Tattoo Removal with Stellar M22
The Stellar M22 laser system offers a highly effective, safe, and advanced solution for tattoo removal. Designed to target dark tattoo pigments, the M22 laser uses a wavelength that breaks down ink particles into smaller fragments, which are then naturally eliminated by the body. Unlike older methods, the Stellar M22 allows all layers of ink to be targeted simultaneously, speeding up the removal process.
Equipped with CoolScan™ technology, the M22 ensures even energy distribution across the tattooed area and includes safeguards to prevent overheating, reducing the risk of burns and other side effects. This advanced system offers clients a more comfortable experience, with continuous cooling to maintain skin safety and comfort throughout the treatment.

The M22 laser combines Q-Switch technology with Nd wavelengths to effectively target dark tattoo inks, such as black and blue. Its CoolScan™ scanner distributes laser energy evenly, minimizing risks and enhancing results.
-
The number of sessions required depends on factors like tattoo age, size, depth, ink color, and your skin type. While some see noticeable fading after one session, complete removal can require 4–10 treatments for best results.
-
Some clients experience mild discomfort, similar to a snapping sensation. The M22’s CoolScan™ feature helps by continuously cooling the skin, which makes the procedure more comfortable.
-
After a session, mild redness and swelling are normal. A crust may form over the treated area, falling off within 1–2 weeks. Following post-care instructions, including sun avoidance and using sunscreen, is crucial for optimal healing.
-
M22 tattoo removal is ideal for individuals with darker tattoos on most skin tones. However, bright colors, like red and yellow, are harder to remove. We recommend a consultation to assess your tattoo and discuss expected results.
-
If you are on medications like Accutane, wait at least 12 months before starting tattoo removal. Smokers are advised to quit two weeks prior to improve healing, and those prone to cold sores should consider antiviral medications before treatment.
-
The laser breaks down ink particles, which are then processed by your body’s natural filtration system over 3–4 weeks. This process reduces the tattoo’s appearance gradually between sessions.
-
Tattoo removal is not recommended for pregnant or nursing individuals, as safety data is limited. Consult with your healthcare provider for guidance.
