8 Amazing Benefits of the Icon Laser

Reversing the appearance of damaged skin sounds like wishful thinking. But the Icon™ laser by Cynosure® not only corrects issues with your skin, but it also elevates its appearance to a whole new level.

At Advanced Implant Dentistry & MedSpa of North Shore in Glenview, Illinois, Dr. Howard Jeon, Dr. Michael Monto and our professional team provide noninvasive Icon cosmetic facial treatments to help your skin achieve its ultimate potential when it comes to health and beauty. Our Icon laser treatments go beyond facials. We also treat any part of your body that you may want to improve.

How the Icon laser works

The Icon laser has several different handpieces to help achieve your desired results. Our team currently uses two of them:

Icon 1540 fractional laser 

This device bypasses the surface of your skin and goes down into the deep layers to stimulate new tissue growth. We use this laser to improve the texture of your skin that might be damaged from scarring. It can also treat some of your pigment issues.

Icon MaxG™

We use this device for photofacials. It sends intense pulsed light (IPL) that delivers light wavelengths to your targeted area. It can take away problems, such as dark spots on your skin, wrinkles, and fine lines.

Benefits of the Icon laser

The Icon laser’s advanced technology offers many benefits for different skin conditions. It can reduce the appearance of the following:

The device gives your skin an overall improvement in the area treated. After your treatment, you should notice a much smoother appearance because of the new cell growth in your skin.

It can also be used on all skin types and all skin colors, making it a flexible treatment for anyone.

What to expect during and after treatment

If you have sensitive skin, we can apply a topical anesthetic to make sure you don’t feel any pain. Depending on the area or several areas we treat, your session takes an hour or less.

When you come into our practice for your appointment, you can schedule to treat multiple areas at one time or come back in for other treatments later.

It can take your skin as little as four days to fully recover. The end result is younger-looking skin and less visibility of past problem areas.

To schedule a consultation or an appointment for treatment with the Icon laser, reach out to our team today at 847-998-8100, or book your appointment online. If you have any questions before your visit, feel free to send us a message.
