If you’re looking for a non-invasive way to improve skin texture, reduce scars, and achieve a more youthful glow, the Cynosure 1540 fractional laser could be your new favorite skin treatment. This advanced non-ablative laser technology delivers impressive results with minimal downtime — making it a go-to option for patients who want skin rejuvenation without surgery.
What Is the Cynosure 1540 Laser?
The Cynosure 1540 is a fractional, non-ablative laser that targets the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production. Unlike ablative lasers that remove the top layer of skin, the 1540 works beneath the surface, allowing for quicker recovery while still delivering visible, long-term improvements in skin quality.
It’s a part of the Icon™ Aesthetic System and FDA-cleared for treating various skin concerns — safely and effectively.
What Does the 1540 Laser Treat?
This versatile treatment is effective for a wide range of skin concerns, including:
- Acne Scars and other types of scarring
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Stretch marks (striae)
- Surgical scars
- Sun damage and pigmentation issues
- Skin texture and tone irregularities
- Mild skin laxity
Because it promotes natural collagen remodeling, the results develop over time and continue to improve for weeks after the treatment.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
The Cynosure 1540 laser is safe for most skin types and tones, including Fitzpatrick I–IV. You may be a good candidate if:
- You want to improve your skin’s texture or tone.
- You have acne scars or stretch marks.
- You want to reduce fine lines and signs of aging.
- You prefer a non-invasive option with minimal downtime.
- You are not pregnant or actively taking photosensitizing medications.
A consultation with our provider will help determine if the 1540 laser is right for your specific skin goals.
What to Expect During the Procedure
The treatment is well-tolerated and typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the area being treated. Here’s what you can expect:
- Cleansing & Prep: The treatment area is cleansed, and a topical numbing cream may be applied for comfort.
- Laser Application: The handpiece glides over the skin, delivering targeted laser energy in a fractional pattern.
- Cooling: The device has a built-in cooling system to help protect the skin and enhance comfort.
Most patients describe the sensation as a mild warmth or tingling, with minimal discomfort.
Downtime & Aftercare
One of the biggest benefits of the 1540 laser is minimal downtime. After your treatment, you may experience:
- Redness and mild swelling (like a sunburn) for 1–3 days
- Dryness or flaking as the skin begins to renew
- Minor sensitivity in the treated area
Most people can return to daily activities within 24–48 hours, though it’s important to avoid sun exposure and wear SPF daily to protect the healing skin.
Expected Results
You’ll begin to notice improvement in skin tone and texture within a week or two, with full results developing gradually over the next 4–12 weeks as collagen remodeling continues.
Depending on your skin goals, we typically recommend a series of 3–5 sessions spaced about 4 weeks apart for optimal, long-lasting results.
Benefits include:
- Softer, smoother skin
- Diminished appearance of scars and stretch marks
- Reduction in fine lines and wrinkles
- Improved skin tone, firmness, and radiance
