Advances in laser technology have transformed the way we approach skin rejuvenation. One of the most versatile and effective treatments available today is the M22 Photofractional system. This innovative device combines two powerful technologies in one platform, addressing both pigmentation issues on the skin’s surface and textural concerns deeper within. At The Skin Clinic, we use the M22 Photofractional to help our patients achieve smoother, brighter, and younger-looking skin with minimal downtime.
The M22 Photofractional treatment is unique because it combines two therapies in a single session:
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Photorejuvenation
The IPL handpiece targets discoloration and vascular concerns on the skin’s surface. Pulses of broad-spectrum light penetrate the skin to break up pigment from sun damage, freckles, and age spots, while also reducing redness and visible blood vessels. This part of the treatment leaves the complexion more even-toned and radiant.
ResurFX Fractional Non-Ablative Laser
The ResurFX component focuses on collagen stimulation and textural improvement. Unlike ablative lasers that remove layers of skin, this non-ablative laser gently heats the deeper layers, triggering the body’s natural healing response. Over time, it encourages new collagen and elastin production, which improves fine lines, wrinkles, scars, and skin laxity.
By combining IPL and ResurFX in one session, the M22 Photofractional addresses both tone and texture for comprehensive skin rejuvenation.
The versatility of the M22 Photofractional makes it ideal for patients with multiple skin concerns. It can effectively improve:
Sun damage and age spots
Uneven skin tone or redness (including rosacea)
Fine lines and wrinkles
Acne scars or other textural irregularities
Enlarged pores
Skin laxity and dullness
Because it targets both the superficial and deeper layers of skin, patients notice improvements in brightness, smoothness, and firmness.
The M22 Photofractional is safe for a wide range of patients, but it’s especially well-suited for those who:
Want to address multiple signs of aging or sun damage in one treatment
Prefer gradual, natural-looking improvements over time
Are seeking results with minimal downtime
Have realistic expectations about achieving smoother, more youthful skin without surgery
It may not be recommended for individuals with certain medical conditions, very dark skin tones, or those who are pregnant. That’s why a consultation with one of our experienced providers at The Skin Clinic is the best first step—we’ll evaluate your skin, discuss your goals, and design a treatment plan that works for you.
M22 Photofractional treatments are generally well tolerated. Patients may feel a warm sensation or mild snapping on the skin during the IPL portion, and a gentle prickling or heat with the ResurFX laser. A topical numbing cream can be applied for added comfort.
After the session, your skin may appear slightly red or swollen, similar to a mild sunburn. Most patients can resume normal activities within 24 hours, though it’s important to avoid direct sun exposure and wear broad-spectrum sunscreen. Over the next few weeks, your skin will gradually become clearer, smoother, and more radiant as new collagen develops.
Most patients see the best results after a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart, though improvements are noticeable even after the first session.
At The Skin Clinic, our experienced team is committed to providing safe, effective, and personalized care. We use advanced technology like the M22 Photofractional to deliver noticeable, natural-looking results tailored to each patient’s unique needs. Whether your concern is pigmentation, fine lines, or overall skin rejuvenation, our providers will guide you through the process to help you feel confident in your skin.
The M22 Photofractional is more than just a laser—it’s a comprehensive solution for both surface and deep skin concerns, helping you achieve healthier, younger-looking skin.
