What is Nordlys®?

The Nordlys® system by Candela is an FDA-cleared, multi-application IPL and laser device that offers a personalized approach to skin renewal. Time, sun exposure and hormonal changes can leave skin with acne, age spots, redness, visible veins, wrinkles and a dull, uneven texture. Rather than relying on a single wavelength, Nordlys combines several advanced technologies in one platform, so your provider can tailor each treatment to your skin’s unique needs.

Whether your goal is clearing acne, rejuvenating* sun-damaged skin, reducing unwanted hair or reclaiming a smoother, more youthful tone and texture, Nordlys allows Straith Clinic’s aesthetic providers to address multiple concerns with one customized treatment plan.
