About
Advance skin rejuvenation
Welcome to Candela’s signature skin-illuminating treatment, available exclusively through the Nordlys system.
Advanced Dual Depth Resurfacing: The Nordly’s system utilises two fractional lasers, Frax 1550 and Frax 1940, providing dual-depth skin resurfacing. The 1940 handheld adaptor addresses surface-level issues, while the Frax 1550 tackles deeper skin concerns. Achieve your desired look with just 2-3 sessions, showcasing the effectiveness of this highly advanced treatment.
The Selective Waveband Technology (SWT®) IPL technology used in a Light & Bright treatment uses small controlled bursts of light, which directly target unsightly blood vessels or excess melanin within your skin, reducing age spots, freckles, redness and sun damage. Ellipse IPL technology is unique, filtering out harmful light wavelengths compared to the older technology of standard IPL’s.
Patient Comfort is Paramount: The Real You Clinic prioritises patient comfort throughout the treatment journey. Dr. Kathryn administers numbing cream before the procedure, ensuring a simple rolling sensation during treatment. The Nordly’s handheld laser, paired with the SoftCool applicator, delivers cool air to minimise heat sensation, and a range of cooling gels and masks are available for post-treatment care.
Results That Speak Volumes: Patients at the Real You Clinic report more even complexions, brighter and healthier-looking skin, and a significant increase in self-confidence. Dr. Kathryn’s expertise and the innovative Nordly’s system combine for outstanding results that go beyond expectations.
Unleash radiance and revitalise your skin with the Real You Clinic’s expert laser resurfacing. Schedule your consultation with Dr. Kathryn to embark on a journey to stunning skin transformation.
Fractional NAFL Technology
Candela Nordlys Frax 1550 nm & 1940 nm Lasers
Our Candela Nordlys Frax system uses Fractional NAFL (Non-Ablative Fractional Laser) technology to rejuvenate skin safely and effectively, without damaging the surface.
The Frax 1550 nm laser targets the deeper dermal layers, stimulating collagen and improving firmness, while the Frax 1940 nm laser treats more superficial layers to enhance tone and texture. Together, these wavelengths deliver a powerful dual-action result, improving fine lines, pigmentation, enlarged pores, and overall skin quality.
Because the NAFL system is non-ablative, downtime is minimal, making it ideal for patients seeking noticeable rejuvenation with little interruption to their daily routine.
At The Real You Clinic, we combine medical expertise with the most advanced laser systems available — delivering results that are precise, safe, and tailored to your unique skin concerns.
Our portfolio includes:
Erbium Laser Resurfacing – offering both full ablation and fractional ablation for deep rejuvenation and resurfacing.
Fractional NAFL (Non-Ablative Fractional Laser) – featuring Candela Nordlys Frax 1550 nm and 1940 nm lasers for collagen stimulation, tone correction, and texture improvement.

So glad I found Real You clinic!I was looking at 2 other clinics in London which I didn't feel comfortable using - their … More communication felt very factory like and impersonal, not to mention their expensive quotes for the under eye vein removal treatment I wanted.As soon as I got in touch with Real You, it was a different feeling. I managed to get an appointment shortly after. Dr Kathryn is kind and welcoming, she gives background on herself and her clinic. The clinic itself is very cute, fresh and more of a boutique style set up.Dr Kathryn took the time to explain the treatment, take in depth photos, explain what would happen .etc. I'm very happy with the results and will be going back for other treatments. Highly recommend.
