Your Questions Answered
What happens during the treatment?
Depending on your pain threshold and the type of treatment, topical anaesthetic may be applied 10- 30 minutes prior to treatment. Your doctor will then place a handheld device with a smooth glass surface that pulses the laser onto your skin, moving the device over the treatment area. When your treatment is finished a cold compress can be applied to ease any discomfort.
Does it hurt?
Each pulse of the laser causes a snapping sensation that can be compared to the snapping of a rubber band. The device has a built in cooling system is highly effective at providing additional comfort.
When will I see results?
Results depend on the type of treatment being carried out, but you will generally notice an improvement in both texture and tone of the skin 2 to 3 weeks after the first treatment. After three or more consecutive treatments, there will be further improvement.
How many treatments will I need?
For optimal results, a series of 3 to 5 sessions spaced 3 to 4 weeks apart is recommended. You may also wish to incorporate a treatment touch-up treatment every 6 months to maintain results.
What is the down time?
Immediately after your ICON laser treatment your skin will feel warm, red, and may be slightly swollen (similar to a sunburn). These effects usually resolve on their own within one to three days at most. Some mild bruising may also occur over particularly delicate areas, as well as crusting, scabbing and darkened patches. These reactions gradually subside within 1 to 2 weeks after treatment.
Is it safe?
This technology is FDA approved and one of the safest lasers available for aesthetic non-surgical treatments.
