The Benefits of Nordlys Light & Bright for Addressing Skin Concerns and Enhancing Beauty

Written by Liquivida® | Oct 28, 2025 12:00:03 PM

When it comes to boosting your confidence, few things are as powerful as feeling great in your own skin. But over time, sun damage, dark spots, redness, and uneven texture can dull your complexion and make you feel like your glow is stuck in the past. That’s where Light & Bright™, powered by Nordlys®, comes in—a revolutionary laser treatment that helps you bring your inner beauty to the surface without harsh chemicals or long recovery times. 

Whether you're looking to reverse years of sun exposure or simply want smoother, more radiant skin, here’s what makes Light & Bright™ one of the most advanced, non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatments available today. 

What Is Light & Bright?

Light & Bright™ is a combination laser treatment offered by the Nordlys® platform by Candela, a globally trusted leader in medical aesthetics. It combines two cutting-edge technologies in a single session: 

  1. SWT® (Selective Waveband Technology) IPL: Treats redness, vascular lesions, and pigmentation 
  2. Frax 1550 non-ablative laser: Improves skin texture and promotes collagen remodeling 

By addressing both tone and texture in a single appointment, Light & Bright™ provides visible skin renewal without the downtime associated with more aggressive procedures. 

What Skin Concerns Does Light & Bright Treat? 

This dual-action approach allows Light & Bright™ to target a wide range of common skin concerns, including: 

  1. Sun damage and dark spots 
  2. Redness and rosacea 
  3. Uneven skin tone and dullness 
  4. Fine lines and rough texture 
  5. Scarring and stretch marks 

It’s especially popular among individuals looking to brighten and smooth their complexion without injections or surgery. 

Top Benefits of Light & Bright Laser Treatments

1. Fades Pigmentation and Redness

The IPL component targets melanin and vascular irregularities, helping reduce brown spots, freckles, and visible blood vessels for a clearer, more even tone.

2. Improves Texture and Elasticity

The Frax 1550 laser stimulates collagen and elastin production, helping refine skin texture and reduce the appearance of fine lines, large pores, and mild scars. 

3. Minimal Downtime

Most people experience only mild redness or warmth after treatment. You can return to your day—no hiding out at home or avoiding the sun for weeks.

4. Long-Term Results with Minimal Sessions

After a series of 3–4 treatments spaced a few weeks apart, patients often report brighter, more youthful-looking skin that lasts. Many patients opt for one to two maintenance sessions per year to extend their results and keep their skin looking radiant year-round. 

5. Safe and Non-Invasive

Unlike ablative lasers or chemical peels, Light & Bright™ is gentle on the skin barrier, making it a safer choice for those with sensitive skin or busy schedules.

Light & Bright vs. Other Laser Treatments 

At Liquivida, we also offer Matrix™ RF, another powerful skin resurfacing treatment. Here’s how they compare. 

 

Light & Bright™ 

Matrix™ 

Technology 

IPL + non-ablative laser (1550) 

Radiofrequency microneedling

Light & Bright is ideal for achieving an overall brighter and more even complexion with minimal to no downtime, while Matrix RF is better suited for firming the skin and addressing deeper structural concerns, such as fine lines and scars. 

What to Expect During Your Light & Bright Treatment 

There’s no need for downtime, which means you can schedule treatments during your lunch break and return to your routine with glowing skin. 

  • Treatment Time: About 30–45 minutes, depending on the area 
  • Sensation: Most patients describe a mild stinging or warming sensation 
  • Aftercare: Some redness or swelling may occur but usually fades within 24–48 hours. Use SPF and avoid direct sun exposure for a few days to protect your skin. 

Are There Side Effects? 
Light & Bright™ is considered very safe when performed by trained professionals. However, potential side effects may include: 

  • Temporary redness, swelling, or warmth in the treated area 
  • Mild flaking or dryness 
  • Rare risks: hyperpigmentation or blistering (typically preventable with proper aftercare) 

That’s why your consultation is so important. At Liquivida, we’ll review your skin type, goals, and medical history to ensure the treatment is right for you. 

Who’s a Good Candidate for Light & Bright? 

You may be a great candidate if you: 

  • Have light to medium skin tones (Fitzpatrick I–III) 
  • Struggle with pigmentation, redness, or rough texture 
  • Want a non-invasive solution to rejuvenate your skin 
  • Are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or experiencing active breakouts or infections 

If you’re unsure, our team at Liquivida offers personalized consultations to help determine which laser treatment best fits your goals.
