Shaving, waxing and tweezing have long been a
slow, messy and painful method of hair removal. However since
the introduction of the Ellipse Flex, hair removal can now be
yours in a flash!
How does the treatment work?
Ellipse Flex uses short safe bursts of light emitted from a
flash lamp to remove unwanted hair from all areas of the body in
minutes. The ellipse operator guides the light to the treatment
area and the unique Ellipse Flex system carefully filters this
light in two ways. This is to ensure that only the light with
the correct characteristics is allowed to reach the skin.
Hair contains pigment that absorbs the light and converts it
into heat. This heat is transmitted into the hair follicle which
is then destroyed and is rendered unable o produce a new hair.
Can all Hair be treated?
As the treatment relies on the absorbtion of light in the hair
pigment the most effective treatment is seen on dark hair with
fair skin, however the flex has a preprogrammed setting for
different hair and skin colour.
How long does a treatment take?
Treatment time varies from 5 mins for an upper lip to
approximately 1 hour for a full leg.
Does it hurt?
No anaesthetic is required and most people describe the
sensation as a small pinch that lasts for a fraction of a
second. |
