What is Icon 1540 Laser Skin Treatment?
You deserve to look as youthful and beautiful on the outside as you feel on the inside. Our laser treatments help you reduce fine lines and wrinkles, minimize scars or stretch marks, smooth out the skin texture, or simply build collagen. Icon™ 1540 fractional laser treatments produce beautiful, long-lasting, natural-looking results safely, with minimal downtime, and without surgery.
Why Choose Icon 1540 Laser Treatment?
Icon™ 1540 utilizes fractional laser technology to deliver specialized pulses of energy into your skin and target your unwanted pigment, wrinkles, stretch marks or scars without causing harm to the surrounding skin. Once the energy is absorbed into the skin, your body's natural healing process will begin creating new, healthy skin in the area that was treated. Over the next few weeks, you will see continued improvement in both the colouration and smoothness of your skin.
Lasers that deliver fractionated light are generally safer and produce consistent results.

What is fractional laser skin resurfacing?
Fractional laser skin resurfacing can be used to treat a number of skin conditions, with minimal downtime. The ICON 1540 laser delivers heat to the deeper layers of the skin, which initiates the body's natural healing process to promote new collagen and elastin production. The new collagen and elastin help to improve skin tone and texture, while also helping to revolumize the skin.
Fractional skin resurfacing with the 1540nm erbium laser is much safer and avoids the side effects and complications associated with non-fractionated lasers.
What downtime is involved?
Most clients experience minimal downtime, with some mild redness and swelling for a few days. Since these treatments are fractionated and less invasive, 3-5 sessions are generally recommended for full results, performed every 4-6 weeks.
When will I notice results?
Many clients will see a positive change within 3-8 weeks after the first treatment. Optimal results usually occur after 2 to 3 months, which allows for complete healing and replacement of new collagen and elastin.
Results vary with individual factors and can be enhanced using recommended home products and excellent sun protection.
How many treatments will I need?
The ICON 1540 treatments are more effective if performed in a series of sessions.
Each session treats approximately 20 – 25 % of the skin and clinical studies indicate that an effective treatment regimen involves 3 to 5 treatments, 4-6 weeks apart.
Certain conditions, such as severe acne scarring may require more treatments for optimal results.
What to expect after treatment?
During the first 24 hours after treatment, the skin may feel mildly sunburned, sensitive, and somewhat swollen.
Over the next few days, the skin may appear slightly bronzed, which can be easily covered with makeup. There may be some flaking, which can be improved by using a moisturizer.
What areas of the face and body can the Icon 1540 be used on?
The ICON 1540 can be used on scars and stretch marks anywhere on the face or body. However, when used to address fine lines and skin texture, the best results are seen when used on the face.
What kind of acne scars can the Icon 1540 be used on?
The ICON 1540 works for all acne scars. It works by heating the deeper layers of the skin to promote the growth of new collagen in the dermis.

ThreeForMe™ Skin Treatment
The IPL combined with the 1540 is a very popular and effective ThreeForMe™ and occurs in 3 different steps to address different aspects of your skin concerns.
This treatment tackles three common skin problems all at the same time: wrinkles, sun damage, and facial veins.
-
Step 1:
The first uses IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) and the Cynosure Icon Max G system to reduce pigmentation. IPL uses very fast pulses of light to damage melanin or blood cells in the skin, after which the body can shed them as waste.
-
Step 2:
After IPL treatment, the Cynosure 1540XD fractional laser performs non-ablative laser resurfacing to stimulate collagen and elastin production through heat, naturally tightening and lifting the skin over time.
-
Step 3:
The third step uses the 1540 XF laser, which performs the final touches on lightening and brightening the skin, as well as improving the skin’s tone and texture. This process requires minimal downtime and saves time you would otherwise spend on three separate sessions.
