What is Photofacial (Stella M22)?
Photofacial (Stella M22) is a treatment that uses light to address skin concerns such as blemishes and pigmentation on the face. By passing the light through a filter, it produces various effects.
Compared to laser treatments, this treatment uses a milder light, and the sapphire glass surface of the device cools the skin while emitting the light, resulting in less downtime and minimal discomfort.
For those with specific concerns, it is recommended to choose specialized machines such as HIFU or Potenza, which can be tailored to particular issues. However, photofacial is particularly suitable for those looking for overall skin improvement and a wide range of benefits.
Recommended for the Following Concerns
