Laser hair removal by Icon
Icon uses advanced laser technology to destroy the protein cells at the root of your hair follicles. This stops hair growth. Because Icon offers highly targeted treatment, your surrounding skin and tissues aren’t harmed. Everyone’s needs are different, but most patients receive 6-8 treatments.
Most people have results that last. You may, however, have some regrowth. This can happen for a number of reasons, such as changes in your hormone levels. Typically, this hair is lighter and thinner, making it easy to get rid of with a quick touch-up Icon treatment.
And since Icon is so safe, you can pick and choose the areas to treat, including your:
- Face
- Underarms
- Arms and legs
- Back
- Bikini area
- Chest and shoulders
Most people easily tolerate Icon laser hair removal sessions and describe the procedure as fairly painless. However, everyone has different levels of tolerance and sensitivity. During the procedure, you may experience tingling or a sensation like a rubber band snapping against your skin.
The many benefits of laser hair removal
The top benefit of laser hair removal is the time you save and the hassles you avoid by not having to shave, tweeze, pluck, or wax away unwanted hairs. If that’s not convincing enough, here are some of the many other benefits of laser hair removal:
- Eliminates and prevents ingrown hairs
- Long-term solution, saving you money
- Leaves your skin soft and silky
- No scarring or painful side effects
- No need to avoid shaving between sessions
- Suitable for almost every area of your body
- Precise technology means targeted treatments in small areas (e.g., eyebrows, upper lip)
Another benefit of Icon laser hair removal is how quick and easy treatment sessions are. While the duration and number of treatments you need vary — depending on the area of your body being treated, the amount of hair, and the color of your skin and hair — most sessions only take minutes. Even large areas, like the chest or back, can usually fit into your lunch hour. And during our session, you’re able to relax, listen to music, read, or simply lie back and rest your eyes.
