Smoother skin. Softer scars. Renewed texture.
Cynosure's Icon 1540 non-ablative fractional laser helps improve skin texture and soften the appearance of wrinkles, acne scars and stretch marks.
At Photoderma, every treatment is tailored to your skin, the area concerned and your goals.
How does the fractional laser work?
The laser delivers many micro-beams that create small zones of controlled heat in the skin. This stimulates the skin's natural repair process and collagen renewal.
Untreated tissue is preserved between these zones to support recovery. The technology is called non-ablative because it does not remove the surface of the skin, as an ablative laser would.
Over time, this renewal helps make the skin smoother and improves its texture.
What concerns can it treat?
Acne scars
To soften some irregularities and depressed scars.
Surgical or traumatic scars
To improve their appearance, after assessment.
Stretch marks
To make them less visible and improve the texture of the area.
Frequently asked questions about the fractional laser
How is it different from IPL?
IPL mainly targets pigment spots and redness, while the fractional laser works more on texture, wrinkles and scars.
Depending on your needs, these technologies can be combined in a personalized treatment plan.
How does a session go?
After your skin is assessed, the area is cleaned and eye protection is put in place. The handpiece is then applied gradually over the area to be treated.
You may feel heat and tingling. Comfort measures are adapted to the treatment and to your sensitivity.
How many sessions are needed?
Several sessions may be recommended. Their number and spacing depend on your skin, the depth of the irregularities and the results you are looking for.
Improvements develop gradually as the tissue renews. Results vary from person to person.
What should you expect after the treatment?
Redness, swelling and a feeling of heat may last a few days. Recovery varies with the intensity of the treatment and the area treated.
Rigorous sun protection and gentle care are essential. Our team will give you the instructions to follow before and after each session.
