What Is the Cynosure Icon Laser?
The Cynosure Icon is an innovative aesthetic platform that uses powerful laser and light energy instead of incisions or injections to meet a variety of cosmetic needs. The system offers several settings to target different layers of your skin while leaving surrounding areas unharmed.
The laser addresses discoloration, laxity, rough texture, and more by delivering pulses of light that heat the tissue beneath the skin’s surface. This energy stimulates your body’s natural healing response, generating new cells and collagen for a smooth, youthful finish.
What Does the Cynosure Icon Laser Treat?
Your provider may recommend Icon laser treatments for skin resurfacing, skin tightening, scar reduction, stretch mark reduction, and IPL photofacials for sun spots, redness, and facial veins.
Skin Resurfacing
Skin resurfacing is a comprehensive skin improvement technique that removes or minimizes multiple upper-layer imperfections at once, including fine lines, enlarged pores, rough texture, and uneven tone. After a series of Icon laser treatments, you’ll see a notable improvement in your skin’s tone and texture. Learn more about treating wrinkles and fine lines.
Skin Tightening
In as little as one Icon treatment, you can achieve a subtle yet satisfying improvement in your skin’s elasticity, with fewer lines and an overall more youthful appearance. For deeper skin laxity, we may also recommend Morpheus8 or Ultherapy.
Scar Reduction
If you have noticeable scars on your face or body, the Cynosure Icon can dramatically improve their appearance, even if they’re several years old. The laser prompts your body to continue the healing process after injuries, surgery, or severe acne breakouts. Explore all of our options for acne scars, including SkinPen microneedling.
Stretch Mark Reduction
Stretched skin after puberty, pregnancy, or weight changes can leave discolored lines called stretch marks. While there’s no cure, a few Cynosure Icon treatments can minimize them considerably by improving color and texture. Patients who have lost weight through our medical weight loss program often pair laser treatments with body contouring.
IPL for Sun Spots, Redness, and Facial Veins
The Icon features an exclusive handpiece that treats discoloration and facial vessels using Intense Pulsed Light (IPL). Patients see immediate improvement in facial veins, while brown spots darken and flake off within two to three weeks. IPL can be safely used on most skin types and treats sun-related concerns such as sun spots, broken capillaries, and redness associated with rosacea. Learn more about hyperpigmentation and sun damage.
What Are the Side Effects?
The Cynosure Icon works gently and is safe for most skin types. Some patients notice mild redness, tenderness, or swelling in the hours or days after treatment. Your provider evaluates your medical history at your consultation to make sure laser treatment is your best option and provides aftercare instructions to set your skin up for success. Protect your results with daily sunscreen and Bluestone Sunshields.
Combining Laser Treatments for Better Results
Laser treatments pair beautifully with other services. Many patients combine Icon resurfacing with exosome therapy to speed healing, chemical peels for added brightening, and Botox for expression lines. We also offer laser hair removal for smooth, hair-free skin. Medical-grade skincare from SkinCeuticals helps maintain results. See more results in our Before & After gallery.
