This cutting-edge laser treatment removes many types of vascular lesions such as telangiectasias and hemangiomas. More commonly known as broken or ‘spider’ veins, or the larger ‘port wine stains’ these lesions can be present from birth, or develop with with age or as the result of environmental damage such as sun exposure.

Historically covered with make up, the Ellipse Selective Waveband Technology offers a clinically proven and effective treatment to remove many vascular lesions, either on its own or as a follow up treatment to sclerotherapy.

It works by directing well controlled pulses of light into the upper skin. The light is absorbed by one of the body’s own natural substances – haemoglobin – contained in the red blood cells. Haemoglobin converts the light energy into heat. This heat is transferred to the walls of the blood vessels, which are permanently damaged and removed by the body’s own defence mechanism. The method of converting light to heat and using it to destroy the target without damaging the surrounding tissue is called Selective Photothermolysis.

The visible light produced by the Ellipse SWT systems is carefully controlled to produce the correct pulse length and right amount of energy to destroy the vessel.

Best results are obtained on patients who have light to medium skin. All treatment sessions are 30 minutes.
