Lumenis M22 for couperose?

Question

Hello, I am confused, could you clarify it for me, please is it IPL (which to my knowledge is not golden standard for couperose) or a laser? And is it effective for treating capillaries? Thank you!

Hi, kameliya23,
My office uses the M22 IPL with OPT (Optimal Pulse Technology) to treat couperose. An IPL treatment uses intense pulsed light to reduce pigmentation of the skin, including redness, vascular lesions, capillaries, and discolorations (sun spots, freckles, etc.). The M22 IPL with OPT is actually a "gold standard" for the treatment of couperose because it allows for very customized settings using specific filters and pulse settings to effectively reduce and/or eliminate redness and visible capillaries. I think M22 may be an excellent solution for the treatment of couperose skin.
I suggest a consultation with a local specialist to discuss your best treatment options for couperose.
Best wishes,
Dr. KathyLee Santangelo
