We can use the Icon Laser on spider and reticular veins on your legs in as little as a 30-minute session. You may need a series of treatments to get the best results to appear. Your veins will change in appearance and color before they are eliminated (in about 10 – 14 days).

Repeat sessions may be necessary every 3 – 4 weeks if it is a more difficult area to treat.

The Icon uses optimized light technology to target and destroy the underlying causes of common aesthetic concerns on the skin, such as:

• Brown spots

• Stretch marks
• Rosacea

As there are many different purposes for the Icon laser, your experience will be personalized for your aesthetic plan. Before receiving this treatment, we ask that you put on a pair of provided safety goggles to protect your eyes. Keep in mind that the laser will also feel warm on your skin. Please let us know if you are sensitive to this sensation. We want you to have a relaxing experience and may provide you with a cool roller, cold air, or ice packs to help with any discomfort.

For the face and body: We ask that you remove all make-up and lotions prior to your Icon laser treatments. We will then apply a cooling gel to your treatment area(s) as the heat from the laser may cause discomfort. The handpiece will be smoothly passed over your skin. This treatment is very quick. Your appointment will only take longer if you have multiple areas or large sections to treat. You may leave our office feeling like you have a sunburn on your skin. It is very important to protect your skin with a sunscreen of SPF 45 or greater and avoid the sun.

For the legs: Your skin will be cleansed before treatment. We will apply a cooling gel to area of your leg being treated. Using the hand-held device, your provider will move the handpiece over your skin and follow the length of the vein.

You may experience redness and/or swelling with laser treatments and it usually resolves in 2 – 3 days. We will discuss any other possible side effects and the necessary post-treatment care with you during the consultation.
