Icoone: a massage that makes 21 600 micro-movements a minute

Icoone is an Italian device from I-Tech Industries built around the patented Roboderm technology. It is the only system in the world working on the Multi Micro Alveolar Stimulation principle: the surface of the rollers is covered with micro-holes, and each one creates a microscopic alveolus as it rolls, a precise point of stimulation for the skin and the tissue beneath it.

Classic vacuum-roller devices grip a large fold of skin and roll it out. That is effective but demanding: the skin is stretched, bruising is possible and thin or sensitive skin is not a good candidate. Icoone works differently:

• two independent rollers with micro-perforation split the action into thousands of micro-grips;
• the skin is worked deeply but without stretching and without bruises;
• the treatment is comfortable even on sensitive skin and with a tendency to couperose or varicose veins, in gentle modes;
• it also suits delicate areas: face, neck, inner arms and thighs.

The main strength of the device is its work with fluid and tone. Microstimulation triggers active lymphatic drainage and blood flow:

• swelling and heavy legs ease off, which matters in the Dubai heat;
• cellulite smooths out, from early to pronounced stages;
• skin tightens after weight loss and childbirth, and in medical protocols after liposuction and surgery;
• tissue metabolism improves: the body looks firmer and more defined.

The facial handpieces work more finely: microstimulation activates fibroblasts, the cells that produce collagen and elastin. The result is a sharper contour, less puffiness and a double chin, and a fresher complexion. It is a natural lift with no needles and no heat: the skin simply starts working better on its own.

SOLAR has the Icoone Laser version, with additional laser and LED modules. Photostimulation enhances lipolysis in fat tissue and tones the skin, so anti-cellulite and body-shaping programmes work faster.

Icoone is an ideal finisher in combined programmes: after Tesla Former it relieves muscle fatigue and speeds up the clearance of metabolic by-products, and after work on fat tissue it drains the area and brings the result forward. In facial programmes it pairs well with HydraFacial: cleansing plus tone.

Active skin inflammation, acute infections, thrombosis and phlebitis, cancer and a pacemaker. During pregnancy only the lymphatic drainage programme is allowed in later stages, and strictly with the doctor's approval.

Will there be bruises, like after LPG?
No. Micro-alveolar stimulation does not grip a large fold of skin and does not stretch it, so there is no bruising and no soreness, even on sensitive skin.

How many sessions are needed?
Lightness and less swelling are felt after the very first session. A lasting result on cellulite and tone comes from a course of 6 to 15 treatments, two or three times a week.

Is it safe with varicose veins?
Yes, in gentle lymphatic drainage modes Icoone is safe with a tendency to varicose veins and couperose. The doctor selects the mode at the consultation.

Can face and body be treated in one visit?
Yes, the device has separate handpieces for the body and for the delicate areas of the face, so a face plus body programme is a common format.

Are there seasonal limits?
No, Icoone can be done all year round, including summer: neither the light nor the mechanical stimulation conflicts with sun exposure.
