• How does it work?

  The visible light from the flash lamp is guided via a glass prism to the treatment area. Hair containing pigment (melanin) absorbs the light and converts it into heat. This heat is led through the hair into the hair follicle which is then destroyed and rendered unable to produce a new hair.

• Will it hurt?

  No aesthetic is required and most people describe the sensation as similar to that of a rubber band snapping onto the skin.

• What can I expect?

  Results vary dramatically between patients, however there are always noticeable results. Please see the Before and After pictures to the right for samples of how well the reductions have gone.

• How does it work?

  The flashlamp in the unique ELLIPSE IPL system produces light that is carefully filtered in two ways to ensure that only light with the correct characteristics (wavelengths) is allowed to reach your skin.

  Age spots contain a substance called melanin, and blood vessels contain a substance called haemaglobin. When cells containing a lot of of melanin or haemaglobin are hit with the right type of light, they heat up and are destroyed within a few thousandths of one second.

• Will it hurt?

  Tolerance of pain is very individual from person to person. No anaesthetic is required, and many clients describe the discomfort as a warming sensation similar to the feeling one has after a day on the beach. The lighter the skin colour the less pain.

• 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 skin looks smoother and fresher. You might choose to have 1-2 annual maintenance treatments in order to keep your youthful appearance.

• How does it work?

  Blood contains haemaglobin that absorbs the light and converts it into heat. This heat destroys the protien in the wall of the thread vein. As a result the veins will gradually, and safely, disappear after treatment.

• Will it hurt?

  Tolerance of pain is very individual from person to person. No anaesthetic is required, and most people describe the sensation as similar to that of an elastic bandsnapping onto the skin, followed by a warm sensation lasting several minutes.

• What can I expect?

  The number of treatments depends on thebody site and the severity of the thread vein. Usually 1-4 treatments are required, and these are timed about one month apart.
