1540 Fractional Resurfacing

• Non-ablative fractional lasers work exceptionally well for skin resurfacing and the treatment of traumatic or surgical scars, acne scars, wrinkles, and stretch marks.
• Safely and effectively penetrates, stimulating the skin to repair itself, replacing damaged, older cells with new, healthier cells.
• Less painful and less invasive laser resurfacing of the skin than traditional ablative laser procedures.
• Additional comfort measures with the 1540 laser treatments is the active contact cooling on the handpiece.
• As the laser handpiece touches your skin, the cooled surface helps minimize the sensation of heat from the laser beam.
• Little to no downtime makes this treatment ideal for individuals who want to achieve impressive results and resume daily activities quickly.

This laser system delivers visible results quickly and is a powerful, effective treatment alternative to more invasive, ablative laser treatments. Treatment sessions take approximately 30 minutes with little to no downtime, allowing you to quickly return to your daily activities. The Icon 1540 Fractional^™ laser system is also less painful than traditional ablative treatments  because of its unique ability to emit a single, short pulse of laser energy versus other systems that emit multiple, longer pulses to the skin, which heats the skin more. With its active contact cooling handpiece and application of numbing cream, this procedure is very tolerable, while still offering maximized results.

The Icon 1540 Fractional^™ laser system emits highly controlled light energy into the deep layers of the skin with precise microscopic beams. This energy then creates narrow, deep columns of skin coagulation that stimulate new, healthy skin cells to replace older, damaged skin cells. This same light energy heats the target area specifically, stimulating production of new collagen and promoting resurfacing of younger, fresher, healthier skin. Over time, scars and stretch marks are greatly reduced, leading to smoother and lighter skin. 

Most patients will notice that their skin tone is smoother and more even after about three weeks, with progressive improvement over the course of six months as the skin naturally renews itself. For fractional laser treatments, one to three treatment sessions are recommended for skin renewal, and three to five or more sessions are recommended for stretch marks and scars.
