IPL with VL-555 & PR-530
The IPL treatment with the VL-555 & PR-530 handpieces on the Candela Nordlys system is specifically designed for addressing vascular and pigment conditions using Intense Pulsed Light technology. Here’s a breakdown of how it works and what to expect:
The VL-555 emits filtered light at 555 nm, while the PR-530 emits filtered light at 530 nm, wavelengths that are especially effective at targeting oxyhemoglobin—the red pigment in blood and pigmentation.
Tailored for treating:
- Facial telangiectasias (broken capillaries)
- Hyperpigmentation
- Sun Spots
- Rosacea
- Spider veins
- Cherry angiomas
- Red acne scars
The Nordlys skin resurfacing treatment is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses advanced laser technology to improve the appearance, texture, and tone of the skin. It’s commonly used for rejuvenation, targeting issues like fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, pigmentation, acne scars, and uneven skin tone.

How It Works
Fractional Non-Ablative Laser (Frax): Delivers precise microbeams of energy into the skin, stimulating collagen production without damaging the surface. This improves skin texture and tightness.
Results
- Gradual improvement over several weeks as collagen rebuilds.
- Optimal results are often seen after a series of 3–4 treatments spaced a few weeks apart.
- Skin appears smoother, clearer, and more youthful.
