An effective treatment that dramatically improves the appearance of mature or new stretch marks on:
What should I expect?
When will I see the results?
The Stellar M22™ Photofractional™ treatment works with your skin to stimulate deep collagen regeneration over a sequence of treatments. The result is a visible smoothening of the affected stretch mark area and an improvement in the discoloration. Usually, after the first session, you will begin to notice improvement. Typically, 3-5 sessions in 2-6 weeks intervals are needed to obtain optimal results. However, you will continue to see improvements for up to six months following the treatment.
What can I expect after treatment?
Immediately following treatment, you may experience some redness or swelling, depending on your customized treatment settings. The swelling will diminish after a few hours and the redness as quickly as the next day or over the next few days. Most patients are able to resume their daily activities the very same day. Typically your physician should advise you to stay out of the direct sun for a few weeks following the treatment and to apply sunscreen.
What is it?
The Stellar M22™ Photofractional™ solution
The Stellar M22™ Photofractional™ treatment is a highly effective method for improving the appearance of stretch marks on different areas of your body. Our unique technology combines two solutions, IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) and ResurFX™ non-ablative skin resurfacing, so that both skin tone and texture can be treated sequentially.
Is It right for me?
Stellar M22™ treatments are not suitable for everyone and may carry some risks. Photofractional™ is not suitable when you have active infections, viral, fungal, or bacterial diseases, inflammatory skin conditions, or skin cancer. Risks may include redness, swelling, change of pigmentation, and scarring. Be sure to consult with your treatment provider before choosing this treatment.
How does it work?
Photofractional™ technology
By combining both IPL and ResurFX™ technologies in the same treatment session, both skin pigmentation and texture can be treated at the same time. Stellar M22™ IPL technology removes unwanted pigment from the skin, while the ResurFX™ fractional laser stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin fibers in the deeper layers of the skin. Stimulating new collagen production is the key to smoother, tighter-looking skin.
The treatment
To ensure utmost comfort, your physician should typically apply a topical numbing cream before treatment and/or use air cooling during treatment. Depending on the area being treated, you can expect the session to last 15-30 minutes. You may experience a warm or prickling sensation as the laser is applied to the skin, but the treatment is gentle and should not feel uncomfortable.
Laser microbeams heat the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin fibers, and intense pulses of light address pigmentation.
The advanced scanner delivers the laser beams in a precise manner with integrated cooling to ensure maximum comfort.
