How does the IPL treatment work?
To achieve long lasting or permanent hair removal, it is necessary to destroy the hair follicle from which individual hairs grow. Controlled pulses of light penetrate the epidermis and are absorbed by melanin in the hair contained in the follicle.
Melanin converts the light energy into heat. This heat is transferred to the hair follicle, which is destroyed, making it unable to produce a new hair. Hair in the resting (telogen stage) are treated later. The treatment is only effective on growing hairs as these are still attached to the follicle. This technique is called “Selective Photothermolysis”.
The visible light produced by Ellipse IPL systems is carefully controlled to ensure the correct pulse length, wavelengths and right amount of energy to destroy the follicle.
Ellipse professional hair removal equipment is suitable for all body areas including arms, underarms, back, chest, bikini line, brazilian as well as legs. This treatment offers painless permanent hair reduction delivering smooth skin for both male and females.
See stunning results!
Every now and again a new treatment comes along that really delivers on its promise! THE BALLANCER® is one such treatment. An anti-ageing body massage technique, The Ballancer® offers an effective answer to many body issues. It’s a versatile, relaxing and invigorating to use. One treatment will leave you with a feeling of well-being and body lightness whilst after a course of treatments you will see stunning results!
Circulatory system Ballancer peristaltic corporal massage will act as an ‘external’ heart. It will enhance blood circulation by gently applying unidirectional peristaltic pressure on peripheral veins. Blood circulation improved, the elimination of toxins is facilitated and more fresh oxygen reaches skin cells.
Digestive system Ballancer will compress and massage the abdomen. The result is relaxation of the abdominal muscles and at the same time a healthy stimulation of the bowel movements and more efficient evacuation of poisonous content.
Lymphatic system Lymphatic flow is enhanced. Lymph flow is improved, both in the peripheral and deep lymph nets. The results are the evacuation of metabolic residuals from the interstitial spaces. The immunological system is benefited as well.
Muscles Ballancer massages the muscles. The peristaltic movement relaxes the muscle, drains it from excessive liquids that are a product of the muscle effort, thus calming muscles spasms.
Skin Ballancer massage will allow open flow of freshly oxygenated blood to the skin layers. Skin will look better, feel better, will regain its tone and will be firmer – visually and physically. If treatments are performed regularly, cellulite will be prevented and even eliminated.
Here are the expected results during and after a typical ballancer treatments course;

What is IPL?
A consultation with a patch test is required before carrying out the treatment in full. Ellipse IPL offers practically painless hair removal .
Using advanced laser technology, the Ellipse IPL system is the perfect solution for unwanted body hair. People sometimes compare or review laser hair removal machines and IPL systems. Well Ellipse are a very successful and long established manufacturer of multi-purpose ipl laser equipment used for a variety of beauty and skin care treatments. It can treat leg veins, lesions, birth marks and help with skin rejuvenation, anti-aging and wrinkle reduction.
Their range of equipment incorporates the award winning Ellipse Intense Pulsed Light (or IPL) technology. Amazingly these machines offer medically certified permanent hair removal! But that’s not all … Ellipse IPL systems are used in the UK to treat unwanted facial hair and unwanted body hair. Using a patented intense pulse light technology, the systems can “zap” the hair in the follicle, thereby literally attacking the root of the problem. The light energy emitted by the IPL reacts with the melanin in the hair and is converted to thermal energy. This permanently cauterizes the vessels at the base of the follicle, preventing hair growth and achieving permanent hair removal for that hair.
The advertising standards agency prevents Ellipse from declaring permanent hair removal so they say that they achieve permanent hair reduction. It is important to remember that hair grows in cycles and we treat the hairs that are in the anagen stage when the hair is fully attached to the root. When damaged in this phase, the follicle is rendered useless and the inability to produce hair growth cells is set.
