Suitable for men and Women
Great results have been achieved for area's such as men's back. As you can see the person here just had half a back treated to test the results.
How does the Ellipse work?
The visible light from the flash lamp 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 new hair.
How long does an Ellipse treatment take?
The glass prism which guides the light to the skin is 1cm by 5cm so a large number of hairs are targeted in one flash of light. A facial treatment takes around 20 mins whereas a back or both legs can take between 45 - 90 minutes.
Does it hurt?
No anaesthetics are required and most people describe the sensation as similar to that of a rubber band snapping against the skin.
How many Ellipse treatments do I need?
Hair growth is cyclical as hair follicles go through resting and growing phases. Only follicles in the growth phase contain hair that can be destroyed by the heat. Resting hair follicles need to enter the growth phase before they can be destroyed by the Ellipse treatment. It is therefore necessary to repeat the treatment at intervals until all hair follicles have been through the growth phase.
The length and timing of the growth cycles are affected by numerous factors such as body site, hair density, thickness, ethnic origin, hormonal status and age. Usually 5 - 12 treatments are needed and the intervals between treatments are typically 5 - 8 weeks.
