What Is Icon Starlux 1540 XD?

The Icon Starlux 1540 XD is a non-ablative fractional laser designed to treat a variety of skin conditions, including scars (such as acne and surgical scars), stretch marks, fine lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation issues. It uses “Fractional Photothermolysis” to create an advanced form of non-ablative skin resurfacing with high efficacy and little downtime. The “1540” refers to the wavelength of the laser, which penetrates deep into the skin to stimulate collagen production without damaging the skin’s surface. Several treatments are necessary; redness lasts 1 to 2 days and there may be some slight roughness or peeling.

*Please note that results from this treatment may vary.

How It Works

The Palomar Lux1540 Fractional™ Laser Handpiece delivers light in an array of high-precision microbeams. These microbeams create narrow, deep columns of tissue coagulation that penetrate well below the epidermis and into the dermis while sparing the tissue surrounding the columns from damage.  This heating effect stimulates new collagen.
