Nordlys Frax 1940

The science behind Nordlys Frax 1940

How do Frax laser treatments work?

Frax laser treatments, specifically the Frax 1550 and Frax 1940, are FDA-cleared non-ablative fractional laser treatments. These treatments work by penetrating the skin at different depths, stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin. The overall result is improved skin tone, the fading of brown spots, and the smoothing of wrinkles and scars. Unlike more aggressive lasers, fractional skin resurfacing treatments only target a fraction of the skin at a time, resulting in less discomfort and downtime.

What distinguishes Frax 1550 from Frax 1940?

The Fraxel Dual laser utilizes two different wavelengths, 1550 and 1940, to address various skin concerns on different body parts, such as the face, neck, chest, hands, and legs. The 1940 wavelength effectively removes hyperpigmentation, age spots, and sun damage. On the other hand, the 1550 wavelength is specifically designed to target and smooth the skin’s texture, addressing issues like fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scarring.


The Frax 1940 handpiece features a 1940 nm wavelength for a more scientific explanation.
