Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Stellar M22 is a multi-application platform for aesthetic treatments. It enables you to safely and effectively treat different indications in different skin types, age, and gender, without the need for disposables. With four technologies in one platform, you can treat over 30 skin conditions and hair removal.
- Inspiration
- Stellar M22 is a powerful modular multi-application platform, inspired by the brightest constellation in the sky. The key elements that guided the creation were: best value creation for the customer and best value creation for the patient, those by physical and technical features, such as 4-in-1 modular console, unique ergonomic handpiece design, dedicated built-in storage for accessories, and contemporary and intuitive graphical user interface.
- Challenge
- Each module requires different HW. Therefore we created one common HW, alongside a specific HW for each specific module. We conducted a big usability research, included dozens of users and service personnel, experimented the system (HW & SW). Each of the different indications of the Stellar went through clinical research. Each country has different regulation requirements – we needed to take it also in the development planning.
- Realization and Technology
- It is an all-in-one device which saves the need to purchase a large number of systems. The product was designed to enable the purchase of 1 to 4 handles, for maximum flexibility, based on the clinic’s needs. The handles are designed to fit perfectly with the therapist's palm, can be held at different angles depends on the body part treated and provide maximum visibility of the treatment area. The IPL handle includes 9 filters with different colors, which represent different wave lengths, enabling differentiation between the different treatments. Large touch screen with a user-friendly GUI that helps the therapist to choose the correct handle and treatment.
- Operation and Interaction
- The graphical user interface was designed with both novice and expert users in mind. It features intuitive patient- and clinical-oriented selections for beginners, and prompts them with the relevant settings, or enables an advanced user to manually adjust them based on their understanding of laser-tissue interaction. In addition, the system incorporates several built-in safety mechanisms for enhanced patient and staff safety, such as laser triggers, automatic identification of accessories, and different interlocks.
- Project Duration and Location
- The project started November 2019 and ended March 2020.
