PIGMENTED LESIONS

Remove pigmented lesions safely and effectively

The most common ways to deal with pigmented lesions have been makeup, surgery and lasers. Makeup is simple, inexpensive and painless – but it is only a cover-up and requires an everlasting commitment. Surgical treatment of pigmented lesions has shown mixed success, often with scarring as an adverse effect. Lasers can indeed produce good results, however many lasers are specific to only one particular type of lesion. Ellipse treatment offers clinically proven, long-term removal of many types of pigmented lesions in the upper layer of skin.

How Ellipse treatment works

Ellipse treatment works by directing well-controlled pulses of light into the upper skin layer. The light is absorbed by one of the body's own natural chemicals – melanin – which is concentrated in the pigmented areas.

Melanin converts the light energy it absorbs into heat. This heat is used to destroy the parts of the cells in which the melanin is stored. This technique has the name "Selective Photothermolysis."

The visible light produced by the Ellipse device is carefully controlled to produce the correct pulse length and right amount of energy to destroy the target without damaging surrounding tissues.
