Most treatments last between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the area and the technology being used.
At Advanced Body and Laser Center in Visalia, we offer Nordlys Laser treatments to help you achieve clearer, smoother, and more radiant skin with minimal discomfort and downtime. Whether you want to reduce redness, smooth out fine lines, treat vascular lesions, or fade pigmentation, Nordlys laser treatments can deliver visible results with precision and care.
This advanced system combines Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), non-ablative fractional resurfacing, and Nd:YAG laser technology to treat a wide range of aesthetic concerns. From diffuse redness and rosacea to sun damage, acne scars, and uneven skin tone, Nordlys offers a gentle but powerful solution tailored to your skin’s unique needs.
The Nordlys laser system, developed by Candela Medical, is an FDA-cleared platform designed to treat more than 20 skin conditions and concerns. Its multi-application design allows our team at ABLC to offer safe, customizable treatments using Selective Waveband Technology (SWT®), Nd:YAG lasers, and fractional non-ablative lasers.
This versatile device provides high-impact results with reduced treatment time, increased comfort, and minimal downtime. Whether you’re dealing with unwanted pigmentation, visible veins, or signs of aging, Nordlys laser treatments offer a safe, effective path to clearer and more youthful-looking skin.
Nordlys is a multi-platform aesthetic laser system that combines three technologies: IPL (Intense Pulsed Light), non-ablative fractional lasers (Fraxel), and Nd:YAG laser energy. Each of these components can be used individually or combined in customized treatments depending on your skin type and the condition being treated.
Thanks to advanced cooling technology and customizable pulse settings, Nordlys delivers energy deep into the skin while keeping the surface protected and comfortable. It is one of the most precise and versatile devices available for treating both vascular and pigment-related skin concerns.
Each type of Nordlys treatment works slightly differently depending on the concern being addressed:
1.) SWT® IPL uses narrowband light pulses to specifically target melanin or blood vessels, helping to treat redness, sun damage, and pigmentation without affecting surrounding skin.
2.) Nd:YAG laser energy targets deeper vascular concerns, such as spider veins or telangiectasia, by heating and collapsing the affected vessels.
3.) Fraxel resurfacing delivers fractional, non-ablative laser energy to the mid-dermis. It stimulates collagen, smooths texture, and improves overall tone—without removing the outer layers of skin.
The combination of these precise technologies allows us to treat everything from rosacea and port wine stains to large pores and acne scars.
At ABLC in Visalia, we offer the full range of Nordlys treatments, including IPL, YAG, and fractional resurfacing options. Each technology is used for a specific set of concerns and is customized to your skin tone, condition, and goals.
Nordlys YAG is best suited for addressing vascular conditions and visible redness. It uses a 1064nm wavelength that penetrates deep into the skin to treat broken capillaries, facial veins, and port wine stains. This laser is also ideal for diffuse redness and rosacea, offering precision targeting while minimizing damage to surrounding tissue. Its built-in SoftCool™ system enhances patient comfort and supports quick recovery.
Nordlys IPL uses Selective Waveband Technology (SWT®) to deliver intense pulses of light at customized wavelengths. This allows us to treat pigmented lesions, sun spots, freckles, and redness with less heat and more accuracy than older IPL systems. IPL is excellent for general skin rejuvenation, creating a brighter and more even complexion by targeting pigmentation and vascular irregularities in a single session.
Nordlys Fraxel delivers fractional non-ablative resurfacing through 1550nm and 1940nm wavelengths. It’s an ideal solution for improving skin texture, reducing large pores, smoothing fine lines, and treating stretch marks or acne scars. Unlike ablative lasers that remove layers of skin, Nordlys Fraxel delivers heat to the mid-dermis while preserving the skin’s surface, leading to less downtime and faster healing. It’s a powerful way to rebuild collagen and restore smoother, firmer skin over time.
Nordlys laser treatments are suitable for a wide range of skin concerns and offer customizable options for many skin types. However, like any laser treatment, not everyone is a candidate. An in-depth consultation is essential.
Ideal candidates for Nordlys laser treatments include individuals who:
1.) Want to reduce redness, pigmentation, or broken capillaries
2.) Are looking to improve skin texture, pore size, or fine lines
3.) Have acne scars or stretch marks they’d like to minimize
4.) Prefer a non-invasive, low-downtime approach to skin rejuvenation
5.) Have realistic expectations and are in overall good health
Thanks to the advanced design of the Nordlys system, these treatments are safe for a variety of skin tones when performed by trained professionals.
Nordlys laser treatments may not be suitable for:
1.) Individuals with active infections, cold sores, or open wounds in the treatment area
2.) Those who are pregnant or breastfeeding
3.) Anyone who has used isotretinoin (Accutane) in the past 6 months
4.) People with a history of poor wound healing or keloid scarring
5.) Patients taking photosensitizing medications
Our team at ABLC will review your medical history to determine if Nordlys is the right treatment for your skin.
Your treatment journey at ABLC begins with a personalized consultation. We assess your skin concerns, goals, and history to determine which Nordlys modality—YAG, IPL, or Fraxel—is best for your needs.
Before your treatment, your skin will be cleansed and prepared. Depending on the modality, a cooling gel or topical numbing cream may be applied. The treatment itself usually takes 30 to 60 minutes, and most patients find the experience comfortable thanks to the integrated cooling system.
After your session, you may experience mild redness or warmth similar to a sunburn. Downtime is minimal for IPL and YAG treatments, while fractional resurfacing may involve a few days of peeling or dryness. We provide detailed aftercare instructions to support healing and optimize your results.
Most patients begin seeing improvements within a week, with continued enhancement over several months as collagen production increases.
