The details
About Frax 1550 Laser
in Hamilton.
Frax 1550 is a non-ablative fractional laser option offered through PurBliss’s Candela Nordlys menu. ‘Fractional’ describes treatment delivered in small zones rather than uniformly across the entire surface. ‘Non-ablative’ distinguishes the approach from lasers that remove the surface layer. Those terms explain the technology; they do not guarantee a particular recovery or outcome.
If you are considering laser resurfacing for uneven texture or scars, a consultation should identify the concern and explain why Frax is being proposed. Ask how your skin tone, scar type, current products and recent sun exposure affect the plan.
Describe the texture you want assessed
When discussing Frax 1550 laser resurfacing, point out whether you notice depressed scars, rough texture or uneven-looking skin. These descriptions help establish what is being assessed. The 1550 handpiece is one technology within the Nordlys platform, so ask which handpiece and purpose are proposed rather than relying on the platform name. Skin tone, prior pigment reactions and realistic recovery time remain part of the choice.

Understand the treatment
Understand the procedure before you book
Frax 1550 is a non-ablative fractional laser. It creates small treated zones of heat rather than removing the entire skin surface. This approach differs from IPL, which uses filtered broad-spectrum light.
Your consultation should connect the scar or texture finding to the proposed area and recovery plan. Tanning, medicines and pigment-change history can affect treatment planning.
Credited manufacturer photographs explain the technology. They show demonstrations or product equipment, rather than a PurBliss patient. Confirm the applicator and treatment plan proposed for your visit.

a fit for you?

Good questions
A little more
clarity.
Is Frax 1550 the same as IPL?
No. Frax is a fractional laser; IPL uses pulses of broad-spectrum light. PurBliss lists both through its Nordlys menu.
Will Frax remove every scar?
No scar procedure can promise complete removal. Ask which scar features are likely to respond and what the proposed number of visits would add.
Can I book just before a wedding or holiday?
Discuss the date and sun exposure beforehand. Resurfacing should leave room for recovery and reassessment rather than depending on a guaranteed short downtime.
Does the Nordlys name mean every appointment uses the same laser?
No. Candela describes a platform with separate IPL and laser technologies, including the 1550 fractional handpiece. Confirm the handpiece and intended purpose in your plan. A Nordlys appointment label by itself does not identify the technology that will be used.
Can a scar-treatment plan focus on a small area rather than the whole face?
Explain exactly which scars concern you and ask what area the proposed booking covers. The provider should establish the appropriate scope after assessment. A quote should clarify the treated area and whether other marks are included; do not assume that a general laser appointment covers the entire face.
