About this treatment

Facial redness is a common and often frustrating concern that can affect confidence as well as comfort. At Prema Health, a dermatologist led clinic in Portsmouth and Hampshire, we offer advanced treatment for facial redness using the Stellar M22 IPL system by Lumenis.

This gentle light-based treatment is designed to reduce visible redness and uneven skin tone while supporting healthier-looking skin overall. Many people experience facial redness due to sensitive skin, environmental triggers, or underlying vascular changes, and it can be difficult to manage with skincare alone.

Stellar M22 IPL works by delivering carefully controlled pulses of light to the skin, targeting the factors that contribute to redness without damaging the surrounding tissue. The treatment is non-invasive and tailored to your individual skin needs, making it suitable for a wide range of skin types. Our approach focuses on helping you feel more comfortable in your skin, with a personalised consultation to understand your concerns and goals before treatment begins. Care is taken at every step to ensure the experience is calm, supportive, and aligned with your expectations.

In More Detail

Stellar M22 IPL is a well-established technology used worldwide for treating redness and uneven skin tone. During treatment, light energy is applied to the skin’s surface, where it is absorbed by areas responsible for visible redness. Over time, the body naturally processes these targeted areas, leading to a clearer and more even appearance.

Sessions are typically quick, and most people describe the sensation as mild and manageable. Some temporary warmth or redness can occur after treatment, but this usually settles within a short period. Because the treatment is non-surgical, there is little disruption to daily life, and many people return to normal activities the same day. At Prema Health, each treatment plan is customised, and advice is provided on skincare and sun protection to support your results and skin health between sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is this treatment suitable for all skin types?

Stellar M22 IPL can be suitable for many skin types, but it is not right for everyone. A thorough consultation is always carried out to assess your skin, medical history, and concerns so that treatment can be planned safely and appropriately.

2. Does the treatment hurt?

Most people find the treatment comfortable, with sensations often described as a brief warmth or light snapping feeling on the skin. Any discomfort is usually short-lived, and settings can be adjusted to keep you at ease.

3. How long is the recovery time?

There is usually little to no downtime after treatment. Some mild redness or warmth may be present for a few hours, but this typically settles quickly, allowing you to return to normal activities soon after.

4. When will I see results?

Changes often develop gradually as the skin responds to treatment. Some people notice improvement after a few weeks, with results building over a course of sessions, depending on the nature of the redness being treated.

5. Is the treatment safe?

Stellar M22 IPL is a well-established and widely used system. At Prema Health, treatments are carried out following careful assessment and with a strong focus on safety, ensuring the approach is appropriate for your skin and individual needs.

Conditions Treated

Facial redness can present in different ways, and Stellar M22 IPL can be helpful for a range of related concerns. It is commonly used to address persistent redness across the cheeks, nose, chin, or forehead, where the skin appears flushed or uneven most of the time. The treatment can also help with visible thread veins and broken capillaries that contribute to a red or blotchy appearance.

People who experience redness linked to sensitivity or frequent flushing may notice an improvement in overall skin tone and calmness following a course of treatment. In some cases, redness associated with conditions such as rosacea-like symptoms can be softened, helping the skin look more balanced and less reactive. While individual responses vary, the aim of treatment is to reduce the prominence of redness and support a more even, refreshed complexion that feels comfortable and looks healthier.
