Used Icon for Sale: Current Listings, Used Price Range and What to Check

A used Icon is listed at $14,250–$45,000 as of November 2026, with a median asking price of $24,500 across 18 listings from 9 sellers.

The price table above lists each point, and model year explains little of the spread.

The three 2014 units are listed at $15,000, $17,900 and $24,000, while 2016 units run from $15,975 to $44,000.

The two 2019 units sit near the top, at $39,000 for a system that includes the 2940 handpiece and $41,500 for one the seller describes as like new.

Handpiece sets differ from listing to listing, so read each listing's handpiece list before you compare prices.

One unit listed at $17,500 comes with 2 handpieces and states 282,895 total shots, with 26,700 on the MaxR and 8,847 on the MaxG.

Three dealer prices are "starting at" figures ($14,900 for a 2017, $15,000 for a 2014 and $23,000 for a 2018), so ask what the base price includes.

We found no verified new price for an Icon, so this page shows no used-versus-new gap.

Icon has two FDA 510(k) clearances in our records: K110907, issued to Palomar Medical Technologies on June 22, 2011, and K142376, issued to Cynosure on September 24, 2014.

Cynosure completed its acquisition of Palomar on June 24, 2013, which is why listings call the same platform a Palomar Icon, a Cynosure Icon or both.

Listings that show no model year make up 5 of the 18 points, and one title says 2018 while its text says 2012, so read the serial plate before you pay.

Icon is a multi-technology handpiece platform that delivers intense pulsed light, Nd:YAG laser and fractional laser energy through interchangeable handpieces, per its 510(k).

Icon is one of the platforms priced side by side in used fractional lasers for sale with prices, through its 1540, 1440 and 2940 handpieces.

Our sources give no voltage, weight or size figures for the Icon console, so ask the seller for the electrical service and freight details before you book shipping.

Cynosure does not publish a transfer or recertification fee for a used Icon, as of November 2026.

Its published US terms of sale contain no transfer, relicensing or recertification fee for used systems, and its service page names none.

One dealer's listing for a 2019 Icon at $41,500 advertises a waived recertification fee, but Cynosure's published terms name no such fee.

Treat any fee figure in a dealer listing as the seller's claim, not a Cynosure price.

Ask Cynosure in writing what a new owner pays for service and parts before you send a deposit, and compare other brands' recertification fees with Cynosure's unpublished Icon terms.

A complete used Icon system includes the three-module console, a footswitch, the Skintel melanin reader if listed, and each handpiece the seller names.

• Console: chiller module, heat exchanger module and base module
• Footswitch
• Skintel melanin reader
• Each listed handpiece: MaxG, MaxY or MaxYs, MaxR or MaxRs, 1064+, 1540 or 2940

Handpiece counts vary widely: one listing at $17,500 has 2 handpieces, one at $15,975 has 4, and one at $29,999 has MaxY, MaxG, MaxR, 1540 and the Skintel reader.

Single Icon handpieces are listed separately, with a 1064+ at $12,825, a 2019 MaxR at $4,745 and a MaxRs at $4,275, so you can price a missing handpiece back into a system.

Cynosure's warranty excludes handpieces as consumable components.

Check five things on a used Icon: shot counts per handpiece, handpiece set, software licence status, service records and serial match.

1. Shot counts per handpiece: ask for the total and the count on each handpiece, as one seller lists 282,895 total shots with 26,700 on the MaxR and 8,847 on the MaxG.
2. Handpiece set: match each handpiece in the photos to the listing text and test each one on the console.
3. Software licence status: Cynosure's terms say the licence and authorization to operate end if usage requirements are not met, and Cynosure may then stop selling parts, supplies and consumables.
4. Service records: ask for every service date and part replaced, because Cynosure disclaims liability after uncertified third-party parts are used.
5. Serial match: compare the serial, maker (Palomar or Cynosure) and year on the console label with the seller's paperwork.

Cynosure's warranty runs to the original purchaser only and is non-transferable, so any warranty on a used Icon comes from the seller, such as the 90-day warranty on one 2016 unit listed at $15,975.

It depends on your state: federal rule 21 CFR 801.109 treats a prescription device as one that is not safe except under the supervision of a licensed practitioner, and some states restrict laser sales further.

Georgia's board, for example, defines lasers as prescription devices that can be sold only to licensed practitioners with prescriptive authority, so confirm your state's rule before you contact a seller.
