How does the Ellipse facial thread vein treatment work?
A thread vein is a small blood vessel 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 I²PL system carefully filters this light in two ways to ensure that only light with correct characteristics (wavelengths) is allowed to reach your skin. Blood contains hemoglobin 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 vein will gradually and safely disappear after treatment.
