Lumenis Stellar M22™ with XPL Technology Named “Best New Dermatology Technology Solution” in 2026 MedTech Breakthrough Awards Program
Landmark 10th Annual Awards Program Recognizes the Most Innovative Digital Health and Medical Technology Solutions Worldwide
LOS ANGELES, May 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MedTech Breakthrough, an independent market intelligence organization that recognizes the most innovative companies, technologies and products in the global digital health and medical technology market, today announced that Stellar M22™ by Lumenis Be. Ltd., a global leader in energy-based medical technologies, has been selected as winner of the “Best New Dermatology Technology Solution” award in the 10th annual MedTech Breakthrough Awards program.
The Lumenis Stellar M22™ is an FDA-cleared, multi-application platform designed to treat 30+ indications across all skin types, enabling versatile treatment workflows and outstanding patient outcomes in one compact system. Stellar M22™ integrates four advanced technologies, including XPL™ (Expert Pulsed Light), ResurFX®, Multi-Spot™ Nd:YAG, and Q-Switched Nd:YAG, enabling treatment across a variety of indications. From vascular and pigmented lesion clearance to hair removal, skin tone and texture improvement, dark tattoo removal, and more, Stellar M22™ consolidates multiple modalities into a single platform.
Stellar’s XPL™ Technology is backed by over 30 years of clinical success from Lumenis, the inventors of IPL, and continues to set the standard for advanced skin treatments including photorejuvenation, vascular, and pigmentation conditions. Featuring eight wavelengths delivered with expert filters, sub-pulsing technology, and Advanced Pulse Design, XPL™ offers unmatched precision and control over pulse parameters. The XPL™ Glide Mode introduces a new treatment category with in-motion capability for faster, more comfortable prejuvenation treatments, even across large areas. The device’s XPL™ Glide Mode helps improve patients’ skin quality for healthier-looking skin, while the ResurFX® BrushFX™ enhances skin texture and elasticity, providing natural, airbrush‑like results.
In addition to its patient benefits, Stellar M22™ also serves as a growth engine for modern practices. With 850+ built-in expert treatment protocols, based on years of research with leading physicians, providers can delegate confidently, follow a built‑in treatment framework, and deliver repeatable, high‑quality results across teams. For a more personalized treatment approach that addresses both tone and texture, Stellar M22™ can also be combined with other devices in the Lumenis portfolio including PhotoFABULOUS and SmoothGlo.
"There is a growing demand for prejuvenation and longevity-focused skin health that Stellar M22™ meets by delivering consistency and personalization in light and laser treatments. At the core of this platform is XPL, our patented Expert Pulsed Light technology, which we have perfected over the last few decades to now enable entirely new treatment categories," said Tzipi Ozer-Armon, CEO of Lumenis. "The results we are seeing are exceptional, and they reflect decades of accumulated clinical expertise now elevated to an entirely new level. This is not just an evolution; it is a new chapter in light-based treatments, and we are thrilled to be leading it. We are grateful to MedTech Breakthrough for this recognition and remain committed to advancing clinically proven innovation."
Stellar M22™ has been backed by 170 clinical studies, including recent data showing 76–100% clearance of vascular and pigmented lesions after a single XPL session, with even single-pass treatments achieving 51–75% clearance. * With over 30,000 installations worldwide, the platform is well-known and trusted by leading hospitals across the globe.
Steve Johansson, managing director of MedTech Breakthrough, added, “The upgraded Stellar M22™ delivers natural-looking, visible results in just one treatment. While many energy-based technologies force a trade-off between versatility and results, Stellar M22™ stands apart, delivering both without compromise as a transformative tool that elevates clinical practice. It empowers providers to achieve superior outcomes with greater speed, comfort, and confidence while helping patients look and feel their best. We’re pleased to award Lumenis’ Stellar M22™ ‘Best New Dermatology Technology Solution.’”
