The 1540 Fractional Laser is an advanced resurfacing treatment that rebuilds collagen to improve the look and feel of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, stretch marks and surgical scars. Some refer to fractional as the laser equivalent of microneedling, in the way it creates microbeam channels in order to heal and rejuvenate the skin!
Available for face & body!
If you have fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, surgical scars, and are looking for an effective laser treatment, you may be a good candidate for the Icon 1540 Fractional Laser. It works on all skin types, almost anywhere on the body!
Most skin tones can be treated with the Icon’s fractional laser, paired Skintel™, the industry’s only live melanin reader, we safely and accurately measure your skins levels in order to provide the most accurate and effective treatment possible.
Depending on your skin goals and the depth of your concerns, clients can benefit from just their first treatment; however, during the consultation, your Level technician will discuss treatment expectations with you.
Treatments can be done 4-6 weeks apart to allow for optimal healing and collagen production, while other superficial skin therapies can be performed in-between sessions 2 weeks pre or post your Fractional treatment.
If you use retinols, please discontinue use 1 week prior to your appointment. Please refrain from tanning prior to your treatment, we may not be able to perform your treatment on tanned skin. Everyone’s skin is so unique, so if there are any concerns specific to you, book a consultation to talk to one of us in depth about your treatment plan.
Different parts of the body be timed differently – but if you’ve booked in for your face, we tell clients that they’ll be in the spa for about an hour.
Fractional laser uses light energy to create its micro-beam channels, so you will feel some warmth during the treatment as the applicator is against your skin during pulses. We always keep the clients comfort in mind and use a cooling Phyto mask after the treatment to comfort, hydrate and prep the skin for optimal healing.
All changes to the skin are technically permanent, however we cannot stop the changes that happen to the skin over time from medications, lifestyle, at home skincare and other factors like aging.
You may have some mild warmth and some minor irritation to your skin, but once that goes away, most clients resume regular activities within 12-24 hours. Every client will have a different outcome, so some may experience warmth for longer periods.

Your Level technician will walk you through your full aftercare routine, as well as provide you with an aftercare kit to use during those vital first few days after treatment. Refrain from sun exposure, as any laser can make your skin more sensitive to light and interrupt the healing process and possibly cause hyperpigmentation during this vital time.
Your skin may be warm and a little tender post treatment, we recommend letting the skin heal the first night with no makeup on. The following day, makeup is okay to apply. After fractional, your texture may feel temporarily more rough during the initial healing phase, so makeup may sit differently.
