Light & Bright
A Younger, Fresher Look!
Are you looking for a treatment to help reclaim your skin's youthful look, texture, and tone? You are not alone! In fact, more youthful, glowing skin is the most common request from patients all around the world.
As we age, our skin changes. It loses its smoothness. Unwanted pigmentation and small vessels can appear. Over time, sun exposure can accelerate signs of aging.
A Younger, Looking Look!
The Light & Bright treatment offered by the Nordlys system is an exciting new aesthetic treatment that can remove dark spots, reduce redness, and improve textural irregularities via skin resurfacing. The treatment combines two advanced technologies found on the Nordlys system. Light & Bright treatment uses both an intense pulsed light (IPL) technology called SWT® (Selective Waveband Technology) IPL and a 1550 laser on areas to rejuvenate your skin. The treatment does not break the skin, so the downtime is minimal
frequently asked questions
Is the Light & Bright treatment right for me?
If you have unsightly blood vessels or redness, excess melanin in your skin sometimes due to sun damage, or your skin has textural irregularities that bother you, then Light & Bright treatment may be right for you. A Light & Bright treatment provider can assess your skin and condition and determine whether the treatment will meet your needs.
How is the IPL in the Light & Bright treatment different from other IPL’s?
The IPL used in the Light & Bright treatment is called SWT IPL. It is a narrowband wavelength IPL, meaning it cuts off broader light bands that are not always necessary to treat a given condition. Some other IPL’s use broadband IPL light. The SWT IPL technology filters out some higher harmful wavelengths of the broader bands of light and fewer treatments may be needed compared to older IPL technologies.1

What to expect
Prior to your Light & Bright treatment, you and your healthcare provider will meet to discuss your treatment goals. It is important to avoid tanning (sun, tanning salons and self-tanning products) before and during the treatment period.
The Light & Bright treatment consists of a course of 3 sessions, but this may vary according to what will be treated. Your healthcare provider will review with you how many sessions you may need.
Your healthcare provider may use an anesthetic/numbing cream to reduce discomfort. The treatment procedure will generally take between 30-45 minutes.
After treatment, your skin may benefit from applying a cold damp cloth to your face or from using an ointment prescribed by your healthcare provider.
You may notice a sloughing off of some skin or a darkening of some pigmented spots for a few days following the treatment. After that, you will find your skin looks smoother, fresher and glowing.
Talk to your healthcare provider about what you can expect with your individual treatment.
