ACNE CLEARANCE
It is estimated that acne vulgaris afflicts
over 30 million Americans. Approximately 30% of all Americans between
the ages of 15 and 44 have active acne lesions at any given time. Traditional
acne treatments (including topical applications and oral medications)
are expensive and are known for numerous side effects and tend to continue
for many months or even years.
Intense Pulsed Light Photothermal
Therapy
The use of intense pulse light photothermal therapy is a proven, safe,
effective, and convenient treatment for acne. The proprietary technology
featured by the NannoLight system has been shown in extensive testing
to provide acne clearance of up to 90% in four weeks (8 sessions) without
the complications and side effects associated with traditional acne treatments.
Greater Speed, Improved Comfort
NannoLight is faster than most lasers and other IPL systems, making treatments
fast and efficient. NannoLight’s chilled sapphire tip provides skin
cooling to keep the skin cool while heating up the targeted chromophores
to accomplish the desired result.
Safety and Efficacy
NannoLight’s greater versatility and contact cooling allow greater
safety, fewer side effects, and higher efficacy then other systems on
the market.
What can I expect from my Light treatment
program?
At your first visit, you will probably be asked to fill out a medical
history, and your treatment provider will discuss with you a treatment
schedule and the results you can expect from your |
NannoLight treatments. You will also have a “spot test”
done to determine the most effective power level for your skin type and
condition.
Required Number of NannoLight Treatments:
Every patient is different, and the number of treatments required for
improvement depends on a variety of factors. Most cases require two treatments
per week for four consecutive weeks. Some conditions may require additional
treatments and even different types of treatments for ideal acne clearance.
NannoLight protocols and treatment parameters:
The key to safe and effective IPL removal of pigmented lesions is careful
selection of the proper wavelength spectra, pulse width, and energy density
(“fluence”), which varies considerably based on skin tone,
type of lesion and lasers in allowing the selection of different filters
and treatment parameters to provide the best results safely and comfortably.
"Selective Photothermolysis"
Nannolight is able to safely and effectively remove age spots, “liver
spots”, sun spots, and spider veins with little to no downtime.
NannoLight is an intense pulsed light
(IPL) system.
The system uses light and heat to target certain chromophores
in the skin that cause the discolorations, often related to sun damage
and the natural aging process, while leaving the surrounding skin unharmed.

Pulsed Light Photorejuvenation
Recent studies have shown that intense Pulsed Light systems are showing
successful improvement of fine lines and wrinkles due to the stimulating
thermal energy produced by IPL. NannoLight utilizes a selected broadband
of light and is capable of treating a wide variety of skin concerns for
a variety of skin types, including fine lines and wrinkles.
The NannoLight System utilizes a precisely filtered band of intense pulsed light to clear acne.
NannoLight performs acne photoclearance. The NannoLight treatments activate
a photothermal reaction in the porphyrin molecules associated with the
P.acnes bacteria.
This combination of intense green-yellow
light energy destroys the P.acnes bacteria. A red wavelength of light
is also utilized by the NannoLight to provide anti-inflammatory results.
Because the NannoLight utilizes a special ‘anti-acne’ selected
broadband spectrum of light, it is capable of treating wide varieties
of acne, including mild to pustular inflammatory P.acnes vulgaris. Clients
often return to their normal daily activities immediately following treatment!
