What is IPL with Lumenis Stellar M22?
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is a broad-spectrum light therapy used to target sun spots, rosacea, pigmentation, and general skin rejuvenation. At Dr Hans Clinics, we use the Lumenis Stellar M22, a multi-application platform with IPL, ResurFX™, Multi-Spot Nd:YAG, and Q-Switched Nd:YAG capabilities. It’s one of the most studied and trusted systems worldwide .
How it works?
IPL delivers light pulses absorbed by melanin (pigmentation) or hemoglobin (redness), converting to heat and breaking up uneven color or dilated vessels.
Indications
● Pigmentation (sun spots, freckles, melasma)
● Redness, rosacea, broken capillaries
● Skin rejuvenation, texture refinement
● (Optional light hair removal for lighter tones)

What the Evidence Says
Clinically shown to reduce pigmentation and redness with cumulative improvements over multiple sessions. Stellar M22’s multi-modal function increases versatility and safety across skin types.
Skin Type Safety
With adjustable filters and energy levels, Stellar M22 can be used safely on Fitzpatrick I–V, though darker skin (IV–V) requires more conservative settings to reduce risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

FAQs
How many IPL sessions will I need?
Most patients need 3–6 sessions spaced 3–4 weeks apart for best results. Maintenance may be required once or twice a year, depending on lifestyle and skin type.
Is IPL painful?
Discomfort is minimal — often described as a quick, warm snap (like a rubber band). The Stellar M22 has integrated cooling for increased comfort.
Is there downtime after IPL?
Usually minimal. Redness and mild swelling may last 24–48 hours. Pigmentation may darken before naturally flaking away over a week. You can usually return to work immediately.
Can IPL be used on all skin tones?
Stellar M22 is versatile and safe on Fitzpatrick I–V. For very dark skin (type VI), caution is required, and IPL is generally not recommended.
Is IPL the same as laser?
No. IPL uses a broad-spectrum light, whereas lasers use a single wavelength. IPL is great for diffuse pigmentation and redness; lasers are better for precise, targeted issues.
Can IPL treat melasma?
IPL may help lighten melasma, but it carries a risk of rebound pigmentation. We assess carefully and may recommend other treatments (like tranexamic acid, microneedling with growth factors, or polynucleotides) instead.
How soon will I see results?
Some improvements are visible after the first session, but the best results usually appear after 3+ sessions as collagen remodels and pigmentation clears.
Who should avoid IPL?
● Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals
● People taking photosensitizing medication (e.g., isotretinoin within the last 6–12 months)
● Patients with recent sunburn or tanning
● Those with uncontrolled skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis in the treatment area
What makes Stellar M22 different?
● Multi-application system (IPL + ResurFX™ + Nd:YAG)
● Clinically validated and FDA-cleared
● Safer presets for a wider range of concerns
● Used in over 90 peer-reviewed clinical studies
Is IPL safe long-term?
Yes, when performed by trained clinicians. There is no evidence of long-term harm. Risks are temporary redness, swelling, and pigment changes, which are rare with the Stellar M22 when protocols are followed.
