Icon in Newark

Icon™ offers a state-of-the-art solution for individuals seeking to improve the appearance of fine lines, scars, stretch marks, discoloration, and uneven skin texture. Under the expert care of double board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Lawrence Chang and his highly trained cosmetic team at Advanced Plastic Surgery Center in Newark, DE, Icon™ is used to help patients achieve smoother, more radiant skin with minimal downtime.

How Does Icon™ Work?

The Icon™ laser treatment utilizes concentrated beams of light (lasers) to rejuvenate the skin by targeting imperfections at their source. A key component of the treatment, the 1540 fractional laser, creates micro-injuries in the skin, prompting the body’s natural healing response.

This process gradually improves skin texture, elasticity, and tone while reducing the appearance of scars and other blemishes. The controlled laser energy also breaks up areas of hyperpigmentation, leading to a more even skin tone.

Is Icon™ Right For Me?

Ideal candidates for Icon™ laser therapy are those with mild to moderate skin aging, discoloration, scars, or sun damage and who are free of active infections or other contraindications. Patients must also have realistic expectations and be committed to following post-treatment care instructions to maximize their outcome. During your consultation, we will examine your skin concerns and medical history to determine if the Icon™ laser is the best choice for your treatment plan.

The Procedure

During an Icon™ laser session, the patient’s skin is first cleansed to ensure a safe and effective procedure. A topical numbing agent may be applied for your comfort. The laser is then carefully guided over the treatment area, delivering targeted energy to stimulate collagen production and promote skin renewal. Depending on the size of the treatment area, the procedure typically lasts between 30 to 60 minutes.

After Your Session

Following an Icon™ laser procedure, you may experience mild redness and swelling, similar to a minor sunburn. These effects generally subside after a few days of recovery. Most patients can resume their normal activities shortly after treatment, but avoiding direct sun exposure and using a high-quality sunscreen is recommended.

As the skin heals, improvements become more noticeable, with optimal results appearing over the following weeks. Depending on individual concerns, multiple sessions may be recommended to achieve the best outcome.

Icon™ FAQs

Most patients report minimal discomfort, often comparing it to a mild snapping sensation on the skin. A numbing agent is typically applied beforehand to enhance comfort during the procedure.
Results are long-lasting (especially with good skincare and sun protection), but natural aging and environmental factors can affect the skin over time. Many patients choose to schedule maintenance treatments to prolong their results.
