Launched in Australia seven years ago, The Icon Aesthetic System is still one of Cynosure’s most popular light-based platforms around the country as it can effectively treat three of the most common asked-for indications – sun damage, facial veins and fine line and wrinkles – in the same session.

In addition to the obviously popular ‘Three for me’ treatment, the Icon also offers separate treatments for skin resurfacing, wrinkle reduction, scar and stretch mark reduction, hair removal and leg vein clearance.

The Icon has redefined the standard of light-based cosmetic skin care and is now renowned for providing fast treatments with excellent outcomes and user experience.

The portable platform, which features an intuitive user interface and integrated patient database, can be easily adapted to meet individual salon/clinic needs with interchangeable hand pieces:

MaxG – Vessel, vascular lesions and pigment clearance that goes beyond single-wavelength lasers.

MaxR and MaxRS – Laser hair removal on all skin types, from the fairest to the darkest, with “a large spot size” to allow for fast coverage of large areas like the back, legs, and chest.

1540 Fractional Laser – Fractional, non-ablative laser for skin resurfacing and treatment of surgical scars, acne scars, stretch marks and melasma.

1064+ YAG Laser – Permanently reduces unwanted hair in difficult-to-treat areas on skin types up to V and VI, and more comfortably clears a variety of leg vessels, from the smaller red vessels to the larger blue reticular leg veins.

MaxYs – Laser hair removal for resistant areas of finer, lighter hair as well as darker pigmented lesions with a smaller spot size suited for targeted or difficult areas.

2940 Fractional Laser – Sophisticated, single-treatment fractional ablative laser handpiece for wrinkles and textural irregularities.

In addition, the Icon boasts numerous patented innovations that ensure “clients can experience a comfortable, no-downtime treatment on their way to a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance” including:

  • The Skintel Melanin Reader: A revolutionary device that provides an additional element of treatment confidence by determining the average melanin density of skin, in a quantitative manner, prior to treatment.
  • Power: Delivering a maximum effective energy of over 350 joules, the Icon is the most powerful laser and optimised light aesthetic platform.
  • Advanced Contact Cooling: Cooling maintains the temperature at 5ºC during treatments for enhanced comfort and skin protection.
  • Hexagonal XF Microlens: High-speed, non-ablative fractional resurfacing with increased surface coverage typically allows for a full face, one-pass treatment in under 15 minutes.
  • Intuitive User Interface: Enhanced user interface features new treatment tracking technology for more streamlined procedures.
  • Calibration: New external calibration for optimal pulsed light performance.
  • AccuSpectrum: Dual filters minimise unnecessary epidermal exposure, enhancing client comfort.
  • Photon Recycling: Maximises treatment results by reducing energy loss.
  • Smooth Pulse: Proprietary light delivery system that allows for the usage of greater amounts of energy.
