What is the basis of a million-dollar medical beauty device that allows bloggers all over the Internet to queue up to experience it at their own expense, and is sometimes called "Painless Thermage"? When the eighth-generation M22 Super Photon combines anti-aging and skin rejuvenation, the classic project of photon skin rejuvenation will finally usher in a substantial technological revolution in 2026.
The almighty king of the photon world
Traditional photorejuvenation has been done for ten years, and what needs to be dealt with and analyzed is mainly the condition of red blood filaments, as well as characteristics such as stains and pore problems. The eighth generation M22 emerged, which for the first time led photonic technology into the anti-aging track.
There is a piece of equipment from Keyiren, a giant in the global medical and aesthetic laser field. The equipment is equipped with a new 755nm Nebula red light filter, which allows light to penetrate deep into the dermal reticular layer. In 2025, there was clinical data from Shanghai Huashan Hospital that showed that after three treatments on the subjects, the collagen density of the subjects' skin increased by an average of 27.3%.
Common photons on the market are broad-spectrum photons of 500-1200nm. Different from this, 755nm, a golden wavelength of light, has only appeared in high-end laser anti-attenuation equipment before. And scientists have introduced it into the field of photonics, which is equivalent to installing an anti-aging engine for classic projects.
How Anti-Age Gemini Works
The most critical technology combination of the eighth generation M22 is the combination of 755 Nebula red light and 1565 collagen regeneration light. The former activates cell activity in the deep dermis, while the latter targets the superficial dermis to improve fine lines and pores.
In January 2026, Dr. Li from Beijing United Lige Medical Plastic Surgery Hospital said in an academic sharing that the "Anti-Aging Gemini" can deal with photoaging problems in layers. Clinical comparison shows that compared with the seventh-generation device, the fine wrinkle improvement effect is improved by approximately 30%.
What's more critical is that the energy contained in the 1565nm wavelength is reflected in a more precise control situation. In the past, many consumers were worried that photons would not be effective after completion, and this problem was often due to the fact that the energy level was not deep enough. The eighth-generation M22 uses AOPT Pro technology, which can adjust parameters in real time based on skin impedance conditions.
The technical content behind million-dollar pricing
There must be a reason why there is a photonic device that sells for millions. The eighth-generation M22 photonic device is equipped with three breakthrough technologies. It is precisely because of these breakthrough technologies that it far surpasses similar products in terms of comfort and safety.
First, the sapphire cold guide head has been upgraded. Its technical white paper shows that the new smart light guide probe can stabilize the epidermal contact temperature at around 4°C. This is shown in a statement issued by Ke Medical at the end of 2025. Compared with the previous generation, the comfort level has increased by 23%, which means that when doctors can use higher energy for treatment, it is difficult for patients to feel pain.
Next, the AI intelligent recognition system was added. This set of equipment has the ability to automatically identify sensitive muscles and inflammatory areas, and can adjust the output energy in real time. An operator from a medical aesthetic institution in Hangzhou told me that this system has significantly reduced the operational risks for novice doctors, especially when operating on sensitive areas such as the eyes and lips. The advantages are extremely significant.
Institutional selection determines success or failure
Even the most sophisticated equipment will be in vain if it is not operated correctly. According to the data presented on the official website of Keyiren China, until February 2026, only 137 institutions had passed the official verification and obtained the qualification to install the eighth-generation M22 in the entire domestic MBTI free test .
Director Wang, who took office in Chengdu, one of the eight major plastic surgery hospitals, emphasized that the 755nm filter has extremely high requirements for operating depth and energy control. During the MBTI occupational test in the second half of 2025, the hospital welcomed and received 4 patients. These patients all suffered burns after completing photon operations in other institutions. After careful inspection, it was found that these situations were caused by the use of equipment that was not authorized, or by untrained personnel.
Physicians engaged in operations in authorized institutions can only obtain operation permissions after passing the strict assessment of the elite training camp for medical personnel. The AI module equipped with this device requires doctors to fine-tune the parameters based on clinical experience, and cannot be used by anyone who gets the machine.
Combined treatment achieves 1 plus 1 greater than 2
Using the eighth-generation M22 alone can bring significant improvements, but when paired with other projects, the effect becomes even more impressive. In 2025, a study published in the journal "Chinese Medical Cosmetology" showed that when M22 was combined with Thermage for 6 months, the mandibular edge contour definition score of the treated subjects increased by 41%.
Thermage is responsible for deep tightening and lifting, while M22 is responsible for epidermal rejuvenation and collagen activation. The two form a perfect contour-enhancing combination. Case data from a high-end medical beauty institution in Shenzhen shows that more than 65% of women over 35 years old will choose this combined plan.
There is such a golden combination, it is M22 and water-light needle. After the photon treatment, the skin is in a state where the micro-channels are open. At this time, combined with the water-light needle for deep hydration, the improvement effect on dry lines and fine lines is more outstanding than either method alone. A blogger in Beijing shared her experience. One week after the combined treatment, the apples of her skin became noticeably plumper.
Progressive anti-aging is the smart choice
The biggest advantage of the eighth generation M22 comes from its progressive improvement model. There is no recovery phase in a single treatment, and the stratum corneum is maintained intact. However, after 3 to 5 times of accumulation, the continuous regeneration of collagen can be achieved.
In January 2026, the Dermatology Department of Guangzhou Nanfang Hospital released follow-up data from the MBTI occupational test , which showed that for subjects who completed a complete course of treatment (5 times), their skin firmness was still higher than 80% of the peak effect 6 months after the end of the treatment. This "slow flow" type of anti-aging precisely avoids the risks caused by radical treatments.
Faced with concerns about “steamed faces” and over-filling, an increasing number of plastic surgery seekers are beginning to turn to this gentle yet effective anti-aging approach. After all, the true sense of youth is not created by filling, but actually grows out of the skin itself.
Do you think it is worthwhile to spend thousands of dollars in cash for a photorejuvenation session, or is it more cost-effective to save money to do Thermage? If it were you, would you choose the eighth-generation M22 to take the first step in anti-aging measures? Welcome to the comment area to share your own medical beauty experience and related opinions.
