How Many Sessions Are Typically Needed?

Treatment plans are individualized, but general guidelines include:

• Pigmentation or sun damage: 3–5 sessions
• Rosacea or redness: 3–6 sessions
• Acne: 3–6 sessions
• Skin rejuvenation: 3 sessions for visible improvement
• Hair reduction: 6–8 sessions

Sessions are typically spaced 3–4 weeks apart.

Who Is the Best Candidate for Stellar M22 IPL?

Ideal Skin Types

Stellar M22 IPL works best for patients with lighter to medium skin tones, specifically:

• Fitzpatrick Skin Types I–III
• Select Type IV patients may be treated with conservative settings and careful provider assessment

These skin types allow IPL energy to selectively target pigment and blood vessels with a lower risk of side effects.

Good Candidates Also Include Patients Who:

• Have sun damage, freckles, or brown spots
• Experience facial redness or rosacea
• Have post-acne redness or inflammatory acne
• Want overall skin brightening and rejuvenation
• Can avoid sun exposure before and after treatment
• Are not pregnant and do not have photosensitizing conditions

Patients Who May Not Be Ideal Candidates

IPL may not be appropriate for patients who:

• Have very dark skin tones (Fitzpatrick V–VI) due to increased risk of pigmentation changes
• Are recently tanned or use self-tanner
• Have active skin infections or open wounds
• Are taking photosensitizing medications
• Have uncontrolled or deep melasma without adjunctive medical therapy

A consultation is essential to determine suitability and safety.

Important Note on Melasma

IPL may help select cases of melasma, but it must be used cautiously and often combined with medical-grade skincare and strict sun protection. Melasma typically requires a comprehensive, long-term management approach rather than a single treatment modality.

What to Expect: Before and After Treatment

Before Treatment

• Avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least two weeks
• Discontinue retinoids and exfoliating products three to five days prior
• Arrive with clean skin free of makeup, lotion, or sunscreen
• Inform your provider of medications or recent procedures

After Treatment

• Mild redness or warmth may occur for several hours
• Pigmented spots may temporarily darken before flaking off
• Use gentle skincare and daily broad-spectrum sunscreen
• Avoid heat, strenuous exercise, and sun exposure for 24–48 hours

Results continue to improve over several weeks as collagen production is stimulated.

Clinical Evidence

Intense Pulsed Light technology has been extensively studied and shown to improve pigmentation, vascular lesions, acne, and overall skin tone with a strong safety profile when performed by trained medical professionals. The Lumenis IPL platform has been used globally in medical settings for over two decades.
