Treat over 30 skin concerns in a single session with Stellar M22 treatments in Beverly Hills and Pasadena. At Leif Rogers, MD, we use this innovative photofacial treatment to streamline your skincare and deliver the benefits you need without lengthy treatment or recovery times.

Resetting Your Complexion in a Single Visit

Sun damage rarely presents with isolated symptoms, often showing redness, pigmentation, and uneven skin tone together on the skin. At Leif Rogers, MD, we offer Stellar M22 treatments to patients in Beverly Hills and Pasadena who want a comprehensive approach to overlapping concerns without scheduling multiple separate treatments.

What Is Stellar M22?

Stellar M22 is a multi-modality platform that combines intense pulsed light (IPL) with additional laser technology, allowing a single device to treat pigment, redness, and vascular concerns together. This versatility makes it particularly effective for photofacial treatments addressing widespread sun damage, acne marks, and discoloration. Our Beverly Hills and Pasadena patients often choose Stellar M22 because it offers the following benefits:

Treatment of multiple skin concerns in one session
Reduction of visible redness and broken vessels
Improvement in sun spots and uneven pigmentation
A brighter, more even overall complexion

Why Choose Leif Rogers, MD?

Few devices require as much technical range as the Stellar M22, since its multiple handpieces are each suited to different concerns and skin types. Our aesthetic team has trained extensively in each of these modalities, meaning your treatment is deliberately selected rather than defaulting to a single generic setting for every patient. Your aesthetician will work under the direct supervision of our founder, Dr. Leif Rogers, MD, FACS, to ensure your treatment settings are fully aligned to your skin’s unique needs. Patients throughout Beverly Hills and Pasadena also value our practice’s plastic surgery lens, delivering meticulous precision and clinical excellence with every non-surgical treatment. If we spot a cause for concern during our review of your pigmentation concerns, we’ll call in Dr. Rogers for a physician-led skin assessment. Here, you have access to a broader level of medical judgment than a standalone med spa can typically offer during your treatment planning.

What to Expect From Your Stellar M22 Treatments in Beverly Hills and Pasadena

Choosing the Right Handpiece for You

Stellar M22 offers multiple treatment handpieces, each calibrated for specific concerns such as hyperpigmentation, vascular issues, and overall skin rejuvenation. Your aesthetician will select the appropriate handpiece, or combination of handpieces, based on your skin tone and the concerns you most want addressed.

Treating 30+ Skin Concerns

Stellar M22 is one of the most powerful skincare devices available, treating nearly three dozen individual skin concerns. This advanced system can address overlapping concerns, including the following:

Sun spots and uneven pigmentation
Facial redness and rosacea
Visible broken capillaries and spider veins
Overall dullness and uneven tone
Acne and acne marks
Visible signs of aging
Moles and lesions
Unwanted tattoos
Hair removal

Your treatment plan will combine the handpieces best suited to your skin’s specific needs.

Your Stellar M22 Experience

To begin your session, your aesthetician will cleanse your skin and apply a cooling gel to soothe your skin. Then, they’ll carefully apply the Stellar M22 device in sections across your treatment area, delivering pulses of light energy calibrated to your chosen handpiece settings. Sessions typically last 20-45 minutes, depending on the number of areas treated.

Establishing Your Unique Treatment Schedule

Most patients benefit from a series of three to five sessions spaced three to four weeks apart, particularly when addressing more established pigment or vascular concerns. Patients who are targeting mild, early-stage sun damage may have a shorter treatment schedule, which Dr. Rogers and your aesthetician will establish.

Schedule a Consultation

Comfortable, Patient-First Recovery

Recovery after Stellar M22 is generally mild, though you may notice slight redness or sensitivity, similar to a sunburn, for a few hours as your skin clears treated pigment and vessels. Treated pigment often darkens temporarily over the following days before flaking away naturally.

Most patients return to normal activities, including social gatherings, work, and exercise, on the same day, making this treatment convenient for those balancing full schedules in Beverly Hills or Pasadena. We recommend limiting direct, prolonged sun exposure for at least a few days to prevent irritating your healing skin.

Your Post-Treatment Process

Following your Stellar M22 session, our team will share aftercare guidance to protect your results as your skin responds to treatment. This guidance may include the following:

Sun protection and exposure requirements
Gentle cleansing and moisturizing recommendations
Flaking and peeling management strategies
Skincare ingredients to avoid until you’re fully healed
Side effects to monitor
Makeup application timing to avoid irritation

Throughout the rest of your treatment series, you’ll return to either our Beverly Hills or Pasadena practice for short follow-up visits with your aesthetician. There, they’ll track your skin’s progress and adjust your handpiece selection as needed.

A Brighter, More Balanced Complexion

Because Stellar M22 addresses pigment and vascular concerns simultaneously, most patients notice a visibly brighter, more even complexion within two to three weeks of their first session. Your skin will continue to improve as cells in the deepest layers respond to treatment and form healthier structures.

Stellar M22 Frequently Asked Questions

Can Stellar M22 treat rosacea?

Yes. Stellar M22's vascular handpiece is commonly used to reduce the redness and visible blood vessels associated with rosacea. Because rosacea is a chronic condition, periodic maintenance treatments are typically recommended to help maintain long-term improvement.

Is Stellar M22 safe for darker skin tones?

Treatment suitability depends on the handpiece and settings being used. During your consultation, your aesthetician will evaluate your skin tone and customize your treatment plan to determine which Stellar M22 modalities can be used safely and effectively.

How is Stellar M22 different from a single-wavelength IPL treatment?

Unlike traditional single-wavelength IPL systems, Stellar M22 features multiple handpieces that allow your aesthetician to customize treatment for pigmentation, redness, vascular concerns, and overall skin rejuvenation using a single platform.

Can Stellar M22 be combined with other skincare treatments?

Yes. Stellar M22 is often combined with treatments such as microneedling or medical-grade skincare to enhance and maintain your results. Your aesthetician will recommend the appropriate timing and sequencing for combination treatments based on your individualized treatment plan.
