Frequent Questions About Treatment of Brown Spots
How does NannoLight Perform Clearance of Acne?The NannoLight is an intense pulsed light (IPL) system that uses light to target certain melanin and/or pigmented problem areas in the skin (called chromophores) that cause the discoloration. NannoLight is not a laser. Many hyperpigmentation and problem pigment areas are related to sun damage and the natural aging process. Because NannoLight utilizes selected broadband light, it is capable of treating wide varieties of skin concerns for a variety of skin types. Using this broadband light technology, NannoLight is able to safely and effectively remove age spots, "liver spots", sun spots, and other pigmentation problems with little to no downtime. Our clients often return to work immediately following treatment! How Does NannoLight Intense Pulsed Light Remove Pigmented Lesions?For removal of pigmented lesions, light from the pre-selected light bandwidth is absorbed by the dark melanin pigment in the treatment area and converted to heat. The heat causes the pigment in the lesion to coagulate and the skin normally exfoliates.How many NannoLight treatments will I need?Based on a variety of factors, including the depth and type of lesion, from one to three treatments are generally required for removal of epidermal lesions. For dermal lesions, more treatments are generally required.Will the NannoLight procedure be uncomfortable?Most patients find the process surprisingly comfortable. The removal of brown spots such as solar lentigenes and lentigos is so quick and easy; the comfort factor is generally not an issue with most patients. The comfort level of the treatments varies from person to person based on a number of factors, and the type of pigmented lesion. For more sensitive individuals and areas, a 4% topical anesthetic gel can be applied one hour before treatment. What is involved in the NannoLight procedure?A gentle flash of intense light is quickly pulsed over the treatment area every three seconds until the area has received an adequate "dose" of light energy.Can NannoLight treatment be done on any part of the body?Yes.Will my pigmented lesions return after my NannoLight treatments?If your pigmented lesions resulted from exposure to the sun or tanning beds, it will be necessary to refrain from these activities and wear good quality sun block to prevent further occurrences.Click here to request a coupon good for a Free Consultation and a chance to discuss your desired outcome at either our Miami or Fort Lauderdale locations. |
