For many men and women, hair removal is a never-ending, time-consuming and laborious process, but it needn’t be such a hardship. Ellipse is a state-of-the-art, award-winning treatment. The Ellipse Laser/ SWT Ultimate system – is a Selective Waveband Technology Therapy based treatment that drastically reduces unwanted hair.

To achieve long lasting or permanent hair removal, it is necessary to destroy the hair follicle from which individual hairs grow. Carefully selected and controlled pulses of light penetrate the epidermis and are absorbed by only melanin in the hair contained in the follicle, making it one of the safest treatments in the aesthetic field. This heat is transferred to the hair follicle, which is destroyed, making it unable to produce new hair.

This treatment offers practically, painless permanent hair reduction delivering touchable, soft, smooth skin.
