Treatment for clear skin
Rosacea, couperose and blemishes are three different skin conditions that are often perceived as aesthetic problems and can affect self-confidence.
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that mainly affects the face and is characterized by persistent redness, visible blood vessels and inflamed areas of skin. Couperose is a similar skin condition characterized by dilated blood vessels in the facial skin. The affected areas of skin often show a permanent reddening, which is particularly noticeable on the cheeks, nose and chin. Hemangiomas are small, red or purple skin lesions caused by abnormal clusters of blood vessels. They often appear as spots or lumps and can occur anywhere on the skin. Laser treatment with the Lumenis Stellar M22™ laser can help treat these skin conditions. The M22™ laser is an advanced medical device specifically designed for skin applications.

How does an IPL laser work and how does it differ from other laser treatments?
An IPL laser (Intense Pulsed Light) works with high-energy light, which is emitted onto the skin in short pulses. The light is absorbed by certain pigments in the tissue and converted into heat. As a result, unwanted pigment changes, redness and vascular lesions are treated in a targeted manner. Compared to other lasers, IPL technology enables a wider range of applications and effective treatment of various skin problems.
How safe and effective is IPL treatment?
IPL treatment is safe and effective when performed by an experienced and qualified professional. The procedure has been thoroughly researched and is widely used in medical aesthetics. The advanced technology of the Lumenis M22-Stellar ensures a precise and controlled delivery of light energy to gently treat the skin and achieve optimal results.
How many IPL treatments are required and how long does it take for results to become visible?
The number of IPL treatments required varies depending on individual skin needs and the problem to be treated. As a rule, several sessions at intervals of a few weeks are required to achieve optimal results. The first results may be visible after the first treatment, but the full effect develops over the course of the treatment series. A professional skin analysis and consultation with an experienced doctor or specialist is important to create a customized treatment plan.
