Icon Laser Vascular Treatment
Treat Vascular Issues with Advanced Laser Technology
Icon Laser Vascular Treatment is a non-invasive laser therapy designed to address rosacea, spider veins, broken capillaries, and vascular lesions. Using intense laser pulses, the treatment selectively targets blood vessels, breaking them down so the body can naturally absorb and eliminate them, potentially restoring clearer, more even-toned skin.
How Icon Laser Vascular Treatment Works
This treatment employs intense pulsed light (IPL) and fractional laser technology, delivering precise energy to the blood vessels beneath the skin without harming the surrounding tissue. The process occurs in the following steps:
- Light Energy Absorption: The laser emits controlled pulses of light that are absorbed by hemoglobin in the blood vessels.
- Vessel Breakdown: The absorbed light heats and collapses the targeted blood vessels, causing them to break apart.
Natural Clearance: Over time, the body’s lymphatic system clears the treated vessels, resulting in reduced redness and improved skin tone.
