FACIAL TREATMENTS
Icon 1540 - laser rejuvenation, resurfacing and scar reduction
The Icon Palomar 1540 is a non-ablative fractional laser with a wavelength of 1540 nm. The laser works deep into the skin’s structure for intense remodeling. It provides skin thickening and tissue reconstruction which results in a long-lasting modeling effect. It is especially often used to reduce wrinkles on the face. It stimulates collagen fibers to produce collagen, so it is also used to treat tissue defects in trauma and acne scars.

Safety
The Icon Palomar 1540 laser is a non-invasive equipment for deep skin remodeling. Thanks to the special head and treatment procedures, one session for the whole face takes about 15 minutes! The laser has no ablative effect, which makes the patient return to daily activities faster, and the recovery period is much shorter than after lasers that vaporize the top layers of the epidermis. Icon Palomar 1540 brings great results in improving the appearance of the skin and reducing various problems caused by external factors.

Effectiveness
The effectiveness of the Icon Palomar 1540 is due to its ability to deliver controlled laser energy, which stimulates the skin’s natural regeneration and collagen production processes, leading to an improved appearance. Visibly reduces signs of aging, improves skin tone, reduces the appearance of pores and removes discoloration. Its precision allows it to work selectively directly on the treatment site without risking damage to surrounding tissues.

The Icon Palomar 1540 treatment may cause some discomfort or slight warmth. The sensation of the treatment may vary from patient to patient and from one type and intensity of treatment to another.
To minimize any discomfort, anesthesia or skin cooling may be used before and during the procedure. During the procedure, a cosmetologist monitors the patient’s sensations throughout to make the treatment comfortable.
It is worth remembering that redness, swelling or a burning sensation may occur after the procedure, but these symptoms usually subside within a few hours to a few days.
Preparation for the Icon 1540 treatment is important to ensure safety and achieve the best results.
- Consultation with an experienced specialist – an interview and assessment of the initial condition of the patient’s skin for the selection of an appropriate treatment procedure, exclusion of contraindications to the procedure.
- avoiding sunbathing – before the treatment, avoid sunbathing of the treatment area a minimum of 2-4 weeks to avoid messy side effects after the use of intense pulsed light
- avoiding irritating skin care products – those containing retinoids, alpha-hydroxy acids (AHA) or beta-hydroxy acids (BHA), which can increase skin sensitivity to the treatment.
- Be cautious about taking medications or supplements – if you are taking any medications or supplements, inform your specialist about the exact products, as some may increase the risk of adverse reactions.
- Preparation for the recovery period and post-surgical care – the cosmetologist will inform you thoroughly before the visit about the recovery period and post-surgical exclusions, and the patient will also receive thorough instructions on post-surgical care, which is a hugely important factor in proper healing after treatment with the Icon 1540 device.
Treatments, depending on the procedure selected by the cosmetologist, are performed in a fixed series of about 3-4 treatments every 4-6 weeks.
Icon 1540 – combination therapies
For strong skin remodeling, a combination of two procedures can be used in a single treatment. The MaxG head with intense pulsed light at 500-670 nm and 870 -1200 nm in the same pulse, and the 1540 head emitting a 1540 nm laser beam.
This technique is used for patients who want to reduce the appearance of vascularity, erythema, remove sun discoloration and deeply stimulate the skin to reduce wrinkles and fine lines in a single treatment.
This is one of the more powerful remodeling therapies in the clinic with such a short treatment time, as the procedure takes about 30 minutes! Be sure to ask your cosmetologist about this treatment.
