What is Cynosure Icon MaxRs?

The Cynosure Icon MaxRs handpiece is an optimized light technology designed for the removal of unwanted hair in smaller and delicate areas such as the face, eyebrow, underarms, and genital area. Unlike waxing and other manual hair removal techniques, this innovative handpiece provides consistent, effective, and repeatable results with a high level of patient comfort.

How does Cynosure Icon MaxRs Work?

The Cynosure Icon MaxRs handpiece emits highly controlled laser energy into areas of unwanted hair. The laser is then absorbed by the melanin (pigment that gives skin color) and causes an increase in temperature within the area. This in turn damages the tube-shaped sacs within the skin known as hair follicles. Because the main function of the hair follicles is to produce hair, the laser-induced damage impairs this ability. As a result, future hair regrowth in the area is prevented. With additional treatments, more hair follicles are damaged and the results become more noticeable. Not all hairs are in the same stage of development and only those in the anagen phase (growth stage) are effectively damaged so most patients will require additional treatments to achieve smoother, radiant, and aesthetically pleasing skin.

Is Cynosure Icon MaxRs Safe for all Skin Types?

The handpiece is safe and effective for patients of all skin types including tanned or dark skin. Because the Cynosure Icon MaxRs selectively targets hair follicles, damage to the surrounding tissue is prevented.
