What is the M22?
The M22 laser is one of the most powerful and versatile devices for skin rejuvenation on the market. Developed by Lumenis®, the M22 is actually a “platform” that houses both a non-ablative fractional laser (ResurFX™) and an Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) system. The M22 is engineered to treat multiple skin problems with these distinctive modules. With the M22, you can reduce the appearance of facial lines and wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, dilated blood vessels, age spots and more. It can help you feel beautiful and confident in your own skin.
