Skin Treatments available using Ellipse I2PL technology:

Permanent Hair Reduction

Unwanted hair on all parts of the body (including intimate areas) can be permanently reduced with very little discomfort.

Hair contains pigment (melanin) that absorbs the light and converts it into heat. The hair transmits this heat into the follicle, which is then destroyed and rendered unable to produce a new hair.

Hair growth is cyclical, as hair follicles go through resting and growing phases. Only follicles in the growth phase contain hair and are destroyed by the heat. Resting hair follicles need to enter the growth phase before they can be effectively destroyed by the Ellipse treatment. That is why it is important to repeat the treatment at intervals until all follicles have been through the growth phase.

The length and growth cycles are effected by numerous factors such as body site, hair density, thickness, ethnic origin, hormonal status and age. Clinical studies have confirmed that at least 3-6 treatments are needed and that intervals between treatments are typically 1-3 months. Results found 80% reduction.

The darker the hair the better the result for this treatment. Reddness in the hair can reduce the result and white/blonde hair doesn not respond to the treatment.

Folliculitis caused by ingrown hairs will be a thing of the past and most patients notice a smoother texture of the skin on the treated areas.

Further information on the Ellipse technology and scientific papers on the results can be found at ellipse .

 

Testimonial

 

Yvonne is a 34 year old lady who has been for 3 IPL treatments for removal of unwanted hair on her legs. She was sceptical because her hair was so thick and dark.

She feels, “delighted with the results. My legs are so smooth and I don't even think about hair on them anymore. My young daughter no longer comments that my legs are "jagging" her.”.

Yvonne told me she had been using various hair removal methods since her early teens. When going for a two week holiday she would have them waxed but by the second week they would be growing back in. She had to shave everyday to keep her legs smooth.

Acne Treatment

The best results are achived on inflammatory acne - best known as those red, aching, raised spots. The treatment reduces the blood supply to the sebaceous glands and slows down the overproduction of oil that leads to acne. A typical course of therapy includes 4 treatments, three weeks apart.

Photorejuvenation/Photofacial

This treatment can help your skin look younger and fresher. Age spots, diffuse redness and irregular pore size are all reduced. Collagen production is also stimulated giving the skin treated an improved texture. The face, neck, dіcolletі and hands may all be treated. Normally 1-3 treatments are required around 3-4 weeks apart and you may wish to have 1-2 annual treatments in order to maintain your youthful appearance.

Testimonial

 

Sally is a lady aged 44. 

 “I had three sessions of Ellipse photo-rejuvenation six weeks apart. Treatment was quick and relaxed, only slightly uncomfortable, relieved by the soothing Aloe Vera gel afterwards".

"I noticed that the pores on my problem areas shrunk resulting in the reduction of spots. The texture of my skin has improved, it feels softer and smoother. A small area of sun damage on my cheek has almost disappeared. What I particularly like about the treatment was that it could be done in my lunch hour and I could go about my business as it left me with only slight blushing that resolved within a few hours”
