Icon™ Laser & IPL Technology
The Icon™ system offers multiple handpieces including a 1064nm Nd:YAG laser and an IPL MaxG handpiece — allowing Dr. Recasens to select the optimal wavelength for each patient’s vascular concern. The light energy is selectively absorbed by oxyhemoglobin in blood vessels, causing them to collapse and be reabsorbed by the body, while skin surface is left intact. Most patients see significant reduction in redness and visible vessels within 1–3 treatments.
Rosacea & Vascular Treatment FAQs
Most rosacea patients see meaningful improvement after 1–3 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Chronic rosacea may require maintenance sessions 1–2 times per year.
Patients typically describe a mild snapping or warmth sensation during treatment. Most people tolerate it well without anesthesia. Mild redness after treatment typically resolves within a few hours.
Treated vessels are permanently destroyed. However, new vessels can form with continued sun exposure or untreated rosacea triggers. Proper skincare and sun protection help maintain results.
Icon has multiple settings that can be adjusted for a range of skin tones. Dr. Recasens will assess your skin at consultation to determine the safest and most effective parameters for you.
