Sun exposure decreases the production of collagen, which in turn causes damage to the skin making it feel wrinkled and coarse and looking red and tired.
Skin Rejuvenation using Safe Light Technology (IPL)
Our Skin Rejuvenation treatment rejuvenates the skin using industry renowned light based technology, without the need for injections used in similar procedures. All parts of the skin and body can be treated using the safe, visible light in Ellipse’s technology, leaving you looking younger and fresher with the skin feeling smoother by removing age spots, sun damage and diffused redness. Uneven pigmentation is also reduced, many female patients reported that it becomes easier to apply make up following treatment.
This unique technology carefully filters the light to ensure that only clinically relevant wavelengths reach the skin, meaning optimum safety in the procedure. Naturally, the body responds to this safe and visible light to absorb it to the targeted area.
Suitable for All Skin Tones
The skin rejuvenation is based on light absorption in melanin and haemoglobin, therefore treatments are more effective on light skin that is not sun tanned at the time of treatment. However, Ellipse has pre-programmed settings for each treatment so all skin tones can ensure they will receive the correct energy output for their complexion.
Age spots contain a substance called melanin, and diffuse redness contains a substance called haemoglobin. When cells containing lots of these substances are targeted with the IPL light, they disappear almost immediately and the results will astound you !
Painless and Short Skin Treatment
A full-face treatment should take less than 20 minutes and the skin will look rejuvenated after 1-3 treatments, depending on the severity of treatment required. The procedure is painless, although darker skin may experience a sensation similar to that of the warming feeling one has after a day on the beach.
There is no other post-treatment care required other than a sunscreen (minimum SPF30) for a month following treatment.

Facial Thread Veins
A large proportion of the population suffer from disorders of blood vessel, ranging in size from small telangiectasias (small thread veins, spider naevi) to larger Port Wine Stains or birth marks. The Ellipse IPL treatment offers an effective and clinically proven therapy to remove these lesions.
Thread Veins on most parts of the body can be treated. The most common treatments are for superficial veins on the face, neck and chest areas. As the treatment relies on absorption of light by the haemoglobin in the blood, the most effective results are seen with light skin. The lighter the skin, the more pronounced the contrast between the vessel and the skin, making treatment easier. However, Ellipse has pre-programmed settings for different skin colours that deliver the correct energy output for your complexion.
How long does an Ellipse treatment take?
The glass prism within the Ellipse applicator that guides the light to the skin is 10mm by 48mm, so several vessels can be targeted in one flash of light. The treatment time depends on the area to be covered and the number of distinct vessels to be treated. A single session typically lasts 10-20 minutes.
Does it hurt?
Tolerance of pain is very individual from person to person. No anaesthetics are required, and most people describe the sensation as similar to that of a rubber band snapping onto the skin, followed by a warm sensation lasting several minutes. You may find it comforting to cool the skin after the treatment.
Do I need to take special precautions before and after treatment?
The light used is completely safe, visible light. Potentially harmful wavelengths are removed by the unique Ellipse Dual Mode Filtering system. Since tanning takes place by accumulation of pigment (melanin) in the skin, it is, however, important to avoid tanning (sun, solarium or self-tanning cream) before and during the treatment period. Otherwise your tanned skin will absorb more light, which makes treatment less effective. Generally, no post-treatment care is needed. But people with sensitive skin may benefit from using a soothing cream for a few days after treatment. We recommend you limit sun exposure and use a sunscreen (SPF 60) for a few weeks following treatment. After treatment of thread veins on the legs, compression (surgical) stockings should be worn for two weeks. If larger veins on the leg have already been treated (surgery or sclerotherapy), Ellipse treatment should be delayed for at least one month to allow the healing process to be complete first.
How many Ellipse treatments do I need?
The number of treatments depends on the body site and the severity of the thread vein. Clinical studies have confirmed that 1-4 treatments usually are needed, and these are timed about one month apart.
How can I be sure Ellipse is safe and effective?
Clinical trials documenting Ellipse’s safety and effectiveness are carried out by leading doctors prior to the release of the product. The results of these tests are then published in respected, refereed medical journals. You are welcome to view these scientific papers on the Ellipse website at www.ellipse.org. The settings used for your treatment will be based on the settings recommended by the clinicians who carried out the clinical trials.

Acne Clearance by Laser (IPL)
Acne Laser Treatment to facial area
Acne is mainly caused by the body’s increased production of the hormone androgen (a male hormone that is present in both men and women), which stimulates the sebaceous gland to produce excessive oil, thus causing the pores to become blocked and preventing the oil from coming up to the skins surface. The blocked pore allows bacteria to feed on and break down the oil, producing spots on the skin’s surface.
Treating Acne With Pulsed Laser Technology
Our acne treatment gets straight to the root of the problem. This unique treatment uses specifically selected wavelengths and optimised pulse duration and shape. The light is absorbed by haemoglobin, the red pigment in the blood, which then heats the area producing a minor reaction to the sebaceous glands. This in turn slows down the overall production of oil that leads to acne, thus dramatically reducing the chance of spots and minimising the appearance of pores in general.
A Fast and Non-Invasive Procedure
The best results are achieved on inflammatory acne, best known as the raised, red pimples. The procedure is non-invasive since the applicator only lightly touches the skin’s surface, making it relatively painless. Tolerance of pain is very individual but it has been described by many as the warm feeling one has after a day on the beach.
