What Is XD/XF?
The XD/XF laser treatment harnesses the advanced capabilities of the Cynosure Icon 1540 fractional non-ablative laser to rejuvenate and restore the skin from within. By delivering precise micro-pulses of light deep into the tissue, the treatment stimulates the body’s natural collagen production and encourages the growth of new, healthy skin. This innovative technology targets a wide range of skin concerns, including acne scars, stretch marks, fine lines and wrinkles, and sun damage, helping to improve texture, tone, and overall skin health. The treatment’s versatility allows it to address both superficial and deeper imperfections, making it suitable for patients with varied skin needs.
The XD/XF laser system offers two specialized microlenses to optimize results: the XD microlens penetrates deeply to treat more severe scarring and structural skin issues, while the XF microlensfocuses on superficial concerns, providing effective treatment quickly and comfortably. Because it is a non-ablative procedure, the skin’s surface remains intact, allowing for faster healing, minimal downtime, and a lower risk of complications compared to traditional ablative lasers. Patients can enjoy smoother, healthier-looking skin with gradual improvements over time, as collagen and elastin continue to remodel beneath the surface. The XD/XF laser treatment is an ideal choice for anyone seeking a comprehensive, safe, and effective solution for long-lasting skin rejuvenation.

Downtime
The downtime for XD/XF laser treatment is generally minimal because it is a non-ablative procedure that preserves the skin’s surface. Most patients experience mild redness, warmth, or slight swelling for 1 to 2 days, similar to a mild sunburn. Some may notice temporary dryness or light flaking as the skin begins to heal.
Number of Treatments
For XD/XF laser treatment, most patients experience noticeable improvement after 1 to 2 sessions, particularly for mild to moderate concerns such as superficial wrinkles, minor scarring, or sun damage. For more severe issues such as deep acne scars, extensive stretch marks, or pronounced wrinkles, a series of 3 to 5 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart is often recommended to achieve optimal results.
