Am I a Candidate for the Cynosure® Icon™ Laser Procedure?

Candidates for the Cynosure® Icon™ laser have a wide range of skin concerns, from fine lines and wrinkles to stretch marks or scars. Patients looking to enhance their existing beauty and improve the overall health of their skin to reduce and slow down the signs of aging are great candidates for skin renewal and revitalization treatments. Candidates should be in good general health, use sunscreen and proper skincare, and have realistic expectations about their results. You may be asked to stop taking certain types of medications during your treatment, and this will be discussed with you during your consultation.

 

How Is the Cynosure® Icon™ Laser Procedure Performed?

This procedure is safe, non-invasive, and can be completed in 10 to 45 minutes.

Depending on type of treatments and areas a local anesthetic cream may be administered to make you feel comfortable with the treatment.

The specifics of your Icon™ treatment will depend on the skin concerns you are trying to address.

This laser treatment offers both intense pulsed light (IPL) and fractional laser technologies (Icon™ 1540 laser). The use of these will depend on your skin concern.

IPL is used to minimize wrinkles, sun damage, and facial veins.

Icon™ 1540 laser is used to minimize fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, surgical scars, and uneven skin tone and texture.

The exclusive ThreeForMe™ procedure is a IPL photofacial plus skin revitalization using the Fractional 1540 Erbium Laser.

What Is Cynosure® Icon™ Laser Procedure Recovery Like?

It is common to experience some discomfort following the procedure that feels similar to a sunburn.

The Icon™ laser requires minimal to no downtime, but you may experience swelling, bruising, or temporary discoloration or darkeningof the skin in the area that received laser treatment.

You will be given instructions for posttreatment careto expedite the healing process.

When Will I See My Cynosure® Icon™ Laser Results?

While some patients can see results in as few as one to two treatments, others require three to five treatments to reduce the visibility of wrinkles or scars and improve skin texture. Your doctor will discuss your options (and the estimated number of sessions) with you during your consultation.

Over time, you will notice the gradual reduction of fine lines and the firmer appearance of your facial complexion.
