What Does Lumenis M22 ResurFX Laser Treatment Do?
It may be better to answer what it doesn’t do. The Lumenis M22 ResurFX is a non-ablative, fractional laser technology. The term “non-ablative” means that it does not destroy or ablate your skin cells. Instead, the ResurFX laser stimulates your skin and encourages collagen growth without additional harm.
How Is Lumenis M22 ResurFX Different from Other Lasers?
Many laser treatments, while effective, result in swelling, peeling, or crusting after the procedure. In addition to stimulating collagen growth without ablating your skin cells, the Lumenis M22 ResurFX provides excellent results with minimal recovery time.
What Conditions Does Lumenis M22 ResurFX Treat?
If there is a laser treatment that strikes the perfect balance between effectiveness and patient convenience, it is the Lumenis ResurFX. ResurFX is a non-ablative, fragmentary laser, which implies the laser is carried to the skin in little specks and to just a small amount of the skin which stimulates the skin to produce collagen without harming or ablating the skin cells. As collagen builds, the skin looks tighter and more glowing. It evens out your skin tone and texture providing an overall fresh youthful appearance. As a result of its cutting edge innovation, the recovery time after the procedure is minimized.
ResurFX M22 is a modular multi-application platform for the treatment of more than 30 skin conditions. The following are some examples of the conditions ResurFX treats:
- Lax or loose skin
- Stretch marks
- Hyperpigmentation or staining
- Fine Lines and wrinkles
- Scars from acne or surgery
- Uneven skin tone
Does the ResurFX laser hurt?
No, your Forefront dermatologist will numb your skin with medication (usually a topical anesthetic). Because the ResurFX laser is non-ablative, most patients say their treatments are extremely comfortable.
If you opt to treat your entire face, you might be sedated. Our expert team will ensure that you feel safe and comfortable during the procedure.
How Does Lumenis M22 ResurFX Treatment Work?
ResurFX is a highly advanced laser, enabling you to choose from more than 600 combinations of shape, size, and density. Using fractional spots, the device protects your skin from overheating while stimulating collagen production. As collagen increases, your skin begins looking tighter and more youthful.
How Long Does Lumenis M22 ResurFX Laser Non-Surgical Treatment Take?
Treatments take about 20 minutes or more, depending on the size of the targeted area.
What Are Typical Lumenis M22 ResurFX Laser Treatment Results?
Again, your recovery time should be minimal and relatively comfortable. Your skin might be red, swollen, or inflamed for a day or two (similar to a mild sunburn), but you can usually resume your daily activities and skin routine right away.
The results after non-ablative laser resurfacing are gradual. Because ResurFX is a limited downtime procedure, you will likely need multiple treatments to begin seeing meaningful results. You’re more likely to notice improvements in your skin texture and pigment than in wrinkles at first.
In most cases, at least 3-4 treatments over one month can help you attain optimum results.
What About Lumenis M22 ResurFX Laser Aftercare?
Very little aftercare is required, but be sure to avoid sun exposure and wear sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher in the days following the procedure. New sun damage can reverse your results.

- Frequently asked Questions about ResurFX
How is ResurFX better than other similar treatments?
ResurFX is faster; it treats the hidden condition in one pass without harming the skin’s surface. Normally, around 3 sessions are needed to have a visible enhancement in the skin texture. However, effectively after the primary treatment, you may see changes in pores dimensions.
Does ResurFX hurt?
The method may cause gentle uneasiness, however, the discomfort will be minimized by a topical anesthetic. Due to the non-ablative nature of the ResurFX laser, most patients find treatments extremely comfortable
How does it work?
Before the treatment, the skin was cleansed and sterilized and numbing cream was added for about 30 minutes. The ResurFX sends short laser pulses to the skin which may feel like a light vibration or slightly prickly sensation. A session can last up to 15-30 minutes depending on what area is focused on. We combine the treatment with our Zimmer cooling machine to increase comfort. All you will notice is that the skin can get somewhat pink and a little puffy. This only lasts 24 – 48 hours. Make sure to limit your sun exposure prior to this treatment. So make sure to wear your sunscreen and a hat to protect your skin.
How long does ResurFX last?
Commonly, results are accomplished after 3-6 sessions in 4-6 week intervals. However, you may continue to see improvements for up to six months following the treatment.
