What is 1540 Fractional Laser?

The Palomar Icon 1540 handpiece delivers controlled non-ablative fractional energy into the dermis in microscopic columns. These microthermal zones stimulate collagen production while leaving surrounding tissue intact.

This allows for gradual skin tightening, texture refinement, scar improvement, fine line reduction, and pore softening because the surface layer remains largely intact, recovery is significantly shorter with resurfacing lasers.

The 1540 fractional laser is commonly used for:

Acne scars

Fine lines

Enlarged pores

Crepey texture

Mild skin laxity

Early aging changes

Surgical scars
