CYNOSURE ICON: Advanced Technology

The Cynosure Icon platform is the newest, safest and most advanced light-based technology available.  The Icon contains a proprietary Skintel® Melanin Reader™ that measures the exact melanin content of the skin in a quantitative manner. Skintel technology allows your practitioner to customize your treatment settings based on an objective, precise reading and deliver the safest and most impactful treatment possible.


THE TREATMENT:

This non-invasive, in-office procedure is customized for each individual by a highly trained practitioner. It can be used to treat large areas (i.e. the full face) or as a spot treatment (i.e. individual age spots).

After performing a full skin history and visual analysis, the calibrated a Skintel® Melanin Reader  is used to precisely measure your underlying pigment levels. Your treatment settings are adjusted to match your skin type and condition.

A series of three to five treatments, spaced four to six weeks apart, is recommended for full correction.  Treatments are comfortable and have little downtime.  Some may experience temporary redness and a mild, sun-burn like feeling immediately after treatment, which resolves within a few hours or days.  IPL is safest and most effective when performed during the fall, winter or spring.


THE RESULTS:

IPL delivers noticeable improvement of unwanted pigment.  Results improve gradually with each treatment.
