Cynosure ICON (IPL or MAG)
What is IPL treatment or pulsed light?
This technology consists of applying broad-spectrum light from a handpiece deposited on the skin. This light is directed at the two main skin chromophores, red pigment (hemoglobin) and brown pigment, melanocytes (pigment cells). Light targets hemoglobin by precipitating a clotting process. Subsequently, the body removes the clotted blood through a normal process of elimination.
The light sent to the brown pigment (stains) produces heat that removes water from the pigment cell. The spot becomes dry, slightly rough and exfoliates within 7 days of treatment. In addition to treating stains and rosacea, intense pulsed light stimulates the production of collagen and elastin in the skin. You will then see a marked improvement in the texture of the skin and a tightening of the dilated pores.
Photorejuvenation
How it works?
Light sensitivity and “sunburn” effect should be expected for 24 hours. A post-treatment cream is applied before your departure. You can use makeup immediately after the treatment.

THREE FOR ME Treatment (ICON by Cynosure)
Only ThreeForMe™ treatments address all of these conditions in a single procedure. The normal series of treatments involves between one and three procedures a month apart.
How ThreeForMe treatments work
The procedure is performed in two stages, or “passes”: The first pass treats facial discoloration and vessels using a technology called Intense Pulsed Light or IPL. IPL treats sun damage including freckles, age and pigment spots, and unsightly veins including broken blood vessels, facial veins and rosacea.
The second pass uses Icon’s “microbeam” laser technology which gently renews the skin by regenerating collagen and elastin which are key to our skin’s support structure. The result is an improvement in wrinkles, fine lines, scars and other surface imperfections.

FRACTIONAL LASER 1540 on the ICON platform
This treatment is quick, easy and delivers remarkable results.
How it works?
Laser skin resurfacing uses fractional microbeams to deliver columns of laser energy into the skin. The body’s natural healing process then creates healthy new tissue and increases collagen production, resulting in younger looking skin.
What can I expect?
Several treatments will likely be required to achieve the desired results. Treatment regimen can be adjusted to suit individual lifestyle
