How does nlite work

Further, California Skin Institute providers have deep experience with this laser and have received very extensive and nuanced training on how to best calibrate the light energy and application techniques. Having helped thousands of patients get rid of acne scars and reduce the appearance of wrinkles, California Skin Institute providers can custom tailor the N-Lite Pulsed Dye Laser treatment to your needs.

Individual results will vary and the number of treatments will depend on your unique situation. However, patients generally need multiple treatments to see the best outcomes. The N-Lite Pulsed Dye Laser treatment is relatively quick, and can be performed in as little as 30 minutes. Many California Skin Institute patients even come in during their lunch break to get it done. Because of the low energy level of the laser, patients experience virtually no pain or discomfort. The side effects of this laser treatment are typically mild.

In some cases, patients may experience mild bumps on the skin or general redness. However, these will typically resolve within a few days. Most of the time, however, no visible signs of treatment are present.

Simply call a practice near you or fill out the Contact Form below! Treatment results will vary, talk to a practitioner to see if this treatment or procedure is right for you. The results of each treatment session will be reviewed approximately one month post procedure and further treatment performed if deemed necessary.

The number of sessions required varies from person to person and on the condition being treated, and this will be discussed with you during your consultation. Most people with broken veins on the face require 2 — 3 treatments. Darker skin types may need more treatments to reach the same result as on a lighter skin because of the nature of the laser interaction with those skin types. Unlike some treatment options, Nlite-V treatment is relatively painless with no need for anaesthesia or invasive needles.

Very vascular conditions will often feel more sensation than diffuse redness. It may be that you will feel less sensation on successive treatments as the condition reduces. Immediately that the laser pulses, you are likely to see a red blotchy response, which is usually followed by bruise formation within a few seconds to a few minutes later. This bruise is formed by capillary bleeding from the laser impact, and is quite normal to stimulate the healing process.

This bruising may darken in the 24 hours post treatment but usually begins to fade after 48 hours. Some bruises can be visible for days after treatment, but can be hidden using make-up.

The treatment is suitable for all areas of the face and body. Visible responses on the lower body, especially the legs and ankles, can take longer to fade. In rare occasions there may be a micro-crust formation over the treated area for several days after treatment. It is important that you do not interfere with this as it may lead to introduction of infection in the area. Patients may experience some discomfort as the laser is being applied, but this should only be mild. The sensation has been described as similar to pulses of warm air being applied to the local area of the skin.

In comparison with other popular treatment options for acne, such as long-term antibiotics and Roaccutane, this is a treatment solution that is very well tolerated.
