How Does It Work?

ICON™ utilizes fractional laser technology to deliver specialized pulses of energy into your skin and targeting your unwanted pigment, wrinkles, stretch marks or scars without causing harm to the surrounding skin. Once the energy is absorbed into the skin your body’s natural healing process will begin creating new, healthy skin in the area that was treated. Over the next few weeks, you will see continued improvement in both the coloration and smoothness of your skin.

What Should I Expect During The Treatment?

Depending on the size of the area being treated, sessions typically take less than 30 minutes. First, you will be provided with eye shields to protect yourself from the laser during treatment. The treatment will begin with the provider guiding the ICON™ handpiece over the treatment area. During this, the laser will deliver energy to your skin.

Depending on the care option we select, you may feel nothing during treatment or mild discomfort. Post-treatment instructions will be provided to manage pain if necessary. You may also experience some redness and/or swelling a few days after treatment at the site, but this typically resolves on the third day.

Follow-up treatment sessions should be scheduled 3-6 weeks apart if needed. If you are a laser resurfacing patient, please remove all make-up and lotions prior to treatment. At least four weeks before your appointment, please discontinue unprotected sun exposure, tanning beds, and tanning creams in the areas receiving treatment.

What Are The Post Treatment Instructions?

Immediately after the treatment, redness, swelling, and/or brown debris on the surface of the skin are common and typically last 2-24 hours but could last up to 3-5 days in some cases.

After treatment, gentle cleansing and the use of non-irritating cosmetics are permitted. Avoid sun exposure on the treated area and use sunscreen SPF 45 or greater at all times throughout the course of treatment.
