Advanced technologies enhances the appearance
Elipse IPL can improve the appearance of ance red macules, irregular pigmentation, and skin tone.
The Nordlys system treats Acne by reducing the blood supply to the sebaceous glands to slow down the production of sebum. The system delivers short, safe bursts of Elipse 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 sebaceous gland are impacted, while the surrounding vessels are not affected.
No topical anesthetics are required, and many patients describe the treatment as practically pain-free, like a flick from a rubber band, followed by a sensation similar to the feeling of gentle warmth after a day on the beach.
