If you’re noticing pigmentation, brown spots, redness or uneven skin tone caused by years of sun exposure, you’re not alone. Sun damage is one of the most common skin concerns we see. The good news? One treatment consistently stands out as the most effective, safe and clinically proven option for treating sun damage, the Stellar M22.
What Is Sun Damage?
Sun damage occurs when UV exposure causes brown spots and freckles, sunspots, broken capillaries and redness. It can also cause uneven skin tone, Dull, rough skin texture as well as fine lines and premature ageing. Over time, this damage builds up, even if you’ve been careful in recent years.
The Stellar M22 by Lumenis is a gold-standard IPL system used by medical and aesthetic professionals worldwide. It’s not a basic IPL, it’s medical-grade technology that allows us to precisely target pigmentation, redness and skin discolouration while keeping surrounding skin safe.
How Stellar M22 Works
Stellar M22 delivers controlled pulses of light into the skin. This light energy is absorbed and targets the pigment in sun spots and freckles as well as haemoglobin in broken capillaries and redness. Once absorbed, the light converts to heat and breaks down excess pigment into tiny particles, it then collapses visible capillaries and redness and stimulates collagen and skin renewal. Your body then naturally clears away the damaged pigment over the following days and weeks, revealing clearer, brighter, more even skin. Think of it as gently “resetting” your skin tone from within, without damaging the surface.
What Can Stellar M22 Treat?
Stellar M22 is ideal for:
- Sunspots and age spots

- Redness and rosacea
- Broken capillaries

Now that we are deep into winter, it is the ideal season for IPL treatments. IPL requires avoiding strong UV exposure before and after treatment. Winter naturally reduces this risk. As well as lower UV, lower baseline pigmentation allows the laser to target sun damage more precisely and effectively, and skin heals better when it’s not being stressed by heat, sweat, and UV rays. Treating sun damage in winter means your skin will be glowing, clear and even by spring and summer.
