A personalised plan for pigmentation, redness and dullness
Stellar IPL combines intense pulsed light with different filters, energy levels and pulse settings to address pigmentation, visible redness and uneven tone. Treatment is tailored by area and current skin condition, with goals that include more even tone, brightness and refined-looking texture.
Multiple filter optionsAdjustable energy and pulsesPersonalised area-by-area treatment
Consultation identifies pigmentation type, the cause and distribution of redness, and recent sun exposure. Sun spots, freckles and vascular redness can be discussed individually. Melasma requires assessment of suitable treatment and skincare first.
02
Filters and pulses refine the plan
Different filters select the appropriate light spectrum, alongside energy and pulse settings. The physician adjusts treatment areas and priorities according to skin tone and local responses.
03
Contact cooling supports comfort
SapphireCool cooling helps cool the skin surface during energy delivery. Tell the physician about noticeable stinging or heat so settings can be adjusted.

Frequently asked questions
How is Stellar IPL different from a laser?
Stellar uses broad-spectrum intense pulsed light with filters selecting the spectrum. Lasers use specific wavelengths. Selection depends on the pigmentation, redness and texture concerns being addressed.
Can melasma be treated directly?
A physician should distinguish melasma from other pigmentation and assess whether light treatment is appropriate. Share sun-exposure history, medication and previous treatment responses.
How many sessions are usually planned, and how far apart?
A plan of approximately 3–5 sessions, spaced 3–4 weeks apart, can be discussed and adjusted for pigmentation type, redness and responses to each session.
Is recovery lengthy?
Most people can continue daily activities. Temporary redness or warmth may occur; pigmented areas may darken temporarily or form small crusts. Moisturise, use sun protection and allow natural shedding. Allow time before important events.
Can acne and acne scars be addressed in the same plan?
When acne, post-acne marks or depressed scars coexist, medication, light treatment or radiofrequency microneedling can be planned separately within an overall approach. Existing depressed scars require assessment of scar type and suitable combinations.
When can I wear makeup afterwards?
When skin is stable, without broken skin or persistent irritation, makeup may be resumed following the physician’s instructions. Use gentle cleansing and moisturising products and minimise friction initially.
