Frax 1940

How It Works: The Frax 1940 applicator, as part of the Nordlys system, specializes in superficial skin rejuvenation, focusing on the epidermal layer to treat pigmented lesions and fine lines. It delivers controlled bursts of energy more superficially compared to the Frax 1550, which targets deeper skin layers for textural improvements and collagen remodeling. This makes the Frax 1940 ideal for addressing surface-level skin concerns with minimal downtime.

Treatment Areas: Suitable for treating the face, neck, and hands, particularly for targeting pigmentation and achieving a more uniform skin tone.

Skin Concerns: Effective in reducing the appearance of dark spots, sun damage, and improving overall skin texture, providing a refreshed and brighter skin appearance with less recovery time compared to deeper treatments.

Nano Laser Peel 

How It Works: A Sciton laser treatment, the NanoLaserPeel uses an erbium laser to lightly polish the top layer of skin, improving texture and enhancing skin's overall appearance with minimal downtime. It's a gentle yet effective way to address skin dullness and revitalize its look, making it a popular choice for those seeking quick results.
Treatment Areas: This treatment is suitable for various areas including the face and neck, offering a versatile option for skin rejuvenation.

Skin Concerns: Effective in reducing signs of aging such as fine lines, it also improves skin dullness and minimizes the appearance of enlarged pores, delivering a refreshed and more youthful complexion.

MICRO Laser Peel

How It Works: The MicroLaserPeel offers a deeper treatment compared to the NanoLaserPeel, targeting more pronounced skin imperfections. While both utilize erbium laser technology for skin rejuvenation, the MicroLaserPeel is designed to address issues such as deeper lines, wrinkles, and more significant sun damage by removing a thicker layer of skin. This results in a longer recovery time but yields more dramatic improvements in skin texture and tone. 
Treatment Areas: This versatile treatment is suitable for any area on the face or body, addressing aging signs and surface imperfections.

Skin Concerns: MicroLaserPeel is effective against sun damage, fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores, uneven skin tone, and pigment irregularities, restoring a youthful glow to the skin with minimal downtime.

Frax 1550

How It Works: The Frax 1550 applicator from Nordlys uses laser energy to deliver very small, controlled bursts to resurface the skin. This process stimulates the production of new collagen, smoothing out skin textures and rejuvenating sun-damaged skin with minimal downtime.
Treatment Areas: This treatment is versatile and can be applied to various parts of the body, including the face, neck, and hands, addressing skin concerns effectively across these areas.

Skin Concerns: It's particularly effective for improving skin texture, reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and sun damage, offering a smoother and more youthful complexion.

CONTOUR TRL

How It Works: Performed in our private surgical suite, ContourTRL deeply penetrates to resurface the skin, effectively treating deep wrinkles, scars, and pigmentation by removing layers of damaged skin. This targeted approach stimulates collagen production for profound skin rejuvenation.
Treatment Areas: It's designed for use on areas that show significant signs of aging or damage, such as the face, neck, and hands.

Skin Concerns: Ideal for correcting deep lines, severe sun damage, and scars, offering a transformative improvement with customizable recovery times to suit individual needs.

PROFRACTIONAL

How It Works: The ProFractional laser utilizes a fractionated erbium laser, which is designed to treat a portion of the skin while leaving the surrounding areas intact for rapid healing. This approach promotes significant collagen production and enables a dramatic improvement in the skin's texture, appearance of fine lines, deep wrinkles, scars, and pigmented lesions like sunspots and actinic keratosis. The laser achieves this by initiating the body's natural healing process.
Treatment Areas: ProFractional is versatile and can be used on all skin types across various parts of the body, including the face, neck, chest, hands, arms, and legs. This makes it an ideal choice for comprehensive skin rejuvenation.

Skin Concerns: The ProFractional laser is effective in transforming the skin by treating pigmented lesions, fine lines, deep wrinkles, scars, and more. Its deep ablative approach is efficient in addressing these skin concerns with minimal downtime, allowing for a quicker return to normal activities.
