What is IPL Treatment with Nordlys®?
IPL, or Intense Pulsed Light, is a non-invasive light-based treatment that targets a variety of skin concerns, from pigmentation and redness to fine lines and sun damage. The Nordlys system takes IPL to the next level, employing advanced technology to deliver targeted light pulses to the skin, ensuring effective and safe results tailored to your unique skin needs.
Read moreHow Does the Treatment Work?
Nordlys uses Selective Waveband Technology (SWT®), a refined version of IPL that emits controlled light pulses in specific wavelengths. These light pulses penetrate the skin, targeting and breaking down pigmentation, blood vessels, or other skin irregularities. Simultaneously, the treatment stimulates collagen production, leaving the skin rejuvenated and refreshed.
The treatment is quick and comfortable, with minimal downtime, allowing you to return to your routine almost immediately.

Aftercare for IPL Treatment with Nordlys®
Proper aftercare is essential to ensure optimal results and maintain the health of your skin following your IPL treatment with Nordlys. At Pulse Light Clinic, we provide detailed guidance to help you care for your skin post-treatment. Here’s what you need to know:
Immediate Aftercare
- Soothe Your Skin: Your skin may feel slightly warm or appear red for a few hours. Apply a cooling gel or aloe vera to calm the area.
- Avoid Heat Exposure: Steer clear of hot showers, saunas, or steam rooms for at least 48 hours to prevent irritation.
- Skip Harsh Products: Avoid using exfoliants, retinoids, or any strong skincare products for a minimum of 3-5 days.
Sun Protection
- Use Sunscreen: Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher daily, even indoors. Protecting your skin from UV exposure is crucial for maintaining your results and preventing further pigmentation.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight: Minimise sun exposure for at least two weeks post-treatment. Consider wearing a wide-brimmed hat or protective clothing if you need to be outdoors.
Hydration and Moisturising
- Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from within.
- Moisturise Regularly: Use a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturiser to nourish and protect your skin as it heals.
Long-Term Maintenance

- Adopt a Healthy Skincare Routine: Incorporate a consistent routine with hydrating and protective products to enhance the longevity of your results.
What to Avoid
- Makeup: Avoid applying makeup to the treated area for at least 24 hours to prevent irritation.
- Scrubbing or Picking: If dark spots or crusts form, allow them to naturally shed without interference to avoid scarring.
