Introducing Nordlys by Ellipse, the Most Versatile Laser System to Date
Dr. David Halpern of Tampa Bay Plastic Surgery is pleased to announce the arrival of his newest IPL laser by Ellipse. The new and powerful Nordlys with Selective Waveband Technology is capable of emitting pulse durations down to 0.5ms with sufficient fluence to perform vascular treatments previously only possible with pulse dye lasers.
What does all that mean?
It means there is a new ray of sunshine in the world of laser treatments.
Described as “Scandinavia’s best kept aesthetic secret,” Nordlys offers several functions in one system, and in doing so, combines the treatment possibilities that otherwise would require several different lasers into one. Nordlys has an infrared laser for treatment of large vessels and a fractionated laser for skin aging. It can also be used for both the treatment of dermatological and aesthetic conditions including hair removal, leg veins, facial veins, and sun damaged skin. This one laser can do it all.
What does Nordlys treat?
Ellipse has reset the limitations on treatments, allowing doctors to further expand treatment possibilities such as 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.
How Nordlys work?
Ellipse works as a vascular treatment based on selective photothermolysis, where a specific target is selectively heated up and destroyed without damaging the surrounding tissues. The short pulsed Selective Waveband Technology of Nordlys is proven to be superior in the treatment of rosacea. Rosacea patients who used Nordlys observed higher clearance and better skin structure. Patients also noticed less purpura, a rash of purple spots on the skin caused by internal bleeding from small blood vessels.

Selective Waveband Technology combined with perfect square plus ellipse nordlys technology makes for a safer, more predictable and more effective laser treatment that minimizes pain as well as enhances patient comfort.
