Ellipse IPL™

The Candela Nordlys Ellipse™ IPL procedure treats various skin concerns. Without damaging the skin, the light penetrates through the skin and is absorbed by the haemoglobin in dilated capillaries or the melanin of the pigmented lesion. The heat causes the lesion to fragment and the dilated capillaries to close. It also stimulates the formation of new collagen and elastin which in turn improves the appearance of fine lines and overall skin texture. The treatment can be performed on the face, neck, chest, hands, arms and back.

It is therefore, amazing for the treatment of:

  • uneven skin tone
  • hyperpigmentation
  • freckles
  • sun spots
  • diffused redness
  • dilated blood vessels

Many of our clients see a significant reduction in hair growth from the first treatment, however every one is different. We offer successful treatments to a vast range of skin types and hair colours but are unable to treat red, white or grey hair.

Laser hair removal targets the hair during the active growth phase. Due to the fact that hair grows in ‘cycles’, you may require between six to twelve treatments, timed 4-6 weeks apart to achieve the desired result. However, you will notice hair growth is finer and less even from the first treatment.

You will experience very little or no downtime, which means that there will be almost no visible evidence of your treatment. You may find the treatment uncomfortable, but not painful. Post-treatment your skin may be a little red, resembling a mild sunburn, but this should resolve within 12 hours.
