Skin Renewal, Scar Removal, and Stretch Mark Treatment
How It Works
What to Expect on the Day of Treatment
Depending on the size of the area being treated, sessions typically take less than 30 minutes. First, you will be provided eye shields to protect yourself from the laser during treatment. The treatment will begin with the provider guiding the Icon™ handpiece over the treatment area – during this, the laser will be delivering energy into your skin.
Depending on the care option we select, you may feel mild to moderate discomfort. Post treatment instructions will be provided. You may also experience some redness and/or swelling a few days after at the treatment site but this typically resolves by the third day. Follow-up treatment sessions should be scheduled 3-6 weeks apart if needed.
If you are a laser skin renewal patient, please be aware of the following:
- Remove all make-up and lotions at treatment site prior to the treatment.
- At least 4 weeks prior to your appointment, discontinue unprotected sun exposure, tanning beds and tanning creams on the areas receiving treatment.
- Treatment may result in a reduction of hair growth. Avoid treatment in hair bearing areas if you do not wish to risk a reduction in hair there.
Post-Treatment Instructions for Skin Renewal
- Immediately after the treatment, redness, swelling and/or brown debris at surface of the skin is common and typically lasts 2-24 hours but could last up to 3- 5 days in some cases.
- In a small number of patients, initial treatment of the face may release hidden bacteria, oil and skin cells that were clogging your pores. This may result in temporary appearance of whiteheads while the skin clears and renews.
- Gentle cleansing and use of non-irritating cosmetics are permitted after treatment.
- Avoid sun exposure on the treated area and use a sunscreen SPF 45 or greater at all times throughout the course of treatment.
