Icon MaxG IPL color correction, the fastest, affordable way to even skin tone, w/out downtime!
One would think that all FDA-cleared laser treatment devices would deliver the same results, but that couldn't be farther from the truth! What device is your practitioner using? Is it a cheap off-label, low-energy output model, uncleared by the FDA? Has it been getting annual service maintenance performed to keep it running effectively? Is their device backed by scientific evidence, proven to be effective in the treatments it claims?
Every laser manufacturer makes their own version of our Palomar Icon by Cynosure with an intense pulsed light (IPL) handpiece for color correction in the epidermis. Some popular known name brand, trademarked names you may be familiar with but never knew it was IPL:
BBL from Sciton, Lumenis Light Sheer Stellar M22, Venus Versa, XLase Pulse CPL, Candela Sirius SWT, Alma Harmony Dye-VL....and the list goes on and on but they are not all of the same quality! Our Icon has had numerous Case studies and clinical data (cited below), proving it's treatment effectiveness
These lasers and handpieces must be maintained yearly, serviced by specialized engineers, to continue to work effectively, just like routine maintenance on your vehicle. Many practitioners don't want to spend the hefty bill for an annual service call, but continue to use their aging device that hasn't been maintained. With IPL, you'll still the flash of light, but it may not be outputting the joules needed or at the correct pulse duration to deliver results if the laser hasn't been properly cared for or a cheap off-brand device was purchased and uncleared by the FDA.
Our Palomar Icon multi-function lPL device is an industry-leading powerhouse and has had controlled studies performed and published with the NIH (National Institute of Health) using our Icon MaxG handpiece on rosacea, telangiectasia (blood vessels near the surface of the skin), and benign pigmented lesions (sun spots and age spots-hyperpigmentation within the epidermal layer, not melasma, which originates in the dermis). The MaxG showed significant improvements in skin tone, removing redness and pigment, including rosacea in the periorbital area compared to other intense pulsed light handpieces.

How it works: It clears vascular and pigmented lesions thanks to a dual-band filter that optimizes the absorption of hemoglobin and epidermal melanin while minimizing heating for comfortable treatments with minimal downtime.
What it Treats:
• Age spots
• Liver spots
• Freckles
• Acne
• Broken blood vessels
• Discoloration
• Scars
• Spider veins
• Redness from rosacea
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF INTENSE PULSED LIGHT THERAPY?
• IPL, also known as photo rejuvenation, combats the effects of aging by dissolving discolored cells deep in the dermis and generating new collagen production for stronger, more supple skin.
• IPL kills harmful bacteria that cause acne, reduces redness and inflammation, and gradually helps minimize scar tissue.
Acne vulgaris – occurs when hair follicles are blocked with dead skin cells, bacteria, and oil (sebum). The blocked follicles cause pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, and cysts. Several studies explored IPL as a treatment option for acne vulgaris or as an activator of PDT (photodynamic therapy). One study showed a significant reduction in the surface area of the sebaceous gland following IPL treatment. IPL also has anti‐inflammatory effects, with acne patients showing a reduction of both inflammatory and noninflammatory lesions
• Because intense pulsed light is absorbed by red blood cells, this treatment is effective for visible blood vessel abnormalities such as broken capillaries and spider veins.
• Treatment is quick, convenient, and well-tolerated.
• Regular photo facials can help prevent premature aging. IPL has a unique, rejuvenating effect on skin cells.
• IPL can be performed on the face, neck, upper chest, shoulders, arms, hands, and legs.
•MaxG IPL treatments can be combined with other nonsurgical treatments, such as our 1540nm fractional handpiece for Cynosure's Three For Me treatment, our ProCell MicroNeedling, Chemical Peels or Dermaplaning.
• IPL is powerful enough to treat skin layers to the dermis but gentle enough not to require downtime!
