The Icon device by Cynosure uses the Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology to visibly enhance skin appearance. With its broad-spectrum light, IPL effectively targets skin irregularities, such as dark spots, redness, and signs of inflammatory acne.

Benefits and highlights

• Fades dark spots: Reduces sunspots, age marks, and dark pigmentation caused by hormonal changes.
• Reduces redness: Visibly minimizes rosacea, couperose, and small visible blood vessels.
• Improves inflammatory acne: Helps regulate oil production while soothing redness and inflammation.
• Boosts collagen production: Smooths skin texture, minimizes pores, and enhances skin elasticity.

How it works

IPL technology targets two key components in the skin:

• Melanin (brown pigment): To help fade dark spots.
• Hemoglobin (red pigment): To reduce redness and visible blood vessels.

The light-based energy generates gentle heat, which breaks down unwanted pigment and treats dilated blood vessels. Dark spots may initially darken before naturally exfoliating themselves over 7 to 10 days, revealing a clearer, more even complexion.

Customizable treatment areas

Icon IPL treatments are suitable for multiple areas, including:

• Face, neck, and décolleté: To achieve smoother, brighter skin.
• Hands and other body areas: To address pigmentation concerns wherever needed.

Every session is customized to meet your specific skin goals, ensuring personalized care and optimal results.

What to expect

• Dark spots: Spots darken temporarily before naturally shedding, revealing a more even, radiant skin tone.
• Redness: Visible blood vessels fade, improving overall skin tone.
• Acne relief: Reduced inflammation and fewer noticeable lesions.

Treatment plan

• Time per session: 30 to 60 minutes.
• Recommended treatments: A series of 3 to 6 sessions, spaced 4 weeks apart.
• Maintenance: Seasonal touch-ups are recommended to maintain results.

Before & after care tips

• Before treatment: Avoid sun exposure and harsh skincare products.
• After treatment: Soothe your skin with calming creams and use broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect and enhance results.
