What is M22 Color Light Therapy? Learn about its effects on improving blemishes, redness, and acne scars.
What is M22 color ray?
As people age, due to accumulated UV rays and lifestyle factors, many begin to experience problems such as sunspots, uneven skin tone, redness, enlarged pores, and rough skin texture. If you want to improve various skin concerns without experiencing a long recovery period, M22 Intense Pulsed Light is one of the most popular phototherapy treatments available today! Utilizing pulsed light of different wavelengths, combined with various filter settings, it can provide customized treatments to improve pigmentation, vascular, and skin texture issues according to different skin conditions, achieving skin improvement in a gentle way.
What is the working principle of M22 color pulse?
M22 Color Pulse Light is a phototherapy treatment based on IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) combined with Lumenis' OPT (Optimal Pulse Technology). It can adjust the light wavelength and treatment parameters according to different skin conditions, so that it can act on the skin more precisely and improve problems such as spots, redness, acne marks and uneven skin tone.
During treatment, the doctor will select appropriate filters and energy settings based on the patient's skin condition, allowing different wavelengths of light to act on melanin, hemoglobin, and collagen in the skin to achieve the following effects:
Lighten pigmentation
Improves facial redness
Even skin tone
Enhances skin radiance
Stimulates collagen regeneration
Improves enlarged pores and fine lines.
Because it can be customized to address different skin problems, a single treatment can treat multiple skin conditions at the same time.

What are the differences between color pulsed light and traditional pulsed light?
◎ Traditional pulsed light
Traditional pulsed light uses a wavelength range of 560~1,200nm, which is gentle and has a relatively single wavelength. Although it can improve skin conditions, the energy is dispersed and lacks precision, so more treatments are needed to achieve the desired effect. In addition, there is a risk of burns due to uneven energy output, so more caution is required during treatment.
◎ M22 Color Filter
The M22 Color Pulsed Light is an upgraded version of traditional pulsed light. It subdivides the pulsed light wavelength into several different ranges, allowing for customized combinations based on individual skin conditions. This makes treatment more efficient and precise, and can improve a wider range of skin problems, such as fading pigmentation, improving blemishes, minimizing pores, and enhancing skin texture.
In addition, M22 color pulsed light is a gentle treatment using low energy, which reduces damage to skin tissue, has no recovery period after the procedure, and balances safety and efficacy.

What problems can the M22 color polishing improve?
◎ Sunspots, freckles, age spots
Intense pulsed light (IPL) has different treatment effects on deep and shallow spots, especially targeting melanin in the skin, which gradually metabolizes the pigment and improves spots caused by sun exposure or aging.
◎ Facial redness and dilated capillaries
For redness caused by rosacea or sensitive skin, or dilated small blood vessels on the face, appropriate wavelengths can also improve skin tone evenness.
◎ Acne scars
Red acne scars or superficial pigmentation left by acne can be improved more quickly through color laser treatment, resulting in a cleaner complexion.
◎ Large pores
Intense pulsed light can stimulate collagen production, improve skin support, and make pores appear more refined.
◎ Dull skin tone
It improves skin radiance and translucency, making the overall skin condition brighter and more vibrant.
◎ Fine lines and early signs of aging
It improves early fine lines and loss of skin elasticity by stimulating collagen remodeling in the dermis.
What are the advantages of the M22 color-changing light?
◎ Customized treatment
The M22 has a variety of filters and energy parameters that can be adjusted according to different skin conditions, rather than using the same settings for everyone, thus better meeting individual needs.
◎ Improve multiple problems at once
Unlike some lasers that target a single problem, M22 can improve pigmentation, blood vessels, and skin texture at the same time, so many people regard it as a daily maintenance phototherapy.
◎ Short recovery period
After treatment, most patients only experience mild redness, which usually improves gradually within a few hours to one or two days and does not affect daily life.
◎Suitable for regular maintenance
Many people schedule a treatment every 3 to 4 weeks depending on their skin condition to continuously improve their skin condition and enhance its quality.
M22 Color Filtering Common Problems
Q: What is the difference between M22 color laser and picosecond laser?
Pico lasers are mainly used to treat pigmentation and tattoos, while M22 color lasers can improve pigmentation, redness, capillaries, uneven skin tone, and skin texture. Therefore, the two are not interchangeable, but can be used together depending on the skin condition.
Q: Is one treatment effective?
Some people can see a brighter complexion after just one treatment, but for issues like spots, redness, or enlarged pores, a full course of treatment is usually required to achieve a more stable improvement.
Q: Will color-changing light cause the ink to turn black?
As long as a professional physician adjusts the appropriate energy according to the skin type and takes good care of post-operative sun protection and moisturizing, most people can safely undergo the treatment; whether pigmentation occurs is still related to individual constitution, sun exposure and post-operative care.
Q: Who is the M22 color-changing flashlight suitable for?
If you have any of the following concerns, you can consider having a professional physician assess whether you are a suitable candidate:
* Face is prone to redness
* Increase in sunspots and freckles
Dull and lackluster skin
Acne scars that don't fade for a long time
Large pores
Fine lines begin to appear
*Want to improve skin texture, but don't want a long recovery period.
(Please note that if you are pregnant, have recently experienced significant sun exposure, have a skin infection, have an open wound, or are currently taking photosensitizing medications, you should first consult a doctor to determine if you are a suitable candidate for treatment.)

Q: Will it hurt when I get an M22 color laser treatment?
Most people will feel a sensation similar to a rubber band lightly snapping against their skin during treatment. With the aid of the instrument's cooling system, the discomfort is usually tolerable. If you are more sensitive to pain, you can follow the clinic's procedures and have numbing cream or other soothing methods applied to improve the comfort of the treatment.
Q: How many times does the M22 color polishing process need to be done to be effective?
The actual number of treatments depends on the skin problem. Generally speaking: Skin care: about 3 to 5 sessions; Pigmentation improvement: about 3 to 6 sessions; Redness improvement: about 4 to 6 sessions; Acne scar improvement: about 3 to 6 sessions. Usually, each treatment session is spaced about 3 to 4 weeks apart. Please have a professional doctor assess your condition and be patient with the treatment to allow your skin sufficient time to repair and metabolize for the desired effect.
Q: How should I care for myself after M22 color laser treatment?
Post-operative care can affect the treatment outcome. It is recommended to: * Strengthen moisturizing * Apply sunscreen daily * Avoid excessive sun exposure, exfoliation, and acid-based skincare for one week * Temporarily avoid saunas, ovens, and high-temperature environments * If pigmented scabs appear, do not pick at them; wait for them to fall off naturally * Proper sun protection and moisturizing can also help reduce the risk of pigmentation.
* If you have cardiovascular disease, coagulation disorders, respiratory diseases, liver or kidney dysfunction, autoimmune diseases, psychosomatic medical history, infectious diseases, or are pregnant or breastfeeding, please inform us before the procedure so that we can fully understand your health condition and assess the suitability and safety of the treatment.
