M22 technology is one of the modern global technologies in the world of dermatology and beauty. It incorporates four light-based techniques that help treat a wide range of skin conditions. It can help treat 30 skin problems effectively and in one visit.
Combining IPL, non-ablative laser treatments and Nd: YAG lasers, M22 provides comprehensive solutions for a wide range of skin conditions, and the combination of technologies has helped to heal both superficial and deep layers of skin. This supports overall skin rejuvenation as well as the treatment of various skin lesions.
Advantages of M22
- Technology that is versatile and customizable depending on the condition and purpose of the treatment.
- Helps in the treatment of a wide range of skin conditions up to 30 skin problems.
- Can be used for all types of light and dark skin.
- A non-surgical procedure that does not require a recovery period.
- Safe, effective and FDA approved technology.
- It can be combined with other cosmetic treatments for best results.
Uses of M22
M22 is one of the most important modern cosmetic techniques for its exceptional ability to treat a wide range of skin problems. This distinctive technology uses customizable light therapy where the physician can control the wavelength through the use of specialized filters. It works as a therapeutic procedure for many skin diseases and as a cosmetic procedure. Its most important uses are:
- Stimulate collagen production and skin rejuvenation.
- Skin tightening and treatment of wrinkles and fine lines in the skin.
- Treatment of all types of skin pigmentations such as melasma, freckles and sun spots.
- Treatment of vascular lesions and disorders such as spider veins and rosacea.
- Remove unwanted hair.
- Treatment of veins and varicose veins.
- Treatment and improvement of active acne cases.
- Tattoo removal.
- Improved skin texture and smoothness giving a more even and youthful complexion.
Convalescence
One of the most important advantages of the M22 technique is that it is a non-ablative procedure which means that it does not exfoliate or damage the surface layer of the skin. He does not need a recovery period and can return to daily activities immediately after the session.
It is also integrated with a cooling system to protect the skin as it works with a multi-sequence pulse system that protects the skin by using a cooling system between the pulses of light, which makes it a gentle procedure on the skin and reduces discomfort during the procedure.
It follows a tightened safety regime which helps to protect dark-skinned people who usually have difficulties in being exposed to other types of lasers that may be harsh on the skin.
Number of sessions and results
Depending on the size of the treatment area, the session usually lasts 15-30 minutes. The results start to appear from the first session where the patient feels better in the texture, softness and color of the skin.
The appropriate number of sessions is threatened by the doctor depending on the case and doctors usually recommend at least three to five sessions to achieve the best results of natural collagen stimulation and thus obtain clearer results.
Before session
It is advised not to be directly exposed to sunlight as well as not to use home scrubs or products that increase the skin’s sensitivity to light for at least two weeks before the session.
After session
It is recommended to use mild skin moisturizers, avoid direct sun exposure and use SPF 50 + sunscreen as the skin becomes more sensitive after the procedure.
M22 for the treatment of pigmentation
M22 technology treats many skin pigmentation conditions by targeting and breaking down dark spots and then absorbing them through the body and getting rid of them. Including sun exposure pigmentation, age spots, freckles, melasma, uneven skin tone, acne pigmentation and others
Its work is not only limited to the treatment of pigmentation, but also to their prevention by stimulating the production of new collagen, which leads to a continuous reversal of light damage and a more youthful appearance of the skin with long-term results.
M22 for vascular treatment
By using specific wavelengths, M22 technology effectively treats rosacea, vascular abnormalities and reduces inflammation. It targets damaged blood vessels without damaging surrounding tissues and thus reduces the appearance of spider veins in the face and leg. By focusing M22 technology on the healing of damaged capillaries, it not only treats and relieves redness but also reduces inflammation.
Side Effects
- Skin redness usually disappears within hours of the procedure.
- Results of depigmentation begin within 7-10 days.
- Dark spots may become more pigmented before they begin to fade.
- The risk of blistering and scarring is a very rare symptom.
What is M22 technology?
It is a modern, versatile technology with therapeutic and cosmetic uses that has integrated many of the leading technologies that have proven effective over the past years in many skin conditions, and has been integrated into the M22 technology to achieve the greatest accuracy and ability to customize the treatment to suit different skin types and conditions. The M22 technology comprises the following therapeutic techniques:
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)
IPL mainly works on targeting brown and red pigment, it also helps to kill bacteria that cause acne, in addition to its ability to stimulate the production of natural Collagen in the skin, which helps to improve the quality of the skin, tighten the skin and treat wrinkles.
It can be used for all areas of the body and for all types and colors of light and dark skin and works to treat many skin problems, including:
- Rosacea / Couperose.
- Freckles, melasma and hyperpigmentation.
- Capillaries.
- Acne cases.
- Veins and varicose veins.
- Remove unwanted hair.
ResurFX Technology
Unlike FX CO2, ResurFX is a non-ablative laser technology that works through the use of thermal energy. This type of laser works to make small holes in the skin without harming the surrounding tissues, which reduces side effects and the need for a recovery period. During the recovery period, the body works to stimulate collagen production and rejuvenate the skin, which helps in treating many skin problems, including:
- dilated pores.
- wrinkles & fine lines
- Reduce the wrinkles around eyes.
- Traces of acne scars.
- Brown spots caused by exposure to sunlight.
Nd:YAG lasers
It is a laser with a long pulse and is intended with a long pulse, that is, the amount of time to which the target tissue is exposed to the laser pulse, as the laser energy is selectively absorbed by the predisposing lesion, and is used in the treatment of many skin problems, including:
- Dilated blood vessels caused by rosacea or exposure to sunlight and skin aging.
- Hemangiomas and birthmarks.
- Blurs fine lines and wrinkles
- Veins and varicose veins of the leg.
- Remove unwanted hair.
Q-Switched Nd: YAG
Q-Switched uses short pulses of high-density energy, where the energy of the laser is absorbed through the melanin dye found in the skin patches or hair follicles, which helps to break them down without harming the surrounding tissues. It is used to treat many skin conditions, including
- Tattoo Removal
- Treatment of stains and pigmentation.
- Removal of hair is desirable.
- Treating traces of pills and pimples.
- Treatment of spider veins and capillary dilation.
