Dr. Zitelli’s Expertise in Advanced Laser Treatments
Board-Certified Dermatologist Dr. Kristine Zitelli brings extensive experience in laser dermatology to every Nordlys treatment. “The Nordlys system allows us to customize treatment approaches for each patient’s unique skin concerns,” explains Dr. Zitelli. “Whether addressing sun damage, vascular lesions, or skin texture issues, this technology provides the versatility and precision needed to achieve optimal results safely and effectively.”
What Is Nordlys Laser Treatment
Nordlys laser treatment utilizes the advanced Candela Nordlys multi-platform system, which combines four powerful laser technologies in one sophisticated device. This comprehensive system includes Selective Waveband Technology (SWT) IPL for pigmentation and vascular concerns, dual fractional resurfacing lasers (1550nm and 1940nm) for texture improvement, and Nd:YAG 1064nm laser for deeper vascular and hair removal treatments.
The system’s versatility allows Dr. Zitelli to address multiple skin concerns during a single session or customize treatments specifically for individual patient needs. Each laser modality targets different skin layers and concerns, providing comprehensive rejuvenation options previously requiring multiple devices and treatment sessions.
Common Concerns Addressed with Nordlys Laser Treatments
Patients choose Nordlys laser treatments to address a diverse range of aesthetic and medical skin concerns that impact their confidence and comfort:
- Age Spots and Sun Damage: SWT IPL technology effectively targets and eliminates unwanted pigmentation from years of sun exposure
- Vascular Lesions: Spider veins, broken capillaries, and rosacea respond excellently to targeted laser wavelengths
- Skin Texture Issues: Fractional resurfacing improves acne scarring, fine lines, and overall skin smoothness
- Uneven Skin Tone: Multiple laser modalities work together to create more uniform skin appearance
- Hair Removal: Nd:YAG laser provides safe, effective hair reduction for all skin types
- Facial Rejuvenation: Comprehensive treatment addresses multiple signs of aging simultaneously
“Many patients appreciate that we can address several concerns in one treatment session,” notes Dr. Zitelli. “The Nordlys system’s versatility means less downtime and more comprehensive results.”
What to Expect During Nordlys Laser Treatment
Your Nordlys laser treatment begins with a thorough consultation where Dr. Zitelli evaluates your skin concerns and develops a customized treatment plan. The specific laser modalities selected depend on your individual needs and desired outcomes.
During treatment, you’ll experience different sensations depending on the laser technology being used. SWT IPL treatments feel like gentle rubber band snaps, while fractional resurfacing creates a warm, prickling sensation. The Nd:YAG laser produces a deeper warming feeling. Topical anesthetic may be applied for enhanced comfort during more intensive treatments.
Treatment sessions typically range from 20 to 45 minutes, depending on the area being treated and the number of laser modalities used. Most patients describe the experience as comfortable and well-tolerated.
Following treatment, you may experience mild redness and swelling, similar to a sunburn, which typically resolves within 24 to 48 hours. Dr. Zitelli provides detailed aftercare instructions to optimize your healing and results.
