Treatment Info

Icon™ Laser Acne & Surgical Scar Treatments

Scars don’t have to make you feel self-conscious! The advanced laser technology of the Icon Aesthetic System can revitalize your skin and reduce the appearance of scars without causing painful side effects.

How Do Laser Scar Treatments Work?

The Icon uses fractional laser light beams to revitalize scar tissues by encouraging skin cell turnover. The new tissues help improve the skin’s texture, tone, and overall appearance, while lessening the appearance of scars. Icon laser scar treatments are revolutionary because they use the body’s own healing processes to safely deliver results. Laser scar removal is safe for most skin types and areas, including the face.

What to Expect During Icon Laser Scar Reduction

Laser scar treatments last about 30 minutes. Most patients will need multiple appointments to remove scars. Icon laser treatments are not painful, but a cooling anesthetic can be applied to reduce patient discomfort. Side effects usually include some temporary redness and swelling, but they will resolve quickly. Patients are often able to resume their normal activities immediately following the procedure without experiencing any downtime.
