How many treatments are needed for permanent hair removal?

No-one can guarantee permanent removal of all hairs. It is possible to remove the hairs, but not the reason that hairs grow. It is better to think of hair reduction (hair management) than hair removal. Only hairs in the growing phase can be treated, successfully with Ellipse. The length and timing of the growth cycles are affected by numerous factors such as body site, hair density, thickness, ethnic origin, hormonal level and age. Usually 3 – 6 treatments are needed and the intervals between treatments are typically 1 – 3 months.
