ACNE & SURGICAL SCAR REMOVAL
Scars—whether caused by acne breakouts or surgery—can leave lasting marks that affect your confidence. Our ICON 1540 fractional laser is an advanced, non-invasive solution designed to safely and effectively improve the appearance of both acne scars and surgical scars.
The 1540 laser delivers precise microscopic beams of energy into the skin, stimulating new collagen and elastin production while resurfacing the scar tissue. This process softens and smooths uneven texture, reduces discoloration, and blends scars more naturally with the surrounding skin.
Unlike more aggressive procedures, the 1540 laser requires minimal downtime while delivering lasting improvements. With a series of treatments, scars become less noticeable, and your skin appears smoother, healthier, and more radiant.
How does the 1540 laser help with scars?
The ICON 1540 fractional laser delivers microscopic beams of energy into the skin, breaking up scar tissue and stimulating new collagen and elastin production. This helps smooth uneven texture and blend scars more naturally into surrounding skin.
What types of scars can be treated?
The 1540 laser is FDA-cleared to treat acne scars and surgical scars, but it can also improve traumatic scars and other textural irregularities.
How many treatments will I need?
Most clients see improvement after just one session, but a series of 3–5 treatments, spaced 4–6 weeks apart, is typically recommended for optimal results.
Is there downtime?
Downtime is minimal. You may experience some redness, swelling, or a sunburn-like sensation for 1–3 days. Most clients resume normal activities right away.
When will I see results?
Collagen remodeling takes time. Many clients notice smoother skin and lighter scars within a few weeks, with continued improvement for several months after each treatment.
Does it hurt?
Discomfort is minimal. A topical numbing cream is usually applied beforehand to keep you comfortable during the session.
Who is a good candidate?
The 1540 laser is safe for most skin types and tones. During consultation, your provider will assess your scar type and overall skin health to determine the best treatment plan.
