LUMENIS STELLAR M22 IPL
The future of skin rejuvenation!
At Balance Clinic in Navan, we have the highest-standard advanced skincare technologies – Introducing Lumenis Stellar M22 IPL..
What is Lumenis Stellar M22 IPL?
Photorejuvenation refers to the use of Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) to treat conditions related to sun-induced skin damage and vascularity issues.
IPL uses a broad spectrum of light which is primarily absorbed by melanin and oxyhemoglobin and effectively reduces the appearance of sunspots, capillaries and elastosis and builds collagen. The IPL treatment also visibly reduced the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
The M22’s advanced IPL technology precisely targets common skin concerns — including fine lines and wrinkles, pigmentation, sun damage, acne, scarring, redness, rosacea, and broken capillaries.
It helps reduce both the appearance and recurrence of these stubborn conditions, revealing clearer, healthier-looking skin.
How the Lumenis Stellar M22 IPL Works
The Stellar M22’s IPL treatments use broad spectrum light waves that deeply penetrate the lower layers of skin to repair damaged skin by stimulating the body’s natural collagen and elastin production.
The M22 uses customizable filters to effectively target specific skin concerns. This skin rejuvenation treatment promotes a smoother, more glowing complexion – revealing your most radiant skin.
The Stellar M22 ensures safe treatments with minimal downtime.

What to Expect During Treatment
To begin a cool gel will be applied to the treatment area. The Stellar M22 device will be gently glided across the treatment area with a cooled applicator for comfort and safety.
The device releases a broad spectrum of pulsed light that penetrates the skin and targets the specific skin concerns rooted in the deep layers of the skin. The targeted light breaks down pigmented cells that cause the skin concerns.
The heating effect of the treatments naturally boosts collagen and elastin production reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The treatment reveals radiant skin and improved skin strength.
Most clients require 3–6 sessions, depending on the indication and individual response. Maintenance treatments may be recommended.
Fine Lines and Wrinkles
The Stellar M22 IPL reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating collagen production and improving overall skin texture. Using precise light pulses, it targets the deeper layers of the skin to promote natural healing and renewal without damaging the surface.
The treatment helps restore a smoother, more youthful complexion with minimal downtime, making it an effective, non-invasive option for those seeking to revitalize aging or sun-damaged skin.
Thread veins
The Stellar M22 IPL can visibly reduce the appearance of thread veins and broken capillaries.
Targeted light energy is absorbed by the blood vessels, causing them to gradually collapse and be naturally reabsorbed by the body through its natural healing process. This results in clearer, smoother, and more even-toned skin, reducing the appearance of stubborn thread veins.
Rosacea
The Stellar M22 IPL is an effective treatment for rosacea, targeting persistent redness, flushing, and visible blood vessels. Using precise pulses of light, it gently reduces dilated capillaries and calms inflammation, helping to even out skin tone and restore a healthier, more balanced complexion.
The light targets pigmented cells, reducing the appearance of redness.
Pigmentation
The Stellar M22 IPL specifically targets pigmentation issues such as sun spots, age spots, and uneven skin tone. Its precise light pulses break down excess melanin and pigmentation in the skin, which is naturally healed by the body, revealing a brighter, more even complexion.
The treatment is gentle, non-invasive, and requires minimal downtime, making it an ideal solution for rejuvenating and revitalizing the skin.
Acne
The Stellar M22 IPL offers a powerful yet gentle solution for acne-prone skin, treating both acne and acne-related redness.
Using advanced light technology, it targets acne-causing bacteria beneath the surface while calming redness and inflammation. This dual action not only helps clear active breakouts but also supports the skin’s natural healing process, reducing the appearance of post-acne marks and promoting a smoother, more balanced complexion.
Over a series of treatments, the skin becomes visibly clearer, calmer, and more radiant — with little to no downtime.
