22 Jan Treat 30+ Skin Conditions with the Lumenis M22
Parson Skin Center is a medical day spa with all of the best, safest, and most effective laser options, including the Lumenis M22 laser that treats over 30 skin conditions. A single handpiece can be customized with a myriad of filters for a wholly individualized treatment plan for each client. This intense-pulsed light (IPL) device features Optimal Plus Technology and is perfect for treating sun damage (amongst several other conditions!).
Signs of sun damage typically include a rough skin texture, lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation (brown spots), and ruddiness. Much of this damage is reversible with the right treatment. The Lumenis M22 uses pulses of light that penetrate the skin, kick-starting the natural healing process while simultaneously revitalizing the skin in real time. Collagen production is encouraged with IPL, and you’ll continue to see improved results in the weeks following your treatment.
Lumenis M22 Details
This device also treats conditions not related to UV damage, such as spider veins, hemangiomas, freckles, port wine stains, and broken capillaries. Also known as photo-rejuvenation, it works by targeting imperfections using light in a highly controlled manner. It’s important to know that right after the treatment, your skin will look a little worse—but this is a good thing! Within a week of your treatment, your skin will begin to flake as the body begins its natural healing process. Under the surface, elastin and collagen fibers are being stimulated.
If you’re treating skin concerns like brown spots or freckles, don’t worry if they look darker immediately after the treatment. This simply means the process is working. However, this is a reminder that you’ll want to schedule your laser appointment at least 10 days prior to any big event. You’ll still feel confident going about your daily routine, and there’s a good chance nobody will notice anything different about you right after the treatment. It will simply look like you got a little sun during your lunch break.
Who Should Get a Lumenis M22 Treatment?
If you’re struggling with skin discoloration or signs of aging, the Lumenis M22 might be for you! The tech was developed by medical experts in the laser field and this FDA-approved laser provides proven results. Most sessions take less than an hour and this very gentle treatment feels like a warm sensation that rarely requires topical numbing cream for the vast majority of patients. Skin will feel and look flushed for about 24 hours after your appointment and brown spots will look dry and dark for about 7 days. For those treating vascular lesions, some bruising may occur.
Recovery is typically complete within a week—and that is also when you’ll start to see improvements. Some clients achieve their best results with just one session but others require a series of treatments for an optimal outcome. We will discuss your needs and goals during your consultation so you’ll know exactly how many sessions you can expect. Maintenance sessions are recommended annually to sustain results, and you can even make results better and longer-lasting with a good at-home skin care regimen with medical-grade products.
Caring for the Skin You’re In
The Lumenis M22 laser has been a long-standing favorite because of how gentle it is and how many skin issues it treats. Some clients mix and match laser and light therapies to further customize their treatments. You can also combine lasers with other non-surgical options such as chemical peels and microneedling. Ultimately, the best in-office skin care regimen is one that is selected just for you.
If you’re new to lasers, the Lumenis M22 is a great option. And if you’re a seasoned pro, the Lumenis M22 can help provide an overall rejuvenation with very little downtime.
