Nlite for Wrinkles

This non- invasive laser treatment stimulates the production of natural collagen in the skin, thus replenishing collagen tissue lost as we age and reducing the appearance of wrinkles.

How Nlite encourages production of collagen:

Low grade inflamation induced by laser light is absorbed in the blood vessels.
Inflamatory mediators are released into the surrounding tissues from these vessels.
These mediatoes stimulate fibroblast activity.
The resulting collagen production improves skin tone
