Non-Ablative 1540 Fraxel by Palomar Icon
The Non-Ablative 1540 Fraxel by Palomar Icon is a revolutionary laser treatment designed to improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines and scars, and address other signs of aging and sun damage. Unlike ablative lasers that remove layers of skin, the non-ablative 1540 Fraxel stimulates the skin’s natural healing process without causing significant damage to the outer layer. This makes it an ideal choice for those seeking noticeable skin rejuvenation with minimal downtime.
How the Non-Ablative 1540 Fraxel Works:
The 1540 Fraxel laser delivers focused beams of light to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This non-ablative laser targets deeper layers of the skin, heating the tissue to stimulate collagen production without vaporizing the surface layer. These micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural repair response, promoting the growth of new, healthy skin cells while leaving the outer layer of skin intact.
Because the laser only targets specific microscopic zones (fractional treatment), the surrounding tissue remains untouched, allowing for faster healing. The result is smoother, firmer, and more even-toned skin over time.
What the 1540 Fraxel by Palomar Icon Treats:
• Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Reduces the appearance of crow’s feet, forehead lines, and fine lines around the mouth.
• Acne Scars and Surgical Scars: Effective in minimizing the depth and texture of scars, particularly acne scars.
• Hyperpigmentation: Fades areas of uneven pigmentation, including sunspots, age spots, and melasma.
• Stretch Marks: Improves the texture and appearance of stretch marks, particularly those that are newer or lighter in color.
• Sun Damage: Helps repair skin that has been damaged by UV exposure.
• Skin Texture: Improves overall texture and tone by boosting collagen and skin cell turnover.
Benefits of Non-Ablative 1540 Fraxel:
• Minimal Downtime: Since the outer layer of the skin remains intact, recovery time is minimal compared to ablative treatments. Patients can often return to daily activities within a day or two.
• Safe for Most Skin Types: The 1540 Fraxel is considered safe for a wide range of skin types and tones, making it more versatile than some other laser treatments.
• No Surface Damage: The non-ablative nature of the treatment means that the skin’s surface is not physically removed or burned, reducing the risk of infections or complications.
• Collagen Stimulation: By stimulating collagen production deep within the skin, the treatment provides gradual, long-lasting improvements in skin firmness and elasticity.
What to Expect During Treatment:
1. Consultation: During the initial consultation, your provider will assess your skin type and concerns to determine if the 1540 Fraxel is the right treatment for you. A personalized treatment plan will be created based on your skin’s needs.
2. Preparation: The skin will be cleansed, and a topical numbing cream may be applied to minimize discomfort. Patients wear protective eyewear to shield their eyes from the laser light.
3. Treatment Process: The laser handpiece is passed over the treatment area, delivering focused beams of light to targeted areas. You may feel a warm sensation or a slight prickling during the procedure, but most patients find it tolerable due to the numbing cream.
4. Duration: Treatment times vary depending on the size of the area being treated but typically range from 30 minutes to an hour.
Downtime and Recovery:
• Mild Redness and Swelling: Post-treatment, the skin may appear slightly red or swollen, similar to a mild sunburn. These side effects typically resolve within 24 to 48 hours.
• No Peeling or Crusting: Unlike ablative lasers, the 1540 Fraxel does not cause peeling or crusting, making recovery much more comfortable.
• Sun Sensitivity: Your skin will be more sensitive to sunlight after the procedure, so it’s important to avoid direct sun exposure and use broad-spectrum sunscreen regularly.
• Return to Normal Activities: Most patients can return to their normal routine within 1-2 days, making it a convenient treatment for those with busy schedules.

Number of Sessions Needed:
For optimal results, a series of treatments is recommended. Most patients require 3 to 5 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, depending on the severity of their skin concerns. Because the treatment stimulates collagen production over time, results continue to improve for several months following the final session.

Who Is a Good Candidate for 1540 Fraxel?
• People with Mild to Moderate Skin Aging: The 1540 Fraxel is perfect for those who have early signs of aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and minor sun damage.
• Individuals with Scarring: This treatment is highly effective for individuals looking to reduce the appearance of acne scars, surgical scars, or stretch marks.
• All Skin Types: Since it’s non-ablative, the treatment is safe for a wide range of skin types and tones, including darker skin types, which may not be suited for other types of lasers.
• People Looking for Minimal Downtime: If you want the benefits of laser skin resurfacing without the downtime associated with ablative lasers, the 1540 Fraxel is an excellent option.
Who Should Avoid 1540 Fraxel?
• People with Active Infections: If you have an active skin infection, cold sores, or open wounds in the treatment area, you should wait until your skin has healed before undergoing the procedure.
• Pregnant or Breastfeeding Women: While the treatment is generally safe, it is recommended to avoid laser procedures during pregnancy or breastfeeding as a precaution.
