Sun spots, uneven pigmentation, redness, unwanted hair, and changes in skin texture can show up differently on every person. The right laser or light-based treatment depends on the concern being treated, your skin characteristics, and your goals.

Lumenis Stellar M22® Laser & Light Treatments
The Stellar M22® is a multi-application aesthetic platform that incorporates different technologies for treating selected skin concerns.
At Elevate Medical Center, treatment options may include Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) and ResurFX™ fractional non-ablative laser resurfacing, depending on your individual needs.
Your provider will determine which technology and settings are appropriate rather than using the same approach for every patient.
IPL: Intense Pulsed Light
IPL uses broad-spectrum pulses of light that can target certain pigment and vascular concerns in the skin.
Depending on your skin and the condition being treated, IPL may be considered for:
- Sun-related pigmentation
- Freckles and age spots
- Certain forms of redness
- Visible small blood vessels
- Uneven skin tone
- Selected pigmentation concerns
IPL is different from a traditional laser because it uses a broader range of light wavelengths.

Is IPL Right for Your Skin?
IPL isn't appropriate for every skin type, pigmentation concern, or medical history. Treatment settings need to be selected carefully, particularly when treating darker or recently tanned skin.
During your consultation, your provider can assess your skin and determine whether IPL is an appropriate option.
ResurFX™ Fractional Laser Resurfacing
ResurFX™ is a fractional non-ablative laser technology designed to deliver controlled laser energy into the skin while leaving surrounding tissue intact.
It may be considered for concerns such as:
- Uneven skin texture
- Certain signs of sun-related skin damage
- Fine lines
- Skin laxity
- Selected pigmentation concerns
- Overall skin rejuvenation
Because ResurFX™ is non-ablative, it does not remove the entire surface layer of the skin. Treatment still involves a controlled healing response, and your provider will explain expected recovery based on the settings and treatment area.

Laser Treatments for Different Skin Concerns
Laser and light-based treatments aren't one-size-fits-all. During your consultation, your provider can determine which approach best matches your concern.
Selected IPL or laser treatments may help improve the appearance of certain forms of unwanted pigmentation and sun-related discoloration.
Light-based treatments may be used for certain vascular concerns, including visible small blood vessels and some forms of facial redness.
Fractional laser treatments can be used to address certain textural changes and stimulate remodeling within the skin.
Depending on the cause and severity of the lines, fractional laser resurfacing may be one option to discuss as part of a broader skin-rejuvenation plan.
The Stellar M22 platform can support certain hair-removal applications. Your provider can determine whether this treatment is appropriate for your hair and skin characteristics.
Your Treatment Starts With a Skin Assessment
Before choosing a laser treatment, your provider needs to understand what you're treating and how your skin is likely to respond.
Your consultation may include:
- Assessment of your skin concern
- Skin type and pigmentation evaluation
- Medical and treatment history
- Review of medications and skincare products
- Discussion of your aesthetic goals
- Selection of an appropriate technology and treatment settings
- Expected results and limitations
- Potential risks and downtime
This evaluation is particularly important when treating pigmentation or darker skin tones, where inappropriate settings can increase the risk of unwanted pigment changes.

How Many Laser Treatments Will I Need?
The number of sessions depends on the concern being treated, the technology used, your skin characteristics, and your response to treatment.
Some concerns may require a series of treatments rather than one appointment. Your provider can recommend an appropriate schedule after evaluating your skin.
Results also develop differently depending on the procedure. Some changes may become visible relatively quickly, while treatments that rely on gradual skin remodeling may take longer to assess.
Why Choose Elevate Medical Center for Laser Treatments?
At Elevate Medical Center, laser treatment begins with matching the technology to the patient.
Rather than assuming every pigmentation issue, redness concern, or texture change should receive the same procedure, your provider evaluates the skin and discusses appropriate options.
Your consultation can cover:
- Which technology may be appropriate
- Why a particular treatment is being recommended
- Expected benefits and limitations
- Potential side effects and risks
- Recovery and aftercare
- Number and timing of treatments
- Alternative aesthetic options
