Meet Our Lumenis Stellar M22 Laser & IPL System

At Subculture’s Spa, we chose the Lumenis Stellar M22 because of its versatility and ability to address a wide range of skin concerns with one advanced platform. The Stellar M22 combines multiple laser and light-based technologies, allowing us to customize treatments based on your skin, concerns, and goals.

Lumenis is the company behind the original IPL technology, and the Stellar M22 builds on that history with an advanced system capable of treating more than 30 skin concerns and indications. Depending on the technology used, treatments can target concerns such as sun damage, unwanted pigmentation, redness, visible blood vessels, uneven skin tone and texture, fine lines, scars, and more.

We invested in the Stellar M22 because we wanted one advanced platform that could do more than offer a single type of treatment. Its combination of IPL and laser technologies allows our providers to create more personalized treatment plans, whether your goal is brighter, more even-looking skin, improved texture, skin resurfacing, or treatment of a specific skin concern.

Using the Lumenis Stellar M22, we can target visible broken capillaries, small blood vessels, and areas of persistent facial redness. The laser delivers targeted energy to the unwanted vessels, causing them to gradually fade while minimizing impact on the surrounding skin. Treatments can be customized based on the size, depth, and location of the vessels for a clearer, more even-looking complexion.

Laser Treatment for Cherry Angiomas

$75

Cherry angiomas are small, bright red or purple spots caused by clusters of tiny blood vessels. Using the Lumenis Stellar M22, we can precisely target these unwanted vascular spots while minimizing impact on the surrounding skin. After treatment, the angioma may darken or form a small crust as it heals, gradually fading as the skin recovers. Treatment plans are customized based on the size, location, and number of cherry angiomas.

FAQs

IPL and laser skin resurfacing target different skin concerns. IPL Photofacials use intense pulsed light to target pigmentation, sun damage, redness, rosacea, and visible blood vessels. ResurFX laser resurfacing works deeper within the skin to stimulate collagen and improve texture, fine lines, scars, and other textural concerns. Your provider can help determine which treatment is best for your skin goals.

How long does it take to see results from IPL or ResurFX?

ResurFX can cause redness, warmth, or mild swelling following treatment. Your provider will explain what to expect and provide aftercare instructions based on your customized treatment.

How many IPL or laser skin treatments will I need?

How much downtime is there after IPL or ResurFX?

4

Downtime varies depending on the treatment and intensity. After IPL, the skin may appear temporarily red, and areas of pigmentation may darken before gradually fading. After ResurFX, you may experience redness, warmth, or mild swelling as the skin begins its renewal process. Your provider will give you specific aftercare instructions based on your treatment.


Results depend on the treatment and your individual skin. After IPL, pigmentation may initially darken before gradually fading as the skin naturally renews itself. ResurFX results develop more gradually because the treatment stimulates your body’s natural collagen production. Improvements in skin texture and quality can continue to develop following your treatment series.
