Laser Hair Removal (Nordlys Ellipse) Information
..
Conditions or Concerns Laser Hair Removal Treats
Laser hair removal targets and destroys hair follicles to reduce unwanted hair. It can be used on nearly all areas of the body, including face, upper lip, chin, underarms, arms, chest, back, abdomen, bikini area, thighs, and legs. It is effective for reducing thick, coarse hair as well as finer hair, with long-lasting results.
The Procedure or Technique(s) Used for Laser Hair Removal
Dr. Ali uses the advanced Nordlys Ellipse IPL laser hair removal system for it’s safety, comfort, speed and effectiveness – as well as suitability for both dark / course and fine / fair hair, and lighter and darker skin tones.
Nordlys Ellipse laser hair removal delivers controlled pulses of light that are absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle. The heat damages the follicle, preventing future hair growth. Multiple sessions are needed to treat hairs in all growth cycles – because different hair follicles are in different growth phases at different times.
Does Laser Hair Removal Hurt – Anesthetic/Numbing Used
Nordlys Ellipse laser hair removal is not painful and is typically well tolerated without the need for numbing. Patients often describe it as a snapping sensation similar to a rubber band. Nordlys Ellipse laser hair removal incorporates a cooling technology that enhances comfort. However, numbing cream can be applied if desired.
How Long Laser Hair Removal Takes
Nordlys Ellipse laser hair removal sessions take 15 minutes for small areas like the upper lip, and up to 60 minutes for large areas like the back or legs.
How Long Recovery from Laser Hair Removal Takes
There is no downtime after Nordlys Ellipse laser hair removal. Patients may experience temporary redness or sensitivity, which usually resolves in a few hours.
Laser Hair Removal vs Electrolysis
Electrolysis treats one hair at a time by inserting a probe into each follicle, which is extremely time-consuming and very uncomfortable. Laser hair removal treats multiple hairs at once, making it faster and more efficient. Laser hair removal also covers larger areas and is less invasive than electrolysis.
Why Nordlys Ellipse IPL is Better than Other Lasers
The Nordlys Ellipse IPL system uses advanced selective waveband technology for superior precision and safety. It is effective for lighter hair and safe for darker skin tones, unlike many traditional hair removal lasers.
How Long Laser Hair Removal Lasts
Nordlys Ellipse laser hair removal provides permanent reduction in hair growth after a series of sessions. Maintenance treatments may be needed occasionally.
Cost of Laser Hair Removal
Each patient’s laser hair removal needs are unique – depending on the size of the area, hair thickness, and number of sessions required. Therefore, the cost of laser hair removal will vary. During consultation, we will recommend the best plan for your needs and provide the cost.
