Description

Getting IPL and hair removal is a way to remove unwanted hair and address a variety of skin imperfections. The state-of-the-art Nordlys platform can be used to accomplish both IPL treatment and IPL hair removal.

It can be used for the treatment of large vessels and a fractionated laser for skin aging, as well as the treatment of dermatological and aesthetic conditions including hair removal, leg veins, facial veins, and sun-damaged skin. Doctors can also address leg and facial telangiectasia, port wine stains, and rosacea. The small spot applicators also allow doctors to reach small areas that were previously difficult to treat accurately without affecting the surrounding skin.

Example Questions
Why is my chest and neck always so red and 'splotchy' compared to my face?, I feel like I'm constantly 'blushing' or have tiny broken capillaries around my nose; how do I calm the redness?, I’m tired of shaving every single morning, is there a permanent way out?
Example Scenarios

Process Overview

Your initial consultation in Plymouth will include a physical examination of your target areas. You will be asked about your medical history, including current medications and vitamins, previous treatments, and allergies. You will be informed of how this light therapy works and will be given instructions on how to prepare for your treatment.

Your IPL treatment begins with the cleansing of your target areas. A topical anesthetic may be applied, along with a cooling gel. You will be asked to wear eye protection for your safety.

Next, the handpiece will be used to emit pulses of light into the area. You might feel a slight stinging sensation during the procedure. The whole process may take 15 to 30 minutes.

There is no downtime or recovery period needed after your IPL treatment. You may resume your normal routine right after. The treated area may be red and slightly swollen for a few hours. Steer clear of hot baths, swimming, or sunbathing for the first 24 hours. Avoid tanning for the next several weeks.
