What is NLite?
NLite laser has been described as the most significant advance in acne treatment for decades.
Consultant Dermatologist Dr Chu’s clinical trials revealed that following a single treatment, improvement was often seen at two to four weeks. After 12 weeks 87% of patients had improved substantially and suffered no adverse side effects.
In light of these and other findings, NLite gained full FDA clearance for inflammatory active acne to accompany its existing FDA clearance for vascular lesions and wrinkle reduction.
How does the treatment work?
The SmartPulse™ laser light targets the bacteria that cause the infection and it stimulates the natural mechanism repair of the skin.
By destroying the bacteria present in the skin, the laser light can clear acne sometimes in as little as two sessions.
Nlite also has a collagen replenishment application, which helps repair the damage caused by acne infection and reduces acne scarring.
As a result, NLite treatment has a long-lasting beneficial effect on the overall texture of the skin.
Which areas can be treated?
NLite is suitable for all skin types and can treat a number of areas including face, neck, back and chest.
Does the treatment hurt?
Unlike other laser resurfacing treatments it is a painless procedure with no downtime. You will only feel a mild tingling sensation as the laser light is absorbed in the skin.
Is it safe?
Yes, if performed by highly experienced laser practitioners.
How long does the treatment take?
The treatment itself is simple and fast. It takes about 30 minutes for a full facial treatment.
How many treatments will I need?
The treatment is generally administered as a series of three sessions.
How soon will I see results?
You would normally see results within two weeks, with continued improvement over the following three months.
How long do the effects last?
Acne clearance has been shown to last over nine months. Regular maintenance treatments may be required after that.
Are there any side effects?
Side effects are negligible so you should be able to resume your normal routine straightaway.
Is there any downtime?
No, you can have a treatment during your lunch break and in most cases return to work with no visible signs of treatment.
