How M22 IPL Works — Explained by Dr. Haitham Al-Gzlan

“The M22 IPL is one of the most customizable and scientifically advanced IPL systems we use,” explains Dr. Haitham. “Its ability to target multiple skin concerns with different wavelengths allows us to safely treat pigmentation, redness, and photoaging — especially for patients living in Riyadh’s hot and sunny climate.”

The technology uses intense pulses of light that selectively target pigment, vascular lesions, and damaged skin cells. The light is absorbed by chromophores in the skin, gently heating and breaking them down while stimulating collagen renewal.

Key features Dr. Haitham highlights:

✅ Multiple filters for customized treatment

✅ Precision cooling for patient comfort

✅ Safe for a wide range of skin tones

✅ High energy control for consistent results

✅ Effective for severe or resistant acne

✅ Reduces oil production and prevents clogged pores

✅ Helps minimize acne scarring

✅ Long-term remission after treatment

✅ Improves skin clarity and confidence

Skin Concerns Treated With M22 IPL

According to Dr. Haitham, the M22 IPL is ideal for patients looking to improve:

✅ Pigmentation & Dark Spots

Sunspots, melasma (mild), post-inflammatory marks, age spots.

✅ Vascular Redness

Rosacea, telangiectasia (broken capillaries), facial flushing.

✅ Uneven Skin Tone

Dullness, sun damage, discoloration, patchy texture.

✅ Photoaging

Early wrinkles, rough texture, loss of clarity.

✅ Enlarged Pores

Improves overall smoothness and brightness.

What to Expect During the Procedure

Dr. Haitham ensures that every M22 IPL session is customized to the patient’s skin type and concern.

During Treatment:

Protective goggles
Cool gel for comfort
Pulses of light lasting minutes
Mild warmth sensation
No downtime

After Treatment:

Slight redness that fades quickly
Pigmented spots may darken before peeling

When Will You See Results?

Most patients see visible improvement after the first session, with full results developing after 3–4 sessions, depending on the concern.
“Consistency is key,” says Dr. Haitham. “Pigmentation and redness respond best when treatments are spaced properly and paired with sun protection — especially in Riyadh.”
