Nordlys Ellipse IPL
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 the water in the skin are removed using patented Dual Mode Filtering.12 The emitted light is absorbed by the 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.
You may notice sloughing or darkening of some pigmented spots for a few days post-treatment. After that, you will find that your skin looks smoother and fresher. Depending on your baseline condition and esthetic goals, you may require up to 3 Nordlys Ellipse IPL™ for the transformative results. Since everyone experiences the natural aging process, you might choose to have 1 or 2 annual maintenance treatments to keep your skin looking its best.
The number of treatments depends on the location and number of vessels to be treated. Depending on your skin condition, you may need a few treatments to achieve your desired outcome. You should see an improvement after the first treatment, but up to 3 treatments may be required to achieve the full effect. Our team of experienced providers will work with you to create the most beneficial treatment plan, recommending the ideal number of treatments for your specific concerns. CLICK HERE TO SCHEDULE
