What is Laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal with the Cynosure® Icon™ system is an advanced and effective way to stop hair growth and dramatically reduce the amount of hair that regrows. The intense pulse light penetrates the skin and heats only the hair follicle, leaving the surrounding skin unaffected. It damages the follicle and helps slow or prevent regrowth.

TREATMENT STEP BY STEP
PRE TREATMENT
During a hair removal consultation, an expert clinician will review your medical records and will evaluate your hair and skin condition to determine if you are a candidate for the treatment. Then, based on your needs and your busy life, a personalized treatment plan is developed. The hair removal specialist recommends the number of sessions and the intervals between sessions based on the treatment area and your hair/skin type. They will also recommend the timeline of the treatment plan, and is able to provide you with your treatment cost. Before committing to a package, your dedicated practitioner might perform a test patch to ensure hair removal is right for you.
DURING YOUR TREATMENT
Before your first treatment session starts, expect your clinician to use the Skintel® Melanin Reader™ to determine safe and effective treatment settings persoanalized to your skin and hair type. During your session, your aesthetic specialist moves the Icon intense pulsed light (IPL) handheld device over your targeted area. You will feel cooling on the skin as the provider guides the handpiece over the treatment area. Our laser technology incorporates advanced contact cooling, which maximizes your comfort during treatment, making it an extremly tolerable experience.
POST TREATMENT
You will not shed hairs immediately, Instead, it takes them over a period of days to weeks to fall out. You may notice patchy areas as well. Following the treatment, most people experience a mild, sun-burn like sensation, possibly accompanied by some minor swelling. This usually lasts 2 to 24 hours. You may apply ice to the treated area to reduce any mild discomfort. It is important to use a broad-spectrum SPF30 sunscreen and avoid sunlight for four to six weeks after hair removal and between scheduled treatments. Your hair removal specialist will provide detailed aftercare advice for you to refer to and follow.

Hair removal with the Cynosure® Icon™ system is an advanced and effective way to stop hair growth and dramatically reduce the amount of hair that regrows. The intense pulse light penetrates the skin and heats only the hair follicle, leaving the surrounding skin unaffected. It damages the follicle and helps slow or prevent regrowth.
Each beam of light energy reaches deep down your hair shaft, into the follicle. Pigments in the hair follicle quickly heat up as they absorb the light. This effect instantly destroys the hair and stops the hair from growing any further. Treated hairs may fall out during hair removal. But in most cases, it just takes time for treated hair to wiggle its way out. Once that hair sheds, new hair grows back, although it’s much finer than ever before. With each hair removal treatment you have, hair continues coming back lighter and thinner until it stops growing entirely. 3D Medical Aesthetics is proud to offer Icon IPL hair removal treatments for nearly all areas of your body. Some of the top-requested hair removal areas include: Bikini area, Underarms, Legs, Chest, Arms, Face, and Neck. Because 3D Medical Aesthetics uses the latest IPL system available, the Icon, you might be a candidate for hair removal even if you weren’t in the past. Hair removal treatments can reduce hair even if you have: tanned skin. lighter hair, darker skin, or finer hair.
Typically, there is no downtime and you can return to your daily activities immediately following the procedure.
Since our hair grows in cycles, multiple treatments are often recommended for desired results. Other factors that influence this include hair color, texture and area being treated.
Although laser hair removal effectively delays hair growth for long periods, it usually doesn’t result in permanent hair removal. For example, due to hormonal changes women may experience regrowth of facial hair, most commonly chin and upper lip areas. Therefore, your expert clinician may recommend periodic maintenance (touch-up) treatments.
