Lumenis laser M22 ResurFX ™

Therapeutic dermatology and aesthetic medicine

Lumenis M22 is the latest system from the renowned manufacturer of medical lasers Lumenis produced in the United States since 2010. It is the successor of the already proven Lumenis One device – a world-class laser that has no competitors on the market of laser devices used in therapeutic dermatology and aesthetic medicine.

Each removal of laser discoloration using the Lumenis platform, as in the case of other laser treatments, is based on the phenomenon of selective photothermolysis, i.e. the destruction of specific skin structures as a result of absorbing the energy emitted by the device.

With the Lumenis M22 ® laser and ResurFX ™, treatments such as removing discolorations on the skin, removing facial skin discolorations, removing freckles are performed. Removal of discoloration on the hands, removal of age spots, removal of sun discoloration, removal of hormonal discoloration

The most common problems are hormonal discoloration, sun discoloration and age spots. Regardless of the place where they are located, as well as the substrate, the offered lightening of discolorations completely eliminates the problem of hyperpigmentation. What’s more, the Lumenis M22 ® and ResurFX ™ lasers, which use innovative OPT (optimal pulse technology) technology, reduce the occurrence of post-treatment complications, which makes it not only effective, but also extremely safe.
