Rosacea & Redness
Treatment
Candela Nordlys® SWT® IPL
At 86INK, we selected Nordlys® SWT® IPL specifically for its ability to deliver controlled, vascular-focused energy with refined precision. Unlike traditional IPL, Selective Waveband Technology filters unnecessary wavelengths — allowing more targeted treatment of redness at its source.
This makes it exceptionally effective for diffuse redness, flushing, and visible capillaries while maintaining skin integrity and comfort throughout the treatment.
“This is not generic IPL — it is a precision-selected vascular platform chosen for consistent, refined results in rosacea and vascular skin conditions.”
Rosacea & Redness We Address
Candela Nordlys® SWT® IPL targets the vascular root cause of rosacea — dilated blood vessels — rather than masking symptoms. Results are progressive and cumulative.
Persistent Facial Redness
Chronic redness that doesn't resolve with skincare is often vascular in origin. IPL provides targeted reduction across the cheeks, nose, and chin.
Facial Flushing
Frequent flushing triggered by heat, exercise, or emotion is a hallmark of rosacea. IPL reduces the vascular reactivity that drives these responses.
Broken Capillaries & Telangiectasia
Visible spider veins and broken capillaries on the nose, cheeks, and chin are selectively targeted, collapsing the vessel without affecting surrounding tissue.
Rosacea Subtypes I & II
Erythematotelangiectatic and papulopustular rosacea both respond well to Nordlys® IPL, reducing redness, flushing, and inflammatory lesions.
Diffuse Background Redness
Generalized facial redness that persists across larger areas responds well to the broad-coverage capability of Nordlys® IPL with SWT® precision.
Texture + Redness
When redness is accompanied by rough texture or crepey skin quality, Frax 1550™ can be added as an adjunct for comprehensive skin rejuvenation.
Rosacea Requires a Long-Term Strategy
Rosacea is not a one-time correction. At 86INK, treatment is designed to reduce visible redness, calm vascular reactivity, and support long-term skin stability through a structured series and maintenance approach. Each plan is built around your skin's specific behavior, sensitivity, and goals — not a generic protocol.
Targeted treatment requires clinically guided settings.
Each treatment is customized based on individual skin response and vascular activity.
The Nordlys® Platform
Both modalities live on the same Candela Nordlys® platform — allowing your provider to tailor treatment precisely to your skin's needs in a single session.
Nordlys® SWT® IPL
Selective Waveband Technology
The lead technology for rosacea and vascular conditions. SWT® precisely filters IPL energy to the optimal wavelength for oxyhemoglobin — delivering more effective vascular reduction with less thermal scatter than broad-spectrum IPL devices.
- Rosacea (subtypes I & II)
- Persistent facial redness & flushing
- Broken capillaries & telangiectasia
- Diffuse vascular redness
Combination Approach
When clinically appropriate, IPL can be combined with Frax 1550™ fractional resurfacing — treating both redness and skin texture in a coordinated plan.
Frax 1550™
Non-Ablative Fractional Laser
Not a primary rosacea treatment. Frax 1550™ addresses skin texture, fine lines, and overall skin quality — relevant when redness is accompanied by rough texture or broader rejuvenation goals. Used alongside SWT® IPL, never in place of it.
- Rough or uneven skin texture
- Crepey skin quality
- Fine lines alongside redness
- Broader rejuvenation goals
Clinical Note
Frax 1550™ is selected only when textural concerns accompany redness. It is never used as a standalone rosacea treatment at 86INK.
Rosacea Treatment Pricing
Rosacea care is most effective as a customized vascular treatment plan. Pricing reflects treatment investment options with preferred series planning.
Treatment plans are designed for optimal results rather than single-session correction.
Why Series Are Recommended
Rosacea is a chronic vascular condition. A structured series allows for more consistent redness reduction, improved vessel clearance, and lasting results.
Flexible Financing
Treatment series can be financed through Cherry — a healthcare financing platform offering flexible payment plans with quick approval.
Best For
- Persistent redness and vascular flushing
- Visible facial vessels and capillary prominence
- Rosacea-prone skin seeking a non-ablative option
- Patients wanting minimal downtime and progressive improvement
- Those seeking a clinically validated, NP-led treatment plan
Series & Maintenance
Rosacea is a chronic condition — not a one-time fix. The most effective approach combines a corrective series with scheduled maintenance to prevent recurrence and sustain results over time.
