Icon MaxG Sydney

Icon MaxG, an advanced light-based treatment designed to address various skin concerns, including pigmentation, vascular lesions, and sun damage.

The ICON MaxG uses optimised pulsed light (OPL) technology to target and treat a wide range of skin issues by delivering precise light energy to the affected areas. This non-invasive treatment is highly effective for reducing the appearance of redness, rosacea, broken capillaries, age spots, and other pigmentation issues. The light energy penetrates the skin, targeting the pigment and blood vessels, which are then naturally cleared by the body, resulting in a more even skin tone.

Unlike traditional laser treatments, Icon MaxG is versatile and gentle, making it suitable for all skin types. The treatment is quick, comfortable, and requires little to no downtime, making it an ideal solution for those looking to rejuvenate their skin with minimal disruption to their daily routine.
ICON MaxG treatments take between 15 to 45 minutes. Downtime is minimal.

Suitable candidate for treatment

Icon MaxG is ideal for individuals seeking to improve the appearance of their skin by reducing pigmentation, redness, and other vascular or pigmented lesions. Suitable candidates include those with concerns such as sun damage, age spots, freckles, rosacea, and facial veins. The treatment is also effective for individuals looking to achieve a more even skin tone and reduce the appearance of discoloration.

This treatment is safe for a variety of skin types, but a thorough consultation is necessary to ensure it is appropriate for your specific needs. Individuals with darker skin tones or certain medical conditions may require special consideration, and those with active skin infections, open wounds, or a recent tan should avoid Icon MaxG treatment until these issues are resolved.

The Icon MaxG Treatment

The Icon MaxG treatment begins with a detailed consultation to assess your skin and identify the areas to be treated. During the procedure, the Icon MaxG handpiece is applied to the skin, delivering optimized pulsed light to the targeted areas. The light energy is absorbed by the pigmented or vascular lesions, causing them to break down and be naturally eliminated by the body.

The treatment is typically well-tolerated, with most patients experiencing a mild snapping or warming sensation as the light pulses are delivered. Depending on the size and number of areas being treated, the session can last between 15 to 45 minutes. The treatment requires no anesthesia, and patients can return to their normal activities immediately afterward.

Results are usually visible within a few weeks as the treated pigment or blood vessels are cleared by the body. For optimal results, a series of treatments may be recommended, spaced several weeks apart.

Recovery and aftercare

Icon MaxG is a non-invasive treatment with minimal downtime. After the procedure, you may experience some redness, swelling, or a slight darkening of the treated areas, similar to a mild sunburn. These effects are usually temporary and subside within a few hours to a few days.

To enhance recovery and results, it’s important to follow the aftercare instructions provided by your skincare professional. This includes avoiding direct sun exposure, applying a high-SPF sunscreen, and using gentle skincare products. You can resume your regular skincare routine once the skin has fully healed, which typically occurs within a week.

Possible side effects

Icon MaxG is a safe and effective treatment, but as with any cosmetic procedure, there are potential side effects to be aware of. Common side effects include temporary redness, swelling, and a darkening of the treated pigmented areas, all of which are part of the skin’s natural healing process. These effects usually resolve within a few days.

In rare cases, more serious side effects such as blistering, scarring, or changes in skin pigmentation may occur, particularly if aftercare instructions are not followed. It’s essential to communicate with your skincare professional about any concerns or pre-existing conditions to minimize the risk of complications.

If you have a history of cold sores, Icon MaxG may trigger an outbreak, so preventive medication may be recommended before the treatment. A thorough consultation will help determine any potential risks and ensure that Icon MaxG is the right treatment for your skin concerns.

ICON MaxG is an advanced light-based treatment that targets and reduces various skin imperfections, including sun damage, age spots, rosacea, broken capillaries, and other pigmentation issues. It uses optimised light technology to improve skin tone and texture.

ICON MaxG works by emitting pulses of light that are absorbed by the pigments in the skin, such as melanin and hemoglobin. This light energy heats the targeted areas, causing the pigment to break down and be naturally absorbed by the body, resulting in clearer, more even-toned skin.

ICON MaxG can effectively treat a variety of skin concerns, including sun spots, age spots, freckles, rosacea, spider veins, broken capillaries, and redness. It can also improve overall skin tone and texture.

ICON MaxG can be used on multiple areas of the body, including the face, neck, chest, arms, and hands. It is particularly effective for treating areas with visible sun damage or pigmentation issues.

During an ICON MaxG treatment, a handheld device is used to deliver pulses of light to the targeted areas. Patients may feel a mild snapping sensation similar to a rubber band being lightly snapped against the skin. The procedure typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area.

Common side effects of ICON MaxG include mild redness, swelling, and a temporary darkening of pigmented spots. These effects usually subside within a few hours to a few days. In rare cases, blistering, scarring, or changes in skin pigmentation may occur.

Preparation for an ICON MaxG treatment includes avoiding sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanning products for at least two weeks before the procedure. It’s also recommended to avoid certain skincare products, such as retinoids and exfoliants, for a few days before treatment.

After an ICON MaxG treatment, the treated area may be red and slightly swollen, similar to a mild sunburn. These effects typically subside within a few hours to a few days. It’s important to avoid direct sun exposure and wear sunscreen to protect the treated skin.

Results from ICON MaxG treatment can be seen within a few days to a week after the procedure, with continued improvement over several weeks as the treated areas heal and the pigmentation fades. Multiple sessions may be needed for optimal results, depending on the severity of the skin condition.

The cost of ICON MaxG treatment varies depending on the size of the area being treated and the number of sessions required. On average, the cost can range from $300 to $800 per session. It is best to book a consultation with us for a personalised cost estimate based on your specific treatment plan.
