Laser hair reduction
Laser hair removal is a process of hair removal by which the hair follicle is destroyed by means of exposure to pulses of laser light, performed experimentally for about twenty years before becoming commercially available in the mid-1990s. Laser hair removal is widely practiced in clinics
It was discovered that it is possible to selectively target a specific chromophore with a laser to partially damage basal stem cells inside the hair follicles. This method has proved to be successful and was first applied in 1996 and approved by the FDA in 1997. As this technology continues to be researched, laser hair removal becomes more effective and efficient and is now a common method in removing hair for long periods of time.
The Ellipse Microlight
The Ellipse Microlight system is an IPL system for hair removal treatments and skin rejuvenation. The easy to use system offers a combination of cost effectiveness and efficiency. Lasting and practically pain-free hair removal for all skin types, and remarkably effective skin rejuvenation using Ellipse proven Intense Pulsed Light (I2PL) technology.
Ellipse MicroLight uses carefully selected wavebands of Intense Pulsed Light to achieve specific results. The melanin in the client’s hair absorbs the light from the hair removal applicator and converts it into heat, below the surface of the skin. The hair transmits this heat into the hair follicle, which is then rendered unable to produce a new hair. For dark skin, a special HR-D+ applicator offers safer, more effective absorption in hair of skin types 4–6.
