What is the Nordlys™ system?

The Nordlys™ system is an intense pulsed light (IPL) and laser device used by aesthetic treatment providers. It is a versatile platform that treats 22 conditions ranging from pigmentation (dark spots), redness, skin textural irregularities via skin resurfacing, and even hair removal.

The IPL on the Nordlys system is unique in that it offers a narrowband of light exposure compared to broadband light (BBL) type systems. This means that less heat is delivered to the skin with better targeting, more comfort, and minimized risk compared to older IPL technologies. The IPL technology on the Nordlys system is called Selective Waveband Technology, or SWT®. SWT uses water and light filtration and customizable light pulses to create a highly targeted and comfortable treatment, that doesn’t compromise on results and can minimize your post-treatment downtime!

The Nordlys system also offers non-ablative fractional skin resurfacing (1550 nm and 1940 nm wavelengths) as well as a Nd: YAG 1064 nm laser. Lasers use a single light wavelength, as opposed to a range of wavelengths with IPL devices, to accomplish treatment. Our Nordlys system treaters are trained to identify the right Nordlys system technology to use for your particular condition and skin type.

Light & Bright Treatment

Only the Nordlys system offers the in-demand Light & Bright treatment. Light & Bright uses a combination of SWT intense pulsed light (IPL) and non-ablative fractional laser skin resurfacing that doesn’t break the skin barrier. This means downtime is low and the treatment can be combined with SWT® IPL treatment. The treatment reduces brown spots, eliminates redness, and smooths the skin – all in a single visit. A few treatment visits may be needed to achieve your desired results.

Nordlys Treatments

Nordlys treatments are typically brief, typically 15-20 minutes, but can be shorter or longer depending on the condition and body area being treated. Some conditions will need multiple treatments to accomplish ideal results, while others can be treated in a single visit.

Conditions Nordlys system treats include:

• Skin rejuvenation
• Telangiectasias
• Rosacea
• Benign pigmented lesions (e.g., Mottled Pigmentation, Ephilides)
• Diffuse redness
• Poikiloderma of Civatte
• Port wine stains
• Epidermal pigmented lesions (e.g., Lentigo Solaris)
• Venous lakes
• Leg vessels
• Skin resurfacing (1550 nm)
• Skin resurfacing (1940 nm)
• Permanent hair reduction
• Acne vulgaris
• Warts
• Clear nail (patients with onychomycosis)
• Benign vascular lesions

Hair Removal with the Nordlys System

The Nordlys system hair removal is done with the SWT® IPL, meaning it is a light-based, rather than a laser-based treatment. This means that treatments are comfortable and can cover wide treatment areas in a short amount of time. Nordlys hair removal can be used across genders and in skin types ranging from light to dark.
