BOOK AN APPOINTMENT
This exclusive to Aesthetica Medical treatment is suitable for all skin types, even dark skin tones.
HOW DOES PHOTOCLEAR WORK?
PhotoClear consists of two excellent devices to precisely target your skin's texture and tone together. The targeting of the pigment is performed by the Q-Switch device before the treatment switches over to use ResurFX for the skin resurfacing element.
STELLAR M22 Q-SWITCHED LASER
The laser component of the Stellar M22 system is specifically designed for treating pigmented lesions and overall skin toning. It targets melanin precisely so as to minimise surrounding tissue damage and is customisable to your exact skin-situation. Very short, high-energy pulses are the key to this laser's effectiveness.
Reducing age spots, sun spots, and other benign pigmented lesions and evening out skin tone are its strengths.
ResurFX FRACTIONAL LASER
This fractional laser stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin fibers in the deeper layers of the skin, improving texture, fine lines, and overall skin appearance. It offers:
- Effective skin resurfacing with minimal downtime
- Improvement in skin texture and tone
- Reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
When combined in the PhotoClear protocol, the Q-Switched laser provides powerful pigment reduction while the ResurFX addresses texture concerns, offering comprehensive skin rejuvenation suitable for all skin types.

WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM PHOTOCLEAR?
PhotoClear is ideal for a wide range of skin types and concerns. It’s a safe and effective option if you:
- Experience uneven skin tone or texture
- Are concerned about sun damage or age spots
- Want to smooth fine lines without surgery
- Struggle with stubborn pigmentation (including melasma or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation)
- Have visible pores or mild acne scarring
- Want rejuvenation but can’t afford the downtime of more aggressive treatments
Because this treatment is suitable for all Fitzpatrick skin types, including darker tones, it offers an inclusive solution for those who may not have been eligible for other laser-based procedures in the past.
HOW MANY SESSIONS WILL I NEED?
The number of PhotoClear sessions required can vary depending on your skin goals and the severity of your concerns. Generally:
- Mild concerns: 1–2 sessions may provide visible improvement
- Moderate concerns: 3–4 sessions are often recommended for optimal results
- Severe pigmentation or scarring: A personalised course of 4+ treatments may be advised
Treatments are spaced 4–6 weeks apart, allowing your skin time to heal and regenerate between visits.
IS PHOTOCLEAR SAFE?
Absolutely. Both the Q-Switched laser and ResurFX fractional laser used in the PhotoClear protocol are clinically proven technologies with well-established safety records and peer-reviewed evidence. At Aesthetica Medical, your treatments are:
- Administered by qualified aesthetic practitioners with extensive laser training
- Delivered using FDA- and CE-cleared medical-grade devices
- Supported by a full consultation and medical screening process to ensure suitability
We also conduct patch testing where appropriate to minimise the risk of adverse skin reactions and ensure your safety throughout your treatment journey.
THE SCIENCE BEHIND PHOTOCLEAR TECHNOLOGY
Q-Switched Nd:YAG Laser Science
The Q-Switched laser generates ultra-short pulses of energy that shatter pigment particles into tiny fragments. These are then naturally cleared away by the body's lymphatic system. This method is particularly effective in treating:
- Dermal and epidermal pigmentation
- Freckles and lentigines
- Tattoo pigment (in some cases)
- Melasma (when approached conservatively)
ResurFX Technology
Unlike traditional ablative lasers, ResurFX is a non-ablative fractional laser, meaning it delivers energy deep into the dermis without removing the outer layer of skin. This stimulates collagen regeneration, leading to visible skin renewal with minimal surface trauma.
