Multi-application IPL & non-ablative fractional for tone, texture, and vascular lesions.
A hybrid platform: intense pulsed light for pigment and redness, a non-ablative fractional laser for collagen and texture. Used alone, or layered with PicoWay across a multi-session course.
We agree on what bothers you, photograph it, and choose the IPL filter and fractional parameters together.
10 – 15 minIntense pulsed light across the treated area. You see bright flashes through opaque goggles; a cooling tip keeps the surface comfortable.
15 – 25 minThe non-ablative fractional laser, layered on top. Warm, prickly, not sharp. Typically 10–20 minutes depending on area.
10 – 20 minCold mask, printed aftercare, 48-hour direct line.
5 minNordlys is a workhorse, not a magic wand. For redness it is the best thing I have; for wrinkles it helps, but if wrinkles are the main concern, other lasers do more in fewer sessions. I will tell you in the consultation which one fits you.
The skin will be pink and slightly warm for 24–48 hours. Small darker spots may appear over treated pigmentation — they shed within a week. Fractional patterns may be visible under close inspection for 2–3 days.
Pigmented spots will look darker — almost coffee-coloured — for 5 to 10 days, then flake off. That is the spot lifting, not damage. Vascular work on capillaries or redness sometimes leaves a small bruise that fades inside a week.
Light, mineral makeup after 24 hours is fine. The skin will feel slightly warm and pink for the first evening — leave it alone until the next morning.
Eventually, yes. Rosacea is a chronic vascular tendency, not a stain you wipe off. Two to three sessions clear visible flushing; a maintenance session every 12 to 18 months keeps it quiet. Anyone promising a permanent cure is selling.
With the right wavelength, yes — Nordlys runs from Fitzpatrick I to IV with care. Above type IV I prefer PicoWay or RF Microneedling. I will tell you straight if your skin is in the wrong tool's range.
Rosacea or capillaries: 2 to 3. Sun damage: 2 to 4. Combined photo-rejuvenation: 3 to 5, spaced 4 weeks apart. You'll see the first change after the first session, but the durable result builds across the series.
