The
Ellipse I²PL treatment works by directing well-controlled pulses of
light into the upper skin layer. The light is absorbed by two of the
body’s own natural chemicals – melanin in the pigmented areas and
haemoglobin in the red blood cells.
Both these pigments convert the light energy into heat. This heat is
used to destroy the parts of the cells in which the melanin is stored,
and to damage the walls of the vessels supplying blood to the areas
where vascular damage is seen. This technique is called “Selective
Photothermolysis”.
The visible light produced by the Ellipse I²PL system is carefully
controlled to produce the correct pulse length and right amount of
energy to destroy the targets without damaging surrounding tissue.
The Ellipse I²PL photo rejuvenation treatment will additionally treat larger telangiectasias (individually visible vessels).
Photo rejuvenation is a quick and simple treatment that does not
interfere with your normal daily routine, repairing sun-damage found on
the face, neck, chest and hands.
