How Does NannoLight Remove or Improve Spider Veins and Capillaries?

The NannoLight is an intense pulsed light (IPL) system that uses a broadband of light to target certain problem areas in the skin (in this case, blood in a tiny vessel) while the surrounding healthy tissue is left unaffected. By coagulating the blood within the vessels, NannoLight reduces redness, flushing, and related vascular conditions. NannoLight can treat a wide variety of skin concerns for a wide variety of skin types. NannoLight is able to safely and effectively reduce the appearance of spider veins, rosacea, and other vascular lesions with little to no downtime. Our clients often return to work immediately following treatment!

Is NannoLight a laser?

No. NannoLight is like a laser, in that uses light to treat photodamage and other skincare concerns, but unlike a laser, NannoLight uses a broad spectrum of light. This makes NannoLight capable of treating a wide variety of skin types and problems. NannoLight treatments are generally less invasive and require significantly less downtime as compared to laser treatments.

Will the NannoLight procedure be uncomfortable?

Most patients find the process surprisingly comfortable. NannoLight treatments are so quick and easy; the comfort factor is generally not an issue. The comfort level of the treatment varies from person to person based on a number of factors including the location on the body and face and the extent of photodamage. For more sensitive individuals and areas, a 4% topical anesthetic gel can be applied one hour before treatment to lessen any feeling of the "tinge" when light is applied to the skin.

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.

How many NannoLight Treatments will I need?

Based on a variety of factors, including the depth and location of the blood vessel, most patients require from two to four treatments for satisfactory clearance. Some conditions may require additional treatments and different types of treatments.

Will the NannoLight treatment cause bleeding or bruising?

Minor bruising called "purpura" (a very typical reaction to many light-based treatments) occasionally occurs but is not a serious problem. Purpura is very superficial and temporary, and typically resolves in three to four days.
