Ellipse Second Generation
Intense Pulsed Light (I2PL) Treatment
Exposure to the sun accelerates the ageing process of the
skin, and can cause vascular disorders such as
telangiectasias or diffuse redness (which is actually a
large number of small telangiectasias), pigmented disorders,
such as ephelides (freckles) and solar lentigines. It can
also cause irregular pore size.
I2PL treatment of sun damaged skin uses a
technique called “Selective Photothermolysis”.The aim of
treatment using Ellipse Flex is to destroy the pigment
existing in the skin tissues, and to destroy the vessels
supplying the vascular lesions with blood.
The visible light produced by the Ellipse Flex systems is
carefully controlled to produce the correct pulse length and
right amount of energy to destroy the targeted structures
without damaging surrounding tissues.
The Ellipse Flex Photorejuvenation treatment will treat both
diffuse redness and pigmented disorders caused by sun
damage.
Photorejuvenation is quick and simple treatment. The patient
is able to continue with his or her normal daily routine.

Other Methods
Make-up: This is simple, painless and relatively
inexpensive, but it is only a cover-up and requires an
everlasting commitment to maintain the appearance desired by
the patient.
Surgery: No effective traditional surgical method for
treating all the effects of sun-damaged skin exists.
Laser: skin resurfacing can be performed with an
Erbium:YAG or a CO2 laser. This offers a solution, but the
procedure is costly and carries the risk of scarring, hypo-
or hyper-pigmentation, and a potential risk of infection.
Patient downtime is at least 1 – 2 months, and the skin has
to be protected against sun exposure for minimum 3 to 6
months after the treatment.
