Acne occurs when your sebaceous glands over produce an oily substance called sebum, this sebum gets trapped in your hair follicles, and your skin becomes irritated, resulting in the appearance of pimples, if left untreated some types of acne can cause permanent scarring.

Our Nordlys system treats acne (the best results are on inflammatory acne-red, aching, raised pimples)by reducing the blood supply to the sebaceous gland to slow down the production of sebum, the Ellipse IPL delivers short, safe bursts directed at the skin.  Using our patented Dual Mode Filtering technology the system filters the light to ensure that only the wavelengths necessary for the treatment are used, only the blood vessels that supply the sebaceous gland are impacted, while the surrounding vessels are not. 

For this treatment, no topical anesthetic is required, and many patients describe it as a practically pain free treatment with a slight flick to the skin like a rubber band, after the treatment you will have a feeling of a gentle warmth after a day on the beach.
