We use Ellipse Selective Waveband Technology to remove benign epidermal pigmented lesions – eg freckles, moles and other small hyper-pigmented areas – quickly and gently.

Benign pigmented lesions may be genetic in origin or may be caused by physical damage such as sunburn or injury, as well as the natural effect of ageing. The lesions can vary in size and colour. It is always important to ensure that the lesion is not malignant before removing it.

Ellipse treatments offer clinically proven, safe and effective long-term removal of pigmented lesions in the upper layer of skin by directing pulses of light into the epidermis. The light is absorbed by melanin which is concentrated in the pigmented lesions. Melanin converts the light energy into heat. This heat is used to destroy the keratinocatos in which the melanin is stored. This technique is called ‘Selective Photothermolysis’. The visible light produced by the Ellipse systems is carefully controlled to produce the correct pulse length and wavelengths energy to destroy the target without damaging surrounding tissue.

Depending on the client’s specific needs, treatments may be single sessions or a course – typically of 3 sessions at intervals of 4 weeks.
