Can I be tanned by choosing an ICOONE treatment?

Can You Be Tanned Before Undergoing the ICOONE Treatment?

The ICOONE treatment is a modern method that helps with body contouring, skin firming, and cellulite reduction. It utilizes advanced technology combining vacuum massage (skin suction) with LED light and laser therapy. While the treatment is safe and non-invasive, there are certain contraindications to be aware of, and one of them is having a fresh tan.

Why is a fresh tan a contraindication for the ICOONE treatment?

  1. Irritated skin after tanning – Exposure to intense sunlight, especially without proper protection, causes microdamage to the skin, dehydration, and increased sensitivity. Tanned skin can be irritated and more prone to inflammation and overreactivity.
  2. Increased sensitivity to LED and laser light – Sun-damaged skin may react negatively to additional light sources, such as LED or laser, used during the ICOONE treatment. This can lead to unwanted side effects, including redness, irritation, hyperpigmentation, or even a deterioration in skin condition.
  3. Higher risk of hyperpigmentation – Even though the ICOONE treatment is gentle, the suction effect combined with sensitive, sun-exposed skin can result in uneven melanin distribution. This may cause persistent pigmentation spots that can be difficult to remove.

When can you undergo the treatment after tanning?

Specialists recommend waiting at least one week after intense sun exposure before undergoing the ICOONE treatment. This allows the skin to calm down and partially regenerate, reducing the risk of irritation. It is also advisable to use soothing and moisturizing products to restore the skin’s hydration and protective barrier.

How to prepare for the ICOONE treatment?

To avoid complications and achieve the best results, you should follow these preparation guidelines:

  • Avoid intense sun exposure at least a week before the treatment.
  • Regularly moisturize the skin, especially after sun exposure.
  • Use sunscreen with SPF to prevent further skin damage.
  • Inform the specialist about your skin condition, particularly if it has recently been exposed to the sun.

A fresh tan is a contraindication for the ICOONE treatment because sun-irritated skin may react negatively to LED light, laser, and mechanical suction. To prevent hyperpigmentation and other unwanted effects, it is recommended to wait at least one week after intense sun exposure before undergoing the procedure. Proper preparation and skincare will help ensure a safe and effective treatment outcome.
