The Elipse IPL (intense Pulsed light) treatment can remove excessive hair in a variety of areas, including upper lip, chin, legs, bikini area, underarms, back and shoulders.
The Nordlys system permanently reduces unwanted hair by delivering short safe bursts of Elipse IPL directed at the target site. The emitted light is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in your hair. Melanin converts the light into heat, which travels down the hair toward the root. This heats the hair matrix, preventing future growth.
The number of treatments depend on the location and the cycle of your hair and location of your hair because every hair grows for a period of time. You may need to repeat the treatment at intervals until all hair follicles have been treated while growing.
Clinical studies have shown that 3-6 treatments are needed, and typically the intervals between treatments are 1-3 months.
Treatment is most effective on dark hair. Light blond, red, grey, and white hairs may not respond to treatment. Most skin colors can be treated.
