Blog, Skin Treatments

Whether your aim is to tackle pigmentation, rejuvenate your skin, or reduce redness, the Nordlys IPL system provides a modern, innovative route to radiant and healthy skin. Powered by Candela’s state-of-the-art technology, this treatment is revolutionising skincare with exceptional precision, safety, and flexibility.

What is the Nordlys IPL System?

At the heart of the Nordlys system is Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology, which uses controlled light to target and treat specific skin issues. Unlike traditional IPL systems, Nordlys employs Selective Waveband Technology (SWT®) for precise wavelengths tailored to different skin conditions, optimising results while minimising side effects. The system includes four handpieces designed for specific skin types and concerns, allowing customised and effective treatments.

What Can Nordlys IPL Treat?

  1. Vascular Lesions

    • Reduces rosacea, facial redness, and spider veins.
    • Targets haemoglobin in blood vessels to diminish redness and vascular irregularities.

  2. Pigmented Lesions

    • Lightens or removes sunspots, age spots, and freckles by targeting melanin.
    • Effective on photodamaged skin.

  3. Skin Rejuvenation

    • Improves uneven skin tone, fine lines, and wrinkles via collagen stimulation.
    • Results in a more youthful, glowing complexion.

  4. Acne and Acne Scarring

    • Reduces active acne by targeting bacteria and controlling inflammation.
    • Fades scars and improves skin texture over time.

  5. Permanent Hair Reduction

    • Reduces unwanted hair by targeting hair follicles with light energy.

The Benefits of Nordlys IPL Treatments

1. Precision and Safety with SWT®

Narrowband wavelengths precisely target chromophores like melanin or haemoglobin, minimising collateral damage.

2. Customised Care for Every Skin Type

Specialised handpieces ensure optimal outcomes for all skin tones and conditions.

3. Reduced Discomfort and Downtime

Built-in cooling technology provides comfort, with minimal recovery time required.

4. Fewer Sessions, Faster Results

Efficiency and precision often mean noticeable results in fewer sessions.

5. Multi-Application Platform

Includes non-ablative fractional lasers (Frax 1550 and 1940) and Nd:YAG lasers for a broader range of skin concerns.

  2. Preparation: Cooling gel applied for comfort.
  3. Treatment: IPL handpiece delivers precise light pulses; sessions last 15–45 minutes.
