swelling, and mild discomfort at the treatment site. Rarely, more severe side effects such as blistering, scarring, or changes in skin pigmentation can occur.
10. Can M22 Stellar be combined with other treatments?
