Most people would like to keep a young and fresh look forever
This is not easy, as our skin ages due to excessive sun exposure and decreased production of collagen. Skin rejuvenation treatment with ellipse helps you keep a younger and fresher look. The safe, visible light emitted from the Ellipse flash-lamp makes your face look smoother by removing age spots and diffuse redness and by improving your skin texture. Uneven pigmentation is also reduced. Many women report that it becomes easier to apply makeup.
How does ellipse treatment work?
The flash-lamp in the unique ellipse IPL system produces light that is carefully filtered in two ways to ensure that only light with the correct characteristics ((wavelength) is allowed to reach your skin. The light that is allowed through has been chosen because it is the sort the two natural body substances respond to. Age spots contain a substance called melanin, and diffuse redness contains a substance called hemoglobin. When cells containing a lot of melanin or hemoglobin are hit with the right type of light, they heat up and are destroyed within a few thousandths of one second.
Can I be treated?
As skin rejuvenation is based on light absorption in melanin and hemoglobin, treatments are most efficient in patients with light skin who are not sun-tanned at the time of the treatment. The lighter the skin, the more pronounced the contrast between the age spot/blood vessels and the skin, making treatment easier. However, Ellipse has pre-programmed settings for different skin colors that deliver the correct energy output for your complexion.
What can I expect?
You may notice that the skin looks a little “dirty” for a few days following treatment. After that you will find that your kin looks smoother and fresher. You might choose to have 1-2 annual maintenance treatments in order to keep your youthful appearance.
Generally, no post-treatment care is necessary. But people with sensitive skin may benefit from applying an ice pack to the face immediately after treatment or applying an ointment prescribed by the doctor. Furthermore, it is recommended to use a sunscreen (minimum SPF 60) for a few weeks following treatment.
