Permanent Hair Reduction - Intense Pulsed Light

Get rid of unwanted hair quickly & safely using the Ellipse System - which uses safe, visible light to remove unwanted hair from all body sites in minutes.

How does the Ellipse treatment work?

Intense pulsed light uses visible light from a flash lamp which is guided via a glass prism to the hairy area. Hair contains pigment (melanin) that absorbs the light and converts it into heat. This heat is led through the hair into the follicle, which is then destroyed and rendered unable to produce a new hair.
Usually 3-6 treatments are needed to gain a highly satisfactory result and the intervals between treatments are typically 1-3 months.

It is important not to remove the hair by electrolysis or waxing for 4 weeks prior to treatment to ensure that as many hair folicles as possible contain a hair and thus can be destroyed by the light.
Since tanning takes place by accumulation of pigment (melanin) in the skin it is also important to avoid tanning before and during treatment sessions.
