At SkinMedics on Cohen Street, we believe that achieving clear, radiant skin requires intelligent technology. For non-invasive skin tone correction and rejuvenation, we use the Lumenis Stellar M22™ IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)—an industry-leading, medical-grade light therapy platform designed to restore brightness, clarity, and balance to your skin.

Whether you are looking to fade stubborn sun spots, calm persistent redness, or refresh a dull complexion, Stellar M22™ IPL targets deep-seated discoloration while keeping the surrounding skin surface completely protected.

How Stellar M22™ IPL Works

Unlike standard lasers that use a single wavelength of light, IPL delivers a broad spectrum of light energy into the deeper layers of the skin.

  • Targeting Discoloration: The light energy is selectively absorbed by pigment (melanin) in sunspots and freckles, as well as hemoglobin (redness) in broken capillaries.
  • Gentle Breakdown: The light converts to precise thermal energy, gently breaking down excess pigment and collapsing damaged micro-vessels, which your body naturally clears over time.
  • Collagen Stimulation: The gentle heating effect encourages fresh collagen production in the dermis, improving subtle fine lines and overall skin texture.
  • Optimal Pulse Technology (OPT™): Powered by Lumenis’ proprietary OPT™ and continuous contact cooling (SapphireCool™), the system delivers smooth, uniform energy pulses with maximum skin comfort and protection.

What Can Stellar M22™ IPL Treat?

Our clinical IPL photofacial is versatile and highly effective for a wide range of common skin concerns:

  • Sun Damage & Pigmentation: Fades sunspots, age spots, freckles, and uneven brown patches.
  • Redness & Rosacea: Reduces diffuse facial redness, flushing, and small broken blood vessels or spider veins.
  • Active Acne & Congestion: Helps target acne-causing bacteria and calm underlying skin inflammation.
  • Dullness & Early Photoaging: Brightens tired-looking skin while refining overall texture and tone.

What to Expect During Your Appointment

  1. Consultation & Customization: Your clinician evaluates your skin type and fits the device with specialized filters to target your specific concern safely and effectively.
  2. The Treatment (approx. 20–30 minutes): A cool gel is applied to the skin. As the handpiece glides across your face, you will feel brief, warm pulses of light—often described as a light flick against the skin—tempered instantly by integrated cooling.
  3. Post-Treatment Experience: Mild temporary warmth or flushing is normal immediately following the procedure. Pigmented spots may darken temporarily before flaking off naturally within 5 to 7 days, revealing a clearer, brighter layer beneath.

Who is Stellar M22™ IPL For?

This treatment is ideal if you want a proven, non-ablative solution to reverse visible sun damage and redness without disrupting your daily routine.

Testimonials

I was sent to Dr Bezzina by my GP for a huge lipoma on my back, it was grapefruit sized. Dr Bezzina surgically removed it and I’m so impressed with the outcome, others told me it couldn’t be done without a general anaesthetic and for four times the cost! Dr Bezzina is not super cheap but well worth his expertise
I was referred by my gp to Dr Bezzina for skin cancer removal on my face. He did a great job and pain free. Looks really neat and Dr Bezzina is just a really friendly guy that loves to have a chat. Definitely would recommend him 🙂
I was referred to Dr Damien by my usual GP to remove a skin cancer the the side of my nose, Damien surgically removed it in what was a largely painless process. His bedside manner was fantastic and he has great nursing support. Now 6 weeks later and you can hardly tell I have a skin flap on my nose! So pleased! Thank you for your hard work!
Dr Bezzina performed minor surgery on me today for a skin lesion. I was very happy with his expertise, patient engagement, explanations when asked. I will become a regular client.
Nothing but magic! Put me at ease, excellent job and worth every $
Damien was very professional and friendly. He explained things very clearly and provided great advice. I’ll be back for my annual skin check.
Excellent advice. Very professional and easy to talk to. Recommended.
Bedside manner is wonderful, warm and knowledgeable. Left feeling enlightened. I had surgery for a skin cancer on my hand and I still can’t believe the result are so good! Thank you again, 100% recommend and I love the country music playing during the surgery!

Damien removed the melanoma within 7 days and healed beautifully! Thank you again
