Frequently Asked Questions
What
is NLite?
NLite is a medical laser which emits a unique laser light SmartPulse™ from
a handpiece held close to your skin.
What
can NLite do for me?
If you suffer from acne, NLite has been clinically proven to effectively treat
the inflammation and spots, as well as reducing pits and scars noticeably improving
your skin. If unsightly wrinkles like crow's feet cause distress, NLite can
smooth them out, visibly reducing their appearance giving younger looking skin.
If you have certain kinds of vascular lesions such as port-wine stains, spider
veins or rosacea etc. NLite can treat them effectively.
How
does NLite work?
Against acne the SmartPulse™ laser light kills and reduces the bacteria
that causes the infection and it stimulates the natural mechanism repair of
the skin.
With acne scars and wrinkles the light penetrating into the blood vessels stimulates
your body's natural healing response to build collagen from beneath so gradually
pushing the wrinkles out. To treat vascular lesions a higher energy beam is
used which destroys the problem blood vessels that cause the blemishes whilst
leaving healthy skin unharmed.
What
does treatment involve?
It's simple, you wear protective eye shields, lie back and relax while the
NLite operator moves the handpiece slowly over your skin firing the SmartPulse™ laser
light exactly where required. NLite is fast too, less than 30 minutes to cover
the whole face. You may feel a warming sensation during treatment but it is
usually painless.
Does
NLite have any side effects?
Immediately following the treatment there are little or no visible-effect so
you can resume normal routine quickly. NLite is clinically proven to have negligible
side-effect.
How
many treatments are required?
Acne has been shown to significantly improve 2 to 4 weeks following a single
session. Patients will usually receive treatments 2 weeks apart. Combination
treatments such a microdermabrasion exfoliate the outer layer of skin, complimenting
and enhancing the NLite treatment. Results are seen after 1 to 3 months. Vascular
lesions depending on their type and severity are selectively destroyed. Spider
veins can take as little as 1 treatment, whilst other types may need several
treatments.
How
long do the benefits last?
Acne clearance has been shown to last over 9 months. Maintenance treatments
may required thereafter. Further treatments to maintain wrinkle reduction are
required only when you consider necessary with results typically lasting 12
months.
Could
NLite work for me?
Whether it's for acne, wrinkles or vascular lesions, NLite's SmartPulse™ technology
is effective on the majority of patients.
How
much will it cost?
NLite Treatments can start from as little as £100.
