Nordlys IPL for rosacea
Rosacea is more than redness: it is skin that overreacts, with flushes, sensitivity and sometimes bumps. Light tackles one part of that, and it is the part you see in the mirror.
Why this here does about it
With rosacea the small blood vessels in the face stand open more often and for longer. Over time they no longer close fully, and then a red background stays even when you are not flushing.
The Nordlys light is absorbed by that blood and closes the vessels, after which the body clears them away. So the fixed redness subsides: the layer that was always there disappears.
What stays is the tendency to flush. That lies in how the vessels react to heat, alcohol, exertion or stress, and light does nothing about that. Anyone who knows beforehand is not disappointed afterwards.
What is goes differently than usual
Starting gently
Rosacea skin is easily provoked. The first session at a lower energy, and see what your skin does with it before anything is scaled up.
Across the whole area, not per vessel
With rosacea it is rarely one vein but an area that is structurally red. So the light goes across the whole area.
Maintenance comes with it
After the starting series, once or twice a year. Rosacea does not go away; with this you keep the visible redness in check.
What it gives you
Less lasting redness and a more even colour, built over three to six sessions. The sensitivity and the flushing stay; those call for knowing what triggers your skin, and that is not a treatment but knowledge.
- How often
- A series of three to six, with four weeks in between.
- Recovery time
- A few hours red, and the treated vessels are darker at first before they fade.

When you would choose something else
- It does not cure rosacea. It removes the visible redness and that can come back.
- With the bumps and spots that come with rosacea, medication from a doctor is often needed; light does little about that.
- With a nose that is thickening and becoming bumpy, that belongs with a doctor and not with us.
What people asked about this.
No. The light closes vessels that stand permanently open; the tendency to flush lies in how your vessels react and that stays. What does change is the red background that was always there.
Yes, and often that is the best route: the doctor tackles the bumps and the inflammation, we the visible redness. We agree what happens when.
What we Nordlys IPL for redness and vessels use it for
Whether this suits you,
your skin will show.
Everything above applies to this concern in general. What is going on with you and whether this is the right route is established by the therapist at the skin consultation. If the answer is no, you hear that too.
