Nordlys IPL and Nd:YAG at King’s College Hospital London in Dubai’s Jumeirah Clinic Medical Centre
Improve skin tone, reduce redness, and target vascular and pigmentation issues
King’s College Hospital London in Dubai’s Jumeirah Clinic Medical Centre has introduced Nordlys, a premium multi-application platform that combines Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) with a 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser in one advanced system. By bringing these two technologies together, Nordlys allows us to treat a wide range of medical and aesthetic skin concerns, from redness and visible vessels to pigmentation, acne, and overall skin clarity and glow, using carefully selected, physician-led protocols.
What does Nordlys IPL and Nd:YAG do?
Nordlys has two different handpieces that work in unique ways to target various parts of the skin.
Nordlys IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is a broad-spectrum flash light system that delivers controlled pulses through a filter/handpiece to selectively heat targets in the skin, mainly pigment (melanin) and superficial blood vessels (hemoglobin). This makes it particularly useful for uneven tone, sun damage, diffuse redness, and certain superficial vascular concerns.
Nordlys Nd:YAG (1064 nm) is a laser that produces a single wavelength of light. This wavelength goes deeper into the skin and is less absorbed by surface pigment, making it ideal for treating deeper or tougher vascular lesions and other conditions based on the treatment plan.
What can Nordlys treat?
Treatment plans at Jumeirah Clinic Medical Centre are tailored based on diagnosis, skin type, and the specific concern being addressed.
