Hair Removal
Clinically Proven, Safe and Effective

Ellipse hair removal treatment offers clinically-proven, safe and effective long-term removal of unwanted hair.
How does Ellipse treatment work ?
To achieve long lasting or permanent hair removal, it is
necessary to destroy the hair follicle from which individual hairs grow. Well controlled pulses of light penetrate the
upper skin layer and are absorbed by one of the body's own natural chemicals - melanin - in the hair contained in the
follicle.

Melanin converts the light energy into heat. This heat is transferred to the hair follicle, which is destroyed, making it unable to produce a new hair. The treatment is only effective on growing hairs as these are still attached to the follicle. The majority of our hair is in the resting phase which explains why more than one treatment is necessary.

The visible light produced by the Ellipse Flex and Ellipse Light systems are carefully controlled to produce the correct pulse length and right amount of energy to destroy the follicle.
