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 IPL™ 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.

Because acne is difficult to eradicate completely, your Gerrish MedEsthetic Provider will discuss your treatment plan with Nordlys Ellipse IPL™ in addition to recommended topical treatments. If you have a future acne outbreak, the treatment can be repeated. As individual results may vary, talk to your healthcare provider about what results you can expect with your treatment.
