Poliklinika dr. Jelena Jakić was the first clinic in Zagreb to recognise the potential of this technology and is regarded as a regional and international authority on this laser platform. Dr Jakić is a regular speaker and panellist at Candela academies around the world.
In contemporary aesthetic dermatology, owning a single laser is no longer enough — the key lies in a platform that allows precise targeting of a wide range of skin concerns.
Candela Nordlys® is precisely such a system — one of the most advanced laser platforms in the world, developed to treat:
- pigmentation
- vascular lesions
- skin texture
- signs of ageing
Notably, Nordlys uses selective photothermolysis, a principle by which laser energy is precisely directed at specific structures within the skin (melanin, haemoglobin), without damaging the surrounding tissue.
The result is:
- an even complexion
- reduction of redness and pigmentation
- improved skin quality
- a natural, healthy appearance
How is the treatment performed?
Candela Nordlys® brings together several different technologies within a single platform (IPL, Frax, vascular laser), which are selected according to the indication.
The treatment includes:
1. Skin preparation
- cleansing of the skin
- application of gel (for IPL)
2. Application of laser energy
- selective action on pigment, blood vessels or texture
- controlled heating of the targeted structures
3. Finishing care
- soothing preparations
- SPF protection
The treatment addresses:
→ pigmentation
→ redness and capillaries
→ skin texture
→ signs of ageing
What sets Candela Nordlys apart from other lasers?
Candela Nordlys is not “a single laser” — it is a multifunctional platform.
Compared with CO2 Smaxel:
- Nordlys → non-ablative (no damage to the surface of the skin)
- CO2 → ablative (intensive regeneration, but with downtime)
👉 Nordlys is ideal for a gentler yet effective approach with no downtime
Compared with Morpheus8:
- Nordlys → acts on pigment and vascular lesions
- Morpheus8 → acts on deep tightening and remodelling
👉 Nordlys = complexion and quality
👉 Morpheus8 = structure and lifting
Compared with HIFU:
- Nordlys → superficial and mid-layers of the skin
- HIFU → deep lifting (SMAS layer)
👉 Nordlys improves the appearance of the skin
👉 HIFU lifts the structure of the face
Compared with conventional IPL:
- Nordlys uses advanced IPL with more precise energy control
- a safer and more effective treatment
Who is the treatment for?
Candela Nordlys is ideally suited to:
- pigmentation and melasma
- redness and capillaries
- uneven complexion
- early signs of ageing
- dull, lacklustre skin
It is particularly suited to those who wish to achieve:
- visible results without downtime
- improved skin quality
- a natural appearance
Treatment combinations (the key to outstanding results)
At our clinic, Nordlys is almost never performed as a standalone treatment — but rather as part of combined protocols.
🔹 combinations with other lasers:
- Nordlys (IPL) + Frax → complexion + texture
- Nordlys + CO2 Smaxel → surface + deep regeneration
- Nordlys + HIFU → skin quality + lifting
🔹 combinations with other treatments:
- PRP / Angel PRP (Arthrex) → regeneration
- exosomes → cellular renewal
- SkinPen microneedling → collagen
- polynucleotides → dermal regeneration
- HydraFacial™ → skin priming and maintenance
👉 this is what sets us apart — a combination of technologies, not a single treatment
Our approach
Our laser centre is not only technologically advanced — it is also strategically led.
We were among the first in Croatia to introduce advanced laser systems and to develop an approach founded on:
- the combination of technologies
- thorough dermatological assessment
