When can I expect the first results?
A significant improvement in the complexion is already visible after a few days. The end result is achieved after approx. 7 days.
Is your skin in need of rejuvenation? Are you bothered by age/sun spots, broken capillaries, or just the overall appearance of your skin? Lumenis® M22™ provides an Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment—also known as a Photofacial treatment—designed to gently and effectively treat a wide range of skin conditions, including:
1. Skin discoloration and blemishes (sun/age spots and freckles)
2.Port wine stains
3.Visible signs of aging
4.Spider veins or broken capillaries
5.Hemangiomas ( a benign tumor of blood vessels that forms a red birthmark)
How Does M22 IPL Technology Work?
IPL photo-rejuvenation technology treats pigmentation and vascular imperfections, while improving your skin’s overall appearance. Lumenis IPL with optimal pulse technology lets your physician customize your treatment to your skin type and the results you want. Light pulses move through the skin, creating heat and targeting skin imperfections in a controlled way. The treated area then flakes off when your body goes through its natural and constant process of exfoliation. At the same time, collagen and elastic fibers are stimulated, which results in a visible improvement of your skin’s tone and overall appearance.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Lumenis M22 IPL (Photofacial) Treatment?
You’re a good candidate for IPL (Photofacial) treatment if you are looking to reduce visible signs of aging or if you are bothered by skin discoloration caused by:
1.Sun damage
2.Acne
3.Other pigment problems like broken capillaries and rosacea
Is M22 IPL Treatment Safe?
Lumenis treatments are developed by laser medical experts, and all treatments, including M22 IPL (Photofacial), are FDA-approved and clinically proven to get results. Advanced technology allows your clinician to adjust the settings according to your skin type, skin color, and the specific skin treatment you choose.
What Happens in an M22 IPL Session?
Your IPL (Photofacial) treatment should not take more than 45 minutes. You may experience a warm sensation as the light is applied to your skin, but the treatment is very gentle.
What Can I Expect After my M22 IPL Treatment?
For 2 to 24 hours, you may feel and see your skin flushing. Sometimes patients experience very mild swelling, depending on how sensitive their skin is. Freckles and hyper-pigmented lesions will turn darker and look dry for 4 to 7 days and then start flaking off gradually and naturally. If you have a vascular lesion that is treated, you may develop some bruising, which is more common when vascular lesions are treated off face areas.
The normal recovery period varies between 2 to 5 days, depending on your skin sensitivity and the treatment performed, but you can expect to see a substantial difference in hyper-pigmented lesions, vascular lesions, and your overall skin texture within one week of treatment.
For some conditions, it may take a few sessions to see the best results. In general, the heavier your skin blemishes, the more treatments you’ll need. The staff at North Texas Plastic Surgery can give you an idea of this when you come in for a consultation.
How Long Do the Results of an M22 IPL (Photofacial) Treatment Last?
M22 IPL (Photofacial) treatments are simultaneously gentle and very effective. After you have completed the treatment plan that you and your clinician determine during your consultation, you can have one session of IPL (Photofacial) once a year as maintenance, if you choose to.
Your results will last longer if you take good care of your skin by using a good antioxidant and sunscreen, as well as avoiding sun exposure as much as possible.
While IPL treats existing skin problems, it doesn’t prevent new ones from developing. For instance, if you get treated for sun-damaged skin, you’ll still need to take steps to prevent sun damage in the future.
IPL photo rejuvenation (Intensed Pulsed Light therapy using OPT ™ M22, Lumenis)
With the help of intense, short light impulses, which are generated by the most modern flash lamp technology, we can quickly and effectively help prematurely aged and sun-damaged skin (diffuse pigment spots, vascular dilation, redness, large-pored skin and fine wrinkles) to regain radiance. In addition to the skin on the face, the skin on the neck, décolleté, arms and legs can be treated quickly and safely. IPL not only eliminates all irregularities in the complexion such as redness, veins and pigment spots, but also stimulates the production of collagen and elastin fibers. In addition to the skin-smoothing and rejuvenating effect, we use IPL for the large-scale, quick and gentle treatment of extensive redness (e.g. couperose), pigment spots (age spots) and small veins.
Summary IPL
1. Removal of pigment spots, redness and small veins on the face, arms and hands
2.General improvement in skin texture
3.Treatment of couperose, rosacea and acne
