What Do Physicians Say ?
PHYSICIANS’ TESTIMONIALS >
Professor Alina Fratila

"With ResurFX, the settings work well and the risks are low. It’s a great system to start with. In addition, combined with M22’s IPL in Photofractional treatment, the results are even greater and patients are extremely satisfied."

Dr. Patricia Ortiz Garcia

"Downtime with the Photofractional is minimal and results are visible and similar to those of more aggressive techniques. My patients appreciate the Photofractional a lot!"

Dr. Gerd Kautz

"We see great results with IPL, but with Photofractional we improve pigmentation, skin texture, redness, blood vessels, pigments, and pores in only one combined session. Patients have a treatment on Friday and they go to work on Monday."

Dr. Gerd Gaugliz

"I favour the Photofractional, because with this combination patients make only a single visit and they get double results."

What Is It?
The Lumenis® Photofractional™ Solution

The Lumenis® Photofractional™ treatment is a complete skin rejuvenation solution, enabling your physician to offer you remarkable results on a range of skin aging concerns such as age and sun spots, vascular lesions, uneven texture and skin tone.

The unique Lumenis® photofractional rejuvenation technology includes two solutions: IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) and ResurFX™ non-ablative skin resurfacing, so that both skin tone and texture can be treated at the same session.

Is It Right for Me?

Lumenis® energy-based treatments are not suitable for everyone and carry some risks. Photofractional™ is not suitable when you have active infections, viral, fungal or bacterial diseases, inflammatory skin conditions or skin cancer. Risks may include: redness, swelling, scarring or change in pigmentation. Be sure to consult with your treatment provider before choosing this treatment.

What Should I Expect ?
When Will I See Results ?

The Lumenis® Photofractional™ treatment works with your skin to stimulate deep collagen regeneration over a sequence of treatments. Already after the first session, you may begin to notice improvement in skin tone and pigmentation.

Typically, about 3 sessions are needed to have visible improvement in the skin texture. Optimal results are typically achieved after 3-5 sessions in 2-6 weeks intervals. However, you may continue to see improvements for up to six months following the treatment.

What Can I Expect After Treatment ?

Immediately following treatment, you may experience some redness or swelling, depending on your customized treatment settings. The swelling will usually diminish after a few hours and the redness as quickly as the next day or over the next few days. Most patients are able to resume their daily activities the very same day.

By combining both IPL and ResurFX™ technologies, both skin pigmentation and texture can be treated at the same time.

How Does It Work?
Photofractional Technology

By using both IPL and ResurFX™ technologies, both skin pigmentation and texture can be treated at the same session.

Lumenis® IPL technology removes both unwanted pigmentation and blood vessels from the skin, while the ResurFX™ fractional laser stimulates the production of new collagen and elastic fibers in the deeper layers of the skin. Stimulating new collagen production is the key to a more radiant, youthful looking skin.

The Treatment

To ensure utmost comfort, your physician should typically apply a topical numbing cream before treatment and/or use air cooling during treatment. Depending on your specific concern, you can expect the session to last 15-30 minutes.

You may experience a warm or prickling sensation as the laser is applied to the skin, but the treatment is gentle and should not feel uncomfortable.
