What is Photofacial ?

Photofacial is a type of light therapy (phototherapy) that is non-invasive.
It can be used to treat a wide range of skin problems.
It is expected to improve skin problems such as spots, freckles, dullness, redness, fine lines and wrinkles, and large pores,
Because it does little damage to the skin, this treatment is preferred by many patients, both men and women.
This treatment is often abbreviated as IPL treatment.

IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light. It is a treatment that eliminates skin problems by irradiating special light.

    Characteristics of IPL light therapy

    Features of IPL Light Therapy
    IPL is an abbreviation for Intense Pulsed Light.
    By irradiating the skin with special light called Intense Pulsed Light, melanin pigment, which is the cause of skin problems, is temporarily damaged,
    This treatment method temporarily damages melanin pigments and capillaries, which are the cause of skin problems, and takes care of skin problems.
    It is said to rejuvenate aging skin.

    Reference: Intense pulsed light therapy /Vanessa Ngan, Staff Writer, 2005.

    It also promotes collagen regeneration in the dermal layer, improving skin elasticity and vascularity, and leads to beautiful skin from within.

Improvement Effects of
Photofacial

  • 01

    Blemishes

    Reacts with the melanin pigment in spots to break down melanin.
    Since the light acts on the excess melanin pigment produced, it can be expected to lighten a wide range of spots, freckles, and melasma.
    The reacted melanin is then expelled as waste through skin turnover and floats on the surface of the skin, where it gradually peels off.
    Therefore, it is said to be effective in lightening spots.

  • 02

    Redness

    It works on the red pigment of inflamed acne and red face.
    It also damages capillaries on the surface of the skin, thus shrinking excess capillaries that have spread to the surface of the face.
    This reduces the appearance of redness on the surface of the face.

  • 03

    Dullness

    Light irradiation activates cellular activity and promotes collagen production.
    Improvement of uneven coloration such as dullness of the entire face and pigmented brown dark circles can be seen with the heat energy of light therapy.

  • 04

    Pores

    Pores that are open due to excessive sebum secretion and sagging pores due to aging can be tightened, leading to firm and toned skin.
    It is said to be effective in treating blackhead pores by reacting with melanin pigments in the pore area.
    It can tighten pores that are open due to excessive sebum secretion and sagging pores, leading to firm and well-defined skin.

    Light therapy activates fibroblast cells, which promotes the production of collagen and other substances, thereby increasing the water retention capacity of the skin.
    As a result, elasticity and firmness appear, and sagging skin is improved.

Features of Stella M22

As a device approved by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, the treatment is safe.
The greatest strength of the Stella M22 is that it can be customized with filters that adjust the intensity of the light (wavelength) to suit the skin's needs,
The entire face can be double irradiated in a single treatment.
Compared to conventional photofacial treatments, the Stera M22 offers a greater selection of light wavelengths and more fine-tuned light output.
More detailed treatment is now possible according to your concerns.
The light is divided into one to three waveforms and irradiated, and the intensity of the divided light has been made uniform (Optimal Pulse Technology).
The intensity of the divided light is equalized (Optimal Pulse Technology) to minimize damage to the skin and pain while maximizing results.
　
Approved equipment by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare

The Stella M22 has a total of six different filters, each with a different depth of penetration into the skin.
In addition, all of the light energy is uniformly irradiated for the most effective treatment.

Reference: What Can I Expect After a Photofacial?

Each of the six filters has its own characteristics.
515nm : Effective for light spots and freckles. The newest filter.
560nm : Effective for spots, freckles and dark spots.

  • POINT
    2

    Improvement of spots, freckles, and dullness

    IPL (Photofacial®) has the property that light is absorbed by black, red, and moisture.
    As the light acts on excess melanin pigment produced, it can be expected to lighten a wide range of spots, freckles, and melasma. The reacted melanin will be discharged as waste through skin turnover and will rise to the surface of the skin, where it will gradually be removed.
    Although there are individual differences, the effects of the PhotoFacial® will lead to clearer and brighter skin after 3 to 5 sessions.

  • POINT
    3

    Improvement of red face

    Protection by cooling function

    Contact cooling technology, which irradiates the skin while cooling it when the device comes in contact with the skin, enables safer and less painful treatment.
    This allows for safe treatment that avoids burns and other problems, and allows patients to receive high-effective treatment with low risk. In addition, the gel used to protect the skin during irradiation can be applied thinner than before, making it easier to wash one’s face after the procedure.
