Frequently Asked Questions
What Is M22 IPL?
M22 IPL is a non-surgical photo rejuvenation treatment that delivers controlled pulses of broad-spectrum light to address a variety of cosmetic skin concerns. The emitted light is selectively absorbed by targets in the skin such as such as excess melanin (brown pigment) and hemoglobin (visible blood vessels), while minimizing impact on the surrounding skin. This targeted interaction stimulates the body’s natural reparative response, supporting improvement in skin tone, texture, and clarity over time.
What Can M22 IPL Treat?
The M22 IPL system at the Washington Institute can address a broad spectrum of concerns, including:
-
Sun damage & age spots – Fades brown spots and evens out pigmentation.
-
Rosacea & redness – Reduces facial redness and visible capillaries/blood vessels.
-
Broken capillaries & vascular lesions – Helps diminish the appearance of small blood vessels and red spots.
-
Acne & acne scarring – Reduces inflammation and bacteria while improving texture.
-
Uneven skin tone & texture – Stimulates collagen remodeling for a smoother, younger-looking complexion.
What to Expect During Treatment
Your M22 IPL session at the Washington Institute of Dermatologic Laser Surgery is performed in a comfortable treatment room and typically takes about 15–30 minutes, depending on the area being treated. Most patients experience a snapping feeling during treatment and mild warming sensation. No pain or discomfort is expected post-treatment.
Multiple sessions — usually spaced several weeks apart — are recommended for best results. There is minimal downtime, and you can typically return to your normal activities immediately.
