Lumenis M22™ Photofrational treatment offers the unique technology includes two treatment approaches, the Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology is used to remove unwanted pigment and vessels while ResurFX non-ablative 1565nm laser technology treats deeper into the dermis, stimulating new collagen and elastin fibers that visibly improves tone and texture.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Lumenis M22™ IPL with Optimal Pulse Technology (OPT™) enables your clinician to customize the treatment according to your skin type and desired results, with maximum safety. Light pulses penetrate the tissue and create heat, targeting the skin imperfection in a controlled manner. The body’s natural process then removes the treated tissue, while collagen and elastic fiber stimulation occurs, resulting in a visible improvement in skin tone and overall appearance. It is a complete solution to skin rejuvenation tailored to address the early signs of aging, pigmentation, age/sun spots, texture and overall skin appearance.

A fast, yet gentle treatment that visibly improves:

✓ Overall skin appearance by stimulating collagen and elastic fiber production.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
Immediately after your treatment the skin will feel like a mild to moderate sunburn for a few hours. To ease redness, apply over-the-counter Hydrocortisone 1% cream which works like magic. Use of cold compresses or cold (not frozen) gel packs helps alleviate the heat sensation.
Some skin concerns such as shallow pigmentation and age/sun spots can be cleared with as few as 2-3 treatments. Typically 2-6 sessions with 3-4 weeks in between are needed to achieve optimal results for most skin concerns. However, you may continue to see improvements for up to six months following the treatment. The majority of patients are able to resume their daily activities within a day after treatment, which is why this is often referred to as a “lunch time” solution.
