VASCULAR LESIONS

Remove your thread veins safely and effectively

Are you constantly checking your make-up or always wearing dark tights? You don’t have to try to cover your thread veins anymore. Ellipse uses short bursts of safe, visible light emitted from a flash-lamp to quickly remove those thin, spidery veins (technically called telangiectasias) from your face or legs. Spider nevi and Port Wine Stains can also be treated.

How Ellipse treatment works

The vessels to be treated are found near the surface of the skin. The Ellipse operator guides the visible light from the flash-lamp to the blood vessels needing treatment. The unique Ellipse system carefully filters this light in two ways to ensure that only light with the correct wavelengths is allowed to reach your skin.

Blood contains haemoglobin that absorbs the light and converts it into heat. This heat destroys the protein in the wall of the thread vein. As a result the veins will gradually, and safely, disappear after treatment.

To ensure optimal light transmission to the blood vessel, a thin layer of gel (similar to that used in ultrasound examinations) is applied to your skin before treatment.
