Ellipse Second Generation Intense Pulsed Light (I²PL) Treatment To achieve long lasting or permanent hair removal, it is necessary to destroy the hair follicle from which individual hairs grow. Well controlled pulses of light can penetrate the upper skin layer and be absorbed by one of the body's own natural chemicals - melanin - in the hair confined in the follicle. Melanin converts the light energy it absorbs into heat. This heat is transferred to the hair follicle, which is destroyed, making it unable to produce a new hair. This technique has the name "Selective Photothermolysis. The visible light produced by the Ellipse Flex and Ellipse Light systems are carefully controlled to produce the correct pulse length and right amount of energy to destroy the follicle. For further information regarding hair removal and I²PL systems, please read the following articles written by Dr. Agneta Troilius, Dr. Carl Troilius and Professor Peter Bjerring: Dr. Troilius' article about hair removal and I²PL Professor Bjerring's article about hair removal and I²PL If you are looking for further information, please try Frequently asked questions Other Hair Removal Methods Shaving: This is simple, inexpensive and painless, but requires a lifetime commitment to maintain a hair-free appearance. It can result in stubble and possible skin irritation. Plucking: Gives a nicer appearance than shaving, but it is tedious, painful and complicated, especially for larger areas like legs and back. Waxing: Can cover bigger areas;the result may last for a month or more. The process is painful and can cause allergic reactions and inflammation of the hair follicles. Needle epilation: Uses an electrified needle inserted into each hair follicle. Done professionally, it offers long term /permanent hair removal. However,each hair must be individually treated, it is painful and it may result in scars. Many treatments are needed – sometimes more than 20. Laser: Uses the same "Selective Photothermolysis" technique as IPL. This converts light from the laser into heat in the hair follicles, leading to destruction of the hair and follicle. The light is monochromatic (only one wavelength). Typically the light is delivered in a spot only a few millimetres in diameter. To treat larger areas, the spot has to be moved many times – which takes time and leaves a risk of missed hairs. The use of light energy to destroy hair follicles revolutionised hair removal, and led to the development of IPL.
