ICON Laser in Palm Springs, CA
Aging affects your skin in many ways, from sun damage, wrinkles, and fine lines to spider veins, dark spots, and acne scars, all of which can impact both your appearance and your confidence. The best results come from a safe, effective treatment that addresses multiple signs of aging at once. At Desert Aesthetics Institute, we use the advanced ICON Laser from Cynosure to help you achieve smoother, brighter, and glowing skin.
Laser Hair Removal
For patients who wish to forget about waxing, shaving, and other temporary hair removal methods, the ICON laser offers superior treatments for permanent hair reduction. This laser is safe for olive and tan skin types, making it an excellent option for a wide range of patients. Thanks to its larger spot size, the ICON is ideal for treating large areas such as the legs, back, chest, and arms in shorter sessions compared with other laser devices. The technology targets and destroys the hair cells responsible for growth without damaging the surrounding skin, leaving you with smooth, hair-free results that last.

Frequently Asked Questions
What areas can be treated with the ICON laser?
Treatment areas include the face, underarms, arms, legs, back, bikini area, chest, and more. The ICON’s versatility makes it suitable for both small, delicate areas and large treatment zones.
Does ICON laser treatment hurt?
Treatments are virtually painless and sensations vary from patient to patient. Most patients describe a range of feelings from mild tingling to a sensation similar to the snap of a rubber band.
How long do ICON laser treatments take?
Treatments can take anywhere from 5 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated. Larger areas naturally require slightly more time.
How many treatments will I need?
A series of three to six treatments is typically recommended for optimal results, though every patient is different. Our licensed provider will develop a customized treatment plan that is right for you.
Why are multiple treatments needed for hair removal?
Hair naturally grows in three different stages, and not all hair is in the same stage at once. Because each treatment only affects follicles in the active growth phase, multiple sessions are needed to effectively reduce unwanted hair.
What results can I expect from the ICON laser?
For hair removal, you can expect a gradual decrease in hair thickness and density, along with fewer ingrown hairs and less stubble. For photorejuvenation, you can expect a reduction in pigmentation, redness, and other visible signs of aging over your treatment series.
