Nordlys^™

With its three state-of-the-art technologies (Ellipse SWT^®, Frax 1550 laser, and Nd:YAG 1064 laser), the Nordlys system can treat a wide range of conditions, including:

• Acne: Ellipse SWT^® treatments can help improve the appearance of red blemishes, irregular pigmentation, and skin tone¹¹
• Aging skin: Ellipse SWT^® treatments can help address dark spots, freckles, age spots, uneven pigmentation, and diffuse redness
• Unwanted hair: Ellipse SWT^® treatments can remove excessive hair on the upper lip, chin, legs, bikini area, underarms, back, shoulders, and more
• Irregular skin texture: Frax 1550 skin resurfacing can smooth textural irregularities, rejuvenate sun-damaged skin, and improve skin texture
• Vascular lesions: Ellipse SWT^® and Nd:YAG 1064 can be used to treat port wine stains, unsightly leg veins, broken capillaries, diffuse redness, hemangiomas, cherry angiomas, and more 

The number of treatments depends on the area and nature of what you’re having treated and may also depend on your skin type. Ask your treatment provider how many treatments you can expect for your condition. 

It makes your skin look clear and bright by delivering short bursts of light that directly target the blood vessels or melanin within your skin. Potentially harmful wavelengths are removed using patented Dual Mode Filtering.¹² The remaining wavelengths are absorbed by the hemoglobin in your blood vessels — only the treated ones — and the melanin in your freckles, sun spots, or other pigmented lesions.¹³

With leg veins and other types of vascular lesions, smaller vessels can disappear immediately after Nordlys treatments. Larger ones fade away more gradually over the next few weeks. 

It can smooth textural irregularities, rejuvenate sun-damaged skin, and improve skin texture.²

It rejuvenates skin by delivering very small, controlled bursts of heat energy only to the area being treated.² This unique technology allows the pulse time and energy to be set independently to deliver controlled heat at the appropriate width and depth to meet individual needs.² The heat stimulates the production of collagen, which will resurface the skin over time. And because the laser is rolled across the skin, the treatment takes a short time, the surface of the skin is left intact, and healing and recovery are quick. 

The Nordlys system permanently reduces unwanted hair by delivering short, bursts of light directed at the target site. To ensure good contact with the skin, a thin layer of gel is applied to the skin prior to treatment. 

Potentially harmful wavelengths and wavelengths that only heat up water in the skin are removed using patented Dual Mode Filtering.¹² The emitted light is absorbed by pigment (melanin) in your hair. Melanin converts the light into heat, which travels down the hair, toward the root, and heats the hair matrix, preventing future hair growth. 

The number of treatments depends on the location and the life cycle of your hair. Because every hair grows for a period of time, you may need to repeat the treatment at intervals until all hair follicles have been treated while growing. 

Clinical studies have shown that 4 to 6 treatments are needed, and typically the intervals between treatments are 1 to 3 months. 

Acne occurs when your sebaceous glands overproduce an oily substance called sebum. When extra sebum gets trapped in your hair follicles, your skin can become irritated — leading to the appearance of pimples on your face. Left untreated, some types of acne can cause permanent scarring. 

The Nordlys system treats acne by reducing the blood supply to the sebaceous gland to slow down the production of sebum. The system delivers short, bursts of Ellipse SWT^® directed at the skin. Using patented Dual Mode Filtering technology, the system filters the light to ensure that only the wavelengths necessary for the treatment are used. Because of this, only the blood vessels that supply the sebaceous gland are impacted, while the surrounding vessels are not affected.¹¹
