The Lumenis M22 ResurFX is a non-ablative, fractional laser skin resurfacing system designed to improve skin texture, tone, and elasticity while minimizing downtime.
How it works
ResurFX uses a 1565 nm fiber laser with a CoolScan™ scanner to deliver controlled microbeams of energy in tiny, fractionated spots across the skin. Because it’s non-ablative, it does not destroy the skin’s surface — instead, it heats the deeper dermal layers to stimulate collagen production and remodeling. This process helps the skin naturally repair and regenerate, leading to smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.
What it treats
ResurFX is effective for a range of skin concerns, including:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Age spots and sun spots
- Stretch marks (striae)
- Mild scarring (acne, surgical)
- Uneven skin tone or hyperpigmentation
- Minor skin laxity
Benefits
- Improves skin texture, tone, and elasticity
- Stimulates collagen for gradual, long-lasting results
- Minimal recovery time — most patients return to normal activities within 24–72 hours
- Comfortable experience with topical anesthesia
Typical session length: 60 minutes, including topical anesthesia numbing time.
Series Recommendations: 3-6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart, depending on severity and goals
In short, the Lumenis M22 ResurFX is a fast, comfortable, and effective non-surgical option for skin rejuvenation, ideal for those seeking smoother, firmer skin with minimal downtime.
