What is M22 Lumenis?

The M22 Lumenis is a state of the art, multi-functional device, with applications to treat over 30 skin conditions including general signs of aging, birthmarks, acne scars, rosacea, and stretch marks. The wide range of functions within the device allow for the physician to tailor specifically to each patient’s needs depending on skin texture, color, and quality, in order to achieve optimal results.

How does M22 Lumenis work?

The M22 Lumenis is comprised of two different functioning systems: the IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) laser, and the ResurFx laser.

What’s the Difference Between IPL and the ResurFX?

The IPL uses Optimal Pulse Technology to administer varying wavelengths of light into the skin, which generate heat in order to treat

  • Uneven pigment, Skin tone
  • Vascular lesions
  • Rosacea
  • Sun damage

The ResurFx uses fractional rejuvenation technology that stimulates deep collagen regeneration in order to improve

  • Hyperpigmentation
  • Age spots
  • Acne scars
  • Fine lines, Wrinkles
  • Surgical scars
  • Skin texture
  • Burn, Injury

Am I a good candidate for M22 laser treatment?

Any patient who would like to dramatically improve the appearance of their wrinkles, dark spots, spider veins, or uneven skin texture is a great candidate for M22 laser treatment. If you have a dermatological condition or other concern regarding your ability to receive M22 laser treatment, be sure to discuss this with your physician prior to treatment.

What should I expect during and after my treatment?

Depending on which treatment is being administered, topical numbing or cooling gel may be applied, in order to maximize patient comfort. Immediately following the treatment, redness and swelling may occur. Swelling will subside in a few hours but the redness may last for a few days. Direct sun exposure should be avoided immediately following the treatment.

How many treatments do I need?

Typically, 3-6 sessions are required to see visible improvement. Depending on the treatment, as few as 1-2 sessions may be required, though the total number of treatments can vary depending on individual patient needs. Additional treatments are scheduled at 4-6 week intervals. Final results are expected to be seen 4-6 weeks after your final treatment.
