Next-Generation Laser Innovation
At Pacific Clinic, we prioritize evidence-based technology. The Lumenis Stellar M22™ is a gold-standard platform that redefines the hair removal experience through two proprietary innovations:
Optimal Pulse Technology (OPT™): Delivers consistent, uniform energy to the follicle, preventing the “hot spots” common in lesser devices.
SapphireCool™ Technology: A continuous cooling mechanism that protects the dermis, ensuring a treatment that is as comfortable as it is effective.
Where Clinical Excellence Meets Discretion
Unlike high-volume med-spas, Pacific Clinic is a physician-led center. We treat hair removal as a medical procedure, not just a beauty service.

Why Choose Stellar IPL?
Treatment Solutions
Vascular Lesions & Rosacea
Stop covering up redness. The Stellar IPL targets hemoglobin in visible blood vessels, causing them to collapse and be naturally absorbed by your body.
- Results: Up to 78% clearance of facial rosacea.
- Targets: Spider veins, broken capillaries, and flushing.
Active Acne Clearing
A gentle, non-invasive alternative to oral medications. Specialized acne filters destroy bacteria and calm overactive oil glands.
- Results: Average 49% reduction in acne severity after 4 sessions.
- Targets: Inflammatory acne and post-inflammatory pigmentation.
Hyperpigmentation & Sun Damage
Fade dark spots and even out your skin tone. Broad-spectrum light fragments melanin clusters, which then flake off naturally.
- Results: Over 70% clearance of pigmented lesions.
- Targets: Age spots, freckles, melasma, and sun damage.
Who Is Stellar M22™ IPL Best For?
Stellar M22™ IPL is designed for individuals seeking a clinically guided solution to visible skin concerns without the disruption of downtime. Rather than a one-size-fits-all cosmetic service, this treatment is tailored to patients who value precision, safety, and medically informed care.
You may be a strong candidate if you are experiencing:
- Persistent facial redness or rosacea
- Sun damage, dark spots, or uneven pigmentation
- Mild to moderate acne or post-inflammatory discoloration
- Visible blood vessels, such as spider veins or broken capillaries
It is also well-suited for those looking to maintain overall skin clarity and tone over time. With physician oversight and customizable settings, the treatment can be adapted across a wide range of skin types, including Fitzpatrick I–VI.
Common Treatment Areas
Stellar M22™ IPL is commonly used on areas where tone, texture, and vascular concerns are most visible.
Frequently treated areas include:
- Face
- Neck
- Chest (décolletage)
- Hands
In some cases, treatment may also be performed on areas such as the back or shoulders, particularly when addressing acne or pigmentation.
Each area is approached with careful adjustment to ensure appropriate coverage and consistency across different skin regions.
How Stellar M22™ IPL Works
Stellar M22™ IPL uses controlled pulses of light energy to target visible skin irregularities beneath the surface.
During treatment, specific wavelengths are absorbed by pigment and vascular structures in the skin. These targeted elements are then gradually cleared by the body’s natural processes, leading to a more even and refined appearance over time.
Because the system can be adjusted for different concerns, it allows for a versatile approach within a single treatment session.
Your Treatment Timeline
While individual responses vary, IPL treatments typically follow a consistent progression. Understanding this process helps set clear expectations.
- Immediately After Treatment: Mild redness or warmth may occur and typically resolves within a few hours.
- Days 1–7: Pigmented areas may temporarily darken before gradually fading.
- Weeks 2–4: Visible improvement in skin tone and clarity becomes more noticeable.
- Ongoing Sessions: A series of treatments is often recommended to support more complete and sustained results over time.
Why Choose IPL for Skin Rejuvenation?
IPL offers a practical approach for patients seeking improvement across multiple skin concerns without interruption to daily activities.
Rather than focusing on a single issue, it allows for broader skin refinement through a non-invasive method that can be incorporated into ongoing care.
Key advantages include:
- Ability to address multiple visible concerns in one session
- Consistent, controlled delivery of light energy
- Comfortable treatment experience
- Suitable for both corrective treatment and maintenance
This makes IPL a flexible option for patients who prefer gradual, natural-looking improvements.
Can IPL Be Combined with Other Treatments?
IPL is often incorporated into a broader treatment approach depending on individual goals.
Its ability to improve overall skin clarity and tone makes it a complementary option alongside other aesthetic procedures. When appropriate, a combined plan can be developed to support more comprehensive results over time.
Your provider will determine the most suitable approach based on your skin profile and treatment objectives.

Frequently Asked Questions
The device emits light energy that is absorbed by the melanin in the hair follicle. This heat inhibits future growth without damaging the surrounding skin.
Yes. The Stellar M22’s customizable settings allow us to safely treat darker skin tones by adjusting the pulse to bypass the surface pigment and target the root directly.
Your session begins with a clinical assessment. A cool coupling gel is applied, and the SapphireCool™ tip glides over the skin. Most patients describe the sensation as a light flick against the skin.
Because hair grows in cycles, we typically recommend a series of 6 to 8 sessions to ensure we capture every follicle in its active growth phase.
