What Is an Icon Photofacial?

The Icon Photofacial is a noninvasive treatment that uses intense pulsed light (IPL) technology to improve the appearance of your skin. IPL delivers a broad spectrum of light energy that targets specific pigments and blood vessels in the skin. This process helps to reduce the appearance of sun spots, age spots, freckles, rosacea, and other skin imperfections.

Benefits of an Icon Photofacial in El Dorado Hills, CA

Treats Rosacea

How Does an Icon Photofacial Work?

During an Icon Photofacial, a handheld device is used to deliver pulses of light energy to the targeted areas of your skin. The light energy is absorbed by the melanin in pigmented lesions and the hemoglobin in blood vessels, causing them to break down and be naturally absorbed by the body. This process reduces the appearance of sun spots, age spots, and redness.
