Max G OPL

Technology has harnessed light waves for healing.

While the wrong type of light (think UV) is destructive and capable of being skin’s worst ageing enemy; another type of light offers restoration.

Meet the capable and impressive ICON Max G from skin technology experts Palomar. This OPL hand-held device packs a powerful anti-ageing punch. Its rejuvenating light poises it well to be your skin’s new best friend.

It is an ideal choice for several skin conditions and is suitable to put the Glow back into skin negatively suffering from the cold, dry, highveld winter.

Let the correct light win

Each light technology is geared to target different skin layers and concerns. When the correct controlled light therapy is chosen to target a specific indication, it can be an amazing skin ally.

Palomar Icon Max G technology is based on Optimized Pulsed Light (OPL). This is different from standard laser light and a step ahead of IPL. Rather than implementing a standard wavelength (like laser) this advanced technology utilizes the optimal ones for the specific skin issue or flaw being treated.

What makes the ICON Max G Special?

The ICON Max G delivers dual bands of optimal wavelengths in order to increase the concentration of light exactly where it is required. Pulses of near infra-red light are ICON Max G treatments’ “active ingredient”.

The ICON Max G’s proprietary Dynamic Spectrum Shifting – provides longer-pulse widths for uniform heat distribution. The heat then breaks down the pigment cells and vascular lesions that make-up skin irregularities thus allowing them to be reabsorbed and cleared from the tissue.

In comparison to non-optimized pulsed light the ICON Max G provides:

• Heightened energy, spread effectively over all pulse lengths
• Higher power for micro blood vessel treatment
• Better range for targeting mid- and large- sized blood vessels which lie deeper in dermal layers.

ICON Max G is a treatment of choice for these conditions

Photo-Rejuvenation

Symptoms: Large areas of altered pigmentation on the skin. Freckles as well as individualized skin lesions known as ‘sun-spots’ which may be red or brown in colour. Fine lines and wrinkles.

Results: Spots will darken before fading and being eliminated as the excess melanin is reabsorbed within skin. Skin tone and texture will improve in the weeks following treatment.

Rosacea

Symptoms: Redness and inflammation on cheeks and face.

Results: Visible swelling and redness will decrease around 1 week following treatment.

Vessel Treatments

Symptoms: Visible veins in varying lengths and widths which may be red, blue, or purplish in colour.

Results: Immediate disappearance of visible veins after treatment is one potential result. The other, is that veins darken before fading completely or getting lighter within ten to fourteen days after treatment.

Other Benefits of ICON Max G Treatment include

Improved general skin tone and a restored Glow as a result of the light treatments stimulating Collagen and Elastin production within the dermal cellular matrix.

Common Treatment areas include

The ICON Max G is ideal for photo-facials that cover the whole face as well as distinct focus areas such as:

• Chest
• Hands

Treatment Experience

Recovery Protocol

Regular activities can be resumed immediately with no downtime required. Slight redness or warmth may be experienced after treatment usually fading within a few hours.

Results begin to appear quickly. Two weeks after the procedure is when best results will be visible. While waiting for final results, please keep treated skin away from harmful UV rays. The number of treatments recommended will vary depending on conditions targeted, skin type, and individual response to treatment.

A Word on Winter

Winter conditions on the highveld are notorious for being harsh on the skin. Lack of moisture in cold air, wind, and environmental factors all contribute to skin losing its lustre. Symptoms such as redness, inflammation, textural surface complaints and others are well within the treatment scope of the ICON Max G technology.
