Live Clinic Session: NLite Treatment

This week saw the launch of the first in a series of live Twitter clinics straight from the Private Clinic Twitter feed.

Using the hashtag #LiveClinicSession, the public were able to follow Nurse Practitioner Marie Narsoomamode whilst she carried out an NLite Laser procedure on patient Dina.

If you missed the session, then not to worry, we have now uploaded a full transcript containing all updates from the session, which you can find as follows:

Post Treatment

• Less than 30 minutes later and Dina is free to leave.. #LiveClinicSession

• We ask Dina how it felt: she informs us that the treatment felt warm and tingly, ‘it’s not uncomfortable’ #LiveClinicSession

• Results: Marie recommends a course of 3 treatments, spread one a month. Then a maintenance procedure every 6/12 months #LiveClinicSession

 
What is the NLite Laser Treatment?
NLite is a non-invasive laser acne treatment that works in 3 ways:

• Kills the bacteria
• Stimulates new collagen
• Reduces inflammation

The treatment is suitable for all skin types and can be used to treat acne on the face, neck, back and chest.
