Icon Laser Scar Removal
Reduce Scars with Advanced Laser Technology
Icon Laser Scar Removal is a non-invasive treatment designed to reduce the appearance of scars, including acne scars, surgical scars, and trauma-induced scars. Using advanced fractional laser technology, this treatment stimulates the body’s natural healing response, promoting the production of new collagen and elastin to restore smoother skin texture.
How Icon Laser Scar Removal Works
The Icon Laser system uses fractional laser energy to penetrate the skin’s surface, targeting scar tissue and encouraging skin renewal. The process works in the following phases:
- Light Absorption: The laser energy is absorbed by the scarred tissue, breaking it down.
- Stimulation of Collagen & Elastin: The heat generated by the laser stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin, helping to restructure and soften the scar.
- Cellular Regeneration: Over time, the treated skin regenerates, improving overall texture, tone, and smoothness.
- Progressive Improvement: Results continue to enhance over several months as the skin naturally repairs itself.
