As an alternative to facial surgery or dermal fillers, Philadelphia oculoplastic surgeon Dr. John Lee also has added the Palomar Icon system to our practice. The Palomar Icon combines a fractional laser and intense pulsed light (IPL) technology and delivers a wide variety of non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatments: fractional skin resurfacing, wrinkle reduction, hair removal, acne and scar improvement, IPL photo rejuvenation, and treatment of vascular and pigmentation problems. Plus, the Palomar Icon system has a built-in Skintel Melanin Reader, which accurately assesses melanin density so that the appropriate level of laser energy can be applied, ensuring patient comfort and minimizing possible skin damage.
Dr. Lee is thrilled to have the Palomar Icon as a part of his team. It is the ultimate multi-tasker in skin rejuvenation and hair removal. Here are the treatments we perform with the Palomor Icon:
The variety of treatment options with the Palomar Icon system also allows us to offer ThreeForMe treatments. By combining two handpieces, the Palomar Icon can address wrinkles, sun damage, and facial veins all in one treatment session.
The results delivered, of course, are contingent upon which of the myriad Palomar Icon treatments you’re having. Generally, within two to three weeks of the first treatment the skin will look and feel smoother and skin tone will be more even. This continues to improve as the body builds new collagen in response to fractional laser treatments. Dark spots, pigmentation issues, fine lines, and overly large pores tend to improve the most with three or more consecutive treatments.
Dr. Lee decided on the Palomar Icon system not only because of the variety of treatments it provides, but also for its innovation. These are the patented systems of the Icon:
