IPL Photofacial Specialist Q&A

More commonly referred to as the ICON IPL, this top of the line system harnesses the power of intense pulsed light (IPL) and fractional lasers in one convenient and effective system. The ICON IPL can target and address a wide range of common aesthetic concerns for both men and women. In addition, this cutting-edge laser system utilizes a built in Skintel Melanin Reader. This component allows your clinician to easily target pigmentation issues by more accurately assessing the melanin density of specific areas of hyperpigmentation. This ensures that the appropriate amount of energy is directed into the skin in order to break up these melanin deposits, which offers better results.

One of the most extraordinary things about the Cynosure Palomar Icon IPL system is that it allows your provider to offer a wide range of treatments with one combined system. The ICON IPL phototherapy system can provide effective wrinkle reduction, laser hair removal, skin resurfacing to address acne and acne scarring, sun damage, age spots, and uneven skin texture or tone. It can also address unsightly spider veins on the face or legs, improve the appearance of scars on all skin tones, and can even improve the appearance of rosacea in patients with this inflammatory condition. The ICON IPL offers unsurpassed customization by allowing your provider to adjust the wavelengths to the exact needs of each individual patient. This means you enjoy the most comfortable experience and the greatest aesthetic improvement possible.

The results you will achieve depend on numerous factors including the specific issues you wish to address, your skin tone, and the severity of your condition. On average, those who undergo treatment for hyperpigmentation, wrinkles, or scarring concerns will notice improvement within 2-3 weeks. Many patients will choose to undergo multiple treatment sessions over a longer period of time in order to improve their final results. Patients will enjoy smoother and more even skin tone and texture, as their body continues to create new collagen following their treatment. IPL phototherapy offers almost immediate improvement, while also stimulating the body’s natural anti-aging processes in the long-term, which allows you to enjoy the benefits of your treatment long after your appointment is over.

Many patients may think of older laser systems when they read about aesthetic laser treatments. These older systems often caused intense discomfort for patients during and after their treatment. The ICON IPL system prioritizes efficacy and comfort by using Advanced Contact Cooling to maintain a comfortable skin temperature that also provides protection and reduces the chances of any adverse reaction. AccuSpectrum dual filters help to deliver laser energy below the surface of the skin, which minimizes epidermal exposure and improves the comfort of patients during their treatment session. In addition to delivering a comfortable laser experience, ICON IPL also delivers the most powerful laser energy available on the market, ensuring patients achieve results they can truly love.
