Nordlys Ellipse System Treatments


  • IPL (selective waveband technology) treats sun damage, brown spots, broken vessels, diffuse redness, rosacea symptoms
  • Light & Bright is combination of IPL and Frax 1550or Frax 1940 treats sun damage, brown spots, broken vessels, skin tone and texture including fine lines.
  • Frax Pro: Frax 1550 or Frax 1940 non-ablative  resurfacing helps improve the visible signs of aging, uneven pigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Nd Yag 1064nm – treats vessels of blue and red in color including leg veins, visible facial capillaries, hemangioma, venous lakes, and more
  • Hair Removal: The light is absorbed by pigment "melanin in your hair". Melanin converts the light into heat, which travels down the hair and heats the hair matrix, preventing future hair growth. With new advance we are able to confidential treat darker skin types (Fitz Patricks scale 3 thru 5).


Laser Skin Rejuvenation for Sun Damaged Skin

Our skin ages due to sun exposure and decreased production of collagen. Excessive exposure to sun can be very harmful to the long-term health and appearance of your skin. Ellipse treatments of sun-damaged skin (Skin Rejuvenation or Photo Rejuvenation) help you to achieve and maintain a more youthful and fresher look.

  • How does Nordlys Ellipse treatment work?

    Ellipse treatments of sun-damaged skin make your skin look smoother by removing age spots, other uneven pigmentation while diffusing any redness. You may also notice improvement to the texture of your skin and many women report that it becomes easier to apply makeup after treatment. Facial treatments are the most popular, but all parts of the body can be treated. To do this, short, safe bursts of intense pulsed light (called SWT technology by Ellipse, but often referred to as a laser) are directed at the skin. The system filters the light to ensure the wavelengths used are absorbed by hemoglobin in the fine blood vessels and melanin in the age spots. When cells containing a lot of melanin or hemoglobin are treated, the target heats up and is destroyed within a few thousandths of one second.

Leg Veins Laser Treatment

What are my treatment options?


As we age, the valves in our leg veins become less efficient, so less blood is pumped back from the legs. This means blood vessels in our legs become larger, darker and more visible. In severe cases, varicose veins may form, and may require surgical treatment (vein stripping). Other vessels can be treated by injection (sclerotherapy). Smaller vessels (leg telangiectasias) are often treated by laser, such as the Ellipse Nd:YAG laser.


How does the Nordlys Ellipse treatment work?


Ellipse leg vein treatment uses a precisely calculated pulse of laser energy, exactly directed to the vessel being treated. This causes the blood inside the vessel to heat up; causing the wall of the vessel to collapse. The vessel is reabsorbed naturally by your white blood cells. The skin surrounding the vessel is not affected by the treatment.

SmartXide Dot Therapy

The SmartXide Dot therapy is a fractional CO2 resurfacing ablative treatment. Designed to treat the skin using a pattern of tiny dots, instead of the larger patches of skin, the SmartXide DOT offers comparable results to traditional fractionated CO2 laser treatments, but with a fraction of the downtime and less patient discomfort.


The fractional CO2 laser was the gold standard in skin resurfacing technology since it was first introduced in 1991. However, traditional fractionated CO2 laser resurfacing procedures removes the entire skin surface, which can result in a prolonged and somewhat difficult recovery. 

SmartXide Dot technology offers results approaching those of traditional fractionated CO2 laser resurfacing, but with complete recovery in less time than traditional CO2 lasers. SmartXide Dot is setting a new standard for resurfacing skin and for reversing the effects of aging on the skin.
