Light & Bright™ Treatment
A recent industry survey underscores that markets for IPL and fractional resurfacing continue to grow.1 Taking these two business-expanding technologies to the next level, Candela’s Light & Bright treatment protocol unites complementary IPL and non-ablative fractional treatments to deliver high rates of improvement and even higher patient satisfaction.2 The new Light & Bright treatment, available on the Nordlys™ multi-application platform, uses patented Ellipse IPL™ and the Frax 1550™ handpieces to address both vascular and pigmented lesions as well as textural irregularities via skin resurfacing.

Clinical Study Results
A clinical study of 22 subjects found high patient satisfaction following a series of three Ellipse IPL and Frax 1550 treatments to the face and/or chest. Subject satisfaction continued to improve during the treatment series, particularly for those patients who were extremely satisfied at the one-month follow-up visit. Investigator assessments showed improvement in pigmentary and vascular dyschromia after the first treatment and continued to improve with successive treatments. Clinical photography demonstrated visible improvement in photoaged skin. The versatility of having access to a selection of Ellipse IPL handpieces with dual filtering and a fractional resurfacing handpiece in one multi-application, multi-technology platform allows for the treatment of various clinical indications in one treatment session.3,5
