Laser Treatments

ICON Fractional 1540

Fractional laser skin resurfacing is used to treat a number of skin conditions with minimal downtime.

This laser can penetrate deeply enough to stimulate the collagen but not damage the skin surface. It delivers light to the skin through an array of high precision microbeams that penetrate into the dermis. Since the Icon 1540 delivers fractionated light, the treatments are safer to use on all skin types and produce consistent results.

Icon™ is designed to treat surgical and acne scars on any area of the body, including the face. It is also effective in treating stretch marks, wrinkles and pigmentation. You can expect to see an improved appearance of your skin tone and texture over the first 6 weeks after your treatment.

Fractional resurfacing with the Icon 1540 is much less invasive compared to ablative laser procedures such at CO2, resulting in a faster recovery time. Most patients experience minimal downtime, with some mild redness and swelling for a couple of days. Aftercare is simple and consists of moisturisers and sun protection (SPF).

ICON Fractional 1540 FAQs

Most people feel mild discomfort during the treatment but speak to your provider regarding pain management options.

Generally 4-6 sessions are recommended for best results. These can be performed every 4-8 weeks.

Prior treatment instructions

Before attending a laser renewal appointment at our Killarney clinic, please be aware of the following:

Remove all make-up and lotions at treatment site prior to the treatment
At least 4 weeks prior to your appointment, discontinue unprotected sun exposure, tanning beds and tanning creams on the areas receiving treatment

Contraindication

There may be cases in which ICON Fractional 1540 may not be recommended. These include, but aren't limited to:

Pregnant epilepsy
Photo-allergy
Medications that cause light sensitivity
Steroids or cortison injections

Downtime after Fractional Laser Treatment

Typically, you can resume regular daily activities the same day as your treatment.

If a more aggressive treatment if performed you may require a couple days of healing. Immediately after the treatment, redness, swelling and/or brown debris at surface of the skin is common and typically lasts 2-24 hours but could last up to 3-5 days in some cases.

Gentle cleansing and use of non-irritating cosmetics are permitted after treatment.

Avoid sun exposure on the treated area and use a sunscreen SPF 45 or greater at all times throughout the course of treatment.

Having always cared for my skin and had regular facials, I was astounded by the difference after even one facial.. my skin is exceptional since and the compliments are flowing! I would recommend without hesitation

Michael O'Sullivan

Highly recommend the Skin Lab. My skin is glowing! I always get great recommendations on what products I need. The girls are extremely knowledgeable and passionate about their work. They just recommend what I need and never over sell.

Brenda Carmody

I cannot recommend The Skin Lab enough...I had the resurfacing laser treatment and I am thrilled with the results. I found Claire to be so professional and experienced in her field of expertise....the girl has healing hands people!!! She also recommended some homecare products which were extremely effective in treating my particular skin concern. Couldn't be happier, I would highly recommend a visit. Thanks again The Skin Lab.

Ciara Murphy

Lovely staff members at the reputable skin lab in Kerry, makes you feel very comfortable from start to finish and are very helpful and knowledgeable about the treatment they provide. All areas are very clean and tidy.

Moira Godley

While working with Claire I found that she showed great professionalism and was able to carry out treatment with diligence. She also knew exactly what products I should use to go with her treatment in order to clear up my acne (and was very open to questions with regards to those products) which had noticeably cleared within a few weeks after treatment and use of the products she recommended.

James Carmody

Super recommend it! ... Claire is really kind and an excellent professional! The place is comfortable and they have a specific treatments for you. By the way, the product that they have in there, are amazing!

Débora Estevão

My skin is glowing since I started visiting the Skin Lab and using all recommended products.

Denise Uí Bheaglaoi

I have been going to Claire since she opened 3 years ago for my skin. She is always so welcoming, friendly and beyond professional. There is nothing that Claire doesn't know when it comes to skin. I wouldn't trust any one or any where else with my skin. Highly recommend The Skin Lab, Claire and Shauna to anyone who wants to invest in their skin.

Sarah

Had a skin consultation with Claire last week and found it extremely helpful. She set out a clear skin routine for me and was very reasonable when it came to choosing products. Claire was very efficient and organised and had my products sent out to me within an hour of the consultation. I would highly recommend the skin lab to people.

Roisin Begley

I highly recommend the Skin Lab! During my consultation, Claire explained to me very clearly what was going on with my skin, and importantly how I could remedy. Within one month of following her instructions my skin transformed, and it really has never looked (or felt) better. Claire is an expert and I really trust her advice and care!

Sophie Daly

If there were 6 stars The Skin Lab would get it.
I had been going to Claire for 10 months pre lockdown and my skin hadn't looked so good since my early 20s. I really didn't want to let all of our hard work in clinic go to waste so Claire has been working with me prescribing the most effective at home skin peels. They really are the nearest thing you will get to treatment in the clinic. I really can't wait for the clinic to open up again and hope up on that bed! If you are looking for a results-driven friendly & professional clinic then I highly recommend The Skin Lab.

Sue-Ellen Carroll

I've been going to The Skin Lab for 3 years having suffered with Adult Acne for 8 years. I've been to many Aestheticians and Dermatologists but none have come close to The Skin Lab. The level of knowledge both Claire and Shauna have is unbelievable and they genuinely want you to see results so they will not let you buy or try a treatment they know won't work for your issue. I can't recommend them highly enough.
