Recovery and aftercare
Icon 1540 offers minimal downtime, with most patients able to return to their normal activities within a day or two. After the treatment, you may experience some redness and swelling in the treated areas, similar to a mild sunburn. This usually subsides within a few hours to a few days. Your skin may also feel slightly rough or dry as it heals and regenerates.
To optimize results and minimize any potential side effects, it’s important to follow the aftercare instructions provided by your skincare professional. This includes avoiding sun exposure, applying a high-SPF sunscreen, and using gentle skincare products to support the healing process. You can resume your regular skincare routine once the skin has fully healed.
Possible side effects
Icon 1540 is a safe and effective treatment with minimal risk of side effects. Common side effects include temporary redness, swelling, and a rough texture in the treated areas, all of which are part of the skin’s natural healing process. These side effects typically resolve within a few days to a week.
In rare cases, more serious side effects such as prolonged redness, blistering, or hyperpigmentation may occur, especially if the skin is not properly cared for after the treatment. It’s essential to adhere to the aftercare guidelines provided by your skincare professional to minimize the risk of complications and achieve the best possible results.
If you have a history of cold sores, the laser treatment may trigger an outbreak, so it’s advisable to take preventive medication before the procedure. Always communicate any concerns or pre-existing conditions with your practitioner to ensure a safe and successful treatment outcome.
