| Smooth Skin Solutions From Ellipse |
For many women hair removal is a never ending, time consuming and laborious process, but it needn’t be such a hardship. Ellipse IPL have created an Intense Pulse Light Therapy based treatment that drastically reduces unwanted hair.
The treatment works by targeting the melanin (pigment) in the hair with the light from the system, and upon absorption the light is converted into heat. This intense heat action breaks down the hair follicle, reducing the opportunity for any re-growth and also changing the entire structure of the follicle itself; overtime altering the density and appearance of the hair until it becomes unnoticeable.
Prior to treatment the area is shaved before a thin layer of protective gel (similar to that used in ultra sound) is applied to maximise absorption.
Finally the Ellipse IPL is run over the area and a succession of light pulses are filtered into the hair follicle. The unique square head technology used in Ellipse treatments offer precision and accuracy that ensures that any risk of side effects is minimal. Any potentially harmful wave lengths are removed via the Unique Dual Filtering system, meaning that the light used is completely safe and visible.
Hair grows in three different cycles and the Ellipse Permanent Hair Reduction can only successfully treat hair during its growth stage. Therefore it is often necessary to undergo a course of 6-12 treatments ensuring that you leave at least 4-8 weeks between each session initially, and then only repeat as and when the hair returns.
To ensure as many hair follicles are targeted as possible it is also important not to undergo any hair removal for at least four weeks before the appointment or during the course of treatment. The same rule applies to any sun treatments, as a tan will raise the pigment level in the skin and have a severe effect on the treatments success.
Skin type is a fundamental effecting factor in this treatment as due to the high level of pigment in the skin darker skin tones often experience more pain during treatment though generally it has been compared to the sensation of a rubber band pinging on your skin.
In the past there have been cases of darker skin’s experiencing burning and as a result many salons do not offer this treatment to those of colour. |

However Ellipse uses the revolutionary HRD applicator to control the light levels used and prevent any side effects to darker skins. This groundbreaking technology allows them to offer IPL hair removal to darker skins.
With the Ellipse IPL Permanent Hair Reduction there is little post-treatment care required. Although people with sensitive skin may benefit from using a soothing cream for a few days following treatment, the Ellipse IPL Soothing Gel will do this as well as reducing any potential redness or swelling.
Ellipse offers a fantastic investment opportunity guaranteeing permanent hair reduction. |
| Hair Removal - Questions and Answers |
Who is it for?
We can effectively treat all skin types for a reduction in hair growth as long as the hair colour is darker than the skin and the client is over 18 years of age.
The treatment is perfect for anybody that requires hair reduction on an unwanted area.
What does it do?
The light picks up the colour (melanin) in the bulb/hair and destroys the root of the hair to reduce hair growth in unwanted areas. You can expect to receive a long term 85% reduction in the entire hair growth.
How long does it take?
We usually suggest 6 to 12 treatments for hair removal.
Treatments are carried out every 4-6 weeks for the face and 6-8 weeks for the body.
What happens in between treatments?
In between each session you will have a fall out phase; this is usually 1-3 weeks after a session.
The hair sheds away and you are left with a smooth finish. A couple of weeks later the hair begins to re grow, it becomes softer, finer and is reduced by around 20% of the entire growth each time.
How does the treatment feel?
The general feeling is a short, sharp heat for a split second on the skin. The sensation is quite mild.
Is there any after care?
We recommend that you avoid heat treatments including hot baths, saunas, and steam rooms for 24-48 hours.
You MUST avoid the sun and sun beds for 30 days before and after treatments.
Factor 30+ must be worn to reduce this risk.
Fake tanning products can be used 2 weeks either side of a treatment but must be completely removed before the next session.
How do I start?
Firstly you must book an appointment with the clinic for a consultation; these are usually free of charge. The therapist will go through a few medical questionnaires with you to see if you are eligible for the treatment.
Following this, she will explain to you in full detail what the treatment entails and answer any questions for you.
A patch test on the area will then be carried out to check for any skin sensitivity to light treatments.
This will also give you a chance to experience the sensation of the light on your skin so that you know what to expect when coming in for your first treatment.
Anything else?
The hair must only be shaved during the treatments.
No plucking, waxing, bleaching, threading or hair removal creams are allowed.
We cannot treat any area which has been exposed to the sun within 30 days of the treatment and cannot treat you if you are going into the sun 30 following the treatment.
SPF 30+ MUST be worn on the area before and after treatments.
