New Year, New Skin: How Stellar M22™ and ResurFx™ Can Renew Your Complexion

New Year, New Skin: How Stellar M22™ and ResurFx™ Can Renew Your Complexion

When you think about the ways lasers have changed modern life, your mind might go to fiber-optic internet or vision correction with LASIK. Lasers have cosmetic applications, too. 

At Hanami Medspa, Elaine Phuah, DO, MBA, FACOI, utilizes the latest laser technology to stimulate skin regeneration. This provides a solution for addressing a range of concerns, including age spots, large pores, uneven skin tone, and texture. 

Today, we want to spotlight two leading-edge laser options we offer at our office in Fort Worth, Texas: M22™ ResurFX™ skin resurfacing and Stellar M22™, which Dr. Phuah uses for photofacials

Two laser treatment options worth considering

With sophisticated laser technology, Dr. Phuah can perform treatment to move you toward your cosmetic goals. Two of our top options here are:

IPL facials with Stellar M22

An intense pulsed light (IPL) facial, also called a photofacial, uses light energy to change your skin. 

When Dr. Phuah uses the Stellar M22 device to pulse your skin with light energy, it heats your cells in a specific way. That encourages your skin to get rid of dead and dying cells and create new ones. Stimulating regeneration in your skin with IPL gives you a way to address:

If you’re bothered by any of these issues, talk with Dr. Phuah to see if an IPL facial with Stellar M22 aligns with your cosmetic goals. 

Nonablative laser skin resurfacing with ResurFX

With laser skin resurfacing, a provider uses specialized lasers to send energy into your skin and trigger transformation. The tricky thing here is that some kinds of lasers are ablative, which means they remove the topmost layer of your skin. That can come with some serious recovery time.

If your 2026 already looks full, you probably don’t want the downtime of ablative skin resurfacing. That’s why Dr. Phuah offers ResurFX. It only takes a few days for your skin to completely heal, but it still offers lasting advantages if you want to address:

ResurFX is safe for all skin types, even sensitive skin. 

Maximizing your results from laser treatment

Neither of these laser treatments work immediately. It usually takes a couple of weeks for your skin to integrate the changes effected by the laser energy. 

To deliver the best results, Dr. Phuah generally recommends a series of laser treatments. Usually, you want to space your appointments about three weeks apart. This lets your skin use the laser energy to do its regenerative work. Then, Dr. Phuah reapplies the laser to drive further transformation. 

If you want to see if laser treatment could help you enjoy your best skin in 2026, schedule a consultation with Dr. Phuah. Call our team at Hanami Medspa to get it scheduled or make your appointment online today.
