SWT® IPL and Frax® laser: why the distinction matters.
Nordlys® by Candela integrates distinct technologies: SWT® uses dual-filtered narrowband light, whereas Frax 1550 and Frax 1940 are non-ablative fractional lasers. Saying “Nordlys treatment” alone is incomplete—what matters is which handpiece is chosen for your indication.
