Beauty Haven Belfast now offers Permanent Hair Reduction. Our method is practically painless and removes unwanted hair quickly and effectively. Many dream of a body free from embarrassing and unsightly hair. Attempts to realise this dream have led to a great deal of effort, not to mention suffering, in the use of razor blades, electric shavers or the more painful methods of tweezers, wax or needle electrolysis. And as a rule, all this energy is wasted as the hair soon grows back. The effective Ellipse treatment is therefore sure to receive an enthusiastic welcome from all those with embarrassing body hair. Ellipse offers fast, safe and practically painless permanent hair reduction. Ellipse treatment is gentle and practically painless. The process uses light, which is absorbed by the pigment in the individual hairs. The pigment converts the light to heat, a process, which disables the ability of the hair follicle to continue growing. It does not hurt. The most discomfort experienced is a tingling sensation, which soon passes. The Ellipse system is developed and produced in Denmark. The time taken depends on the size of the area being treated. A minor facial treatment, e.g. removal of upper lip hair, can be completed in about 10 minutes while an entire back or both legs can take one to two hours. Ellipse treatment only works on hair in the growth phases. This means that three to six sessions at intervals of a couple of months are required for optimal results. To get the most out of the Ellipse treatment, other hair removal methods should be avoided for a month before sessions begin, as should tanning before and during the entire treatment scenario. There are virtually no side effects but the treated area is sensitive to sun and should be protected with a good sun block, at least factor 20, for the first few weeks following completed treatment. In addition to Permanent Hair Reduction, the Ellipse system also performs, Facial Thread Vein Removal, Skin Rejuvenation (removal of sun damaged and pigmentation) and acne clearance treatment.

The simple passage of time together with the pleasures and stresses of life tends to cause our skin to appear older. Signs of aging are typically most visible on a persons face. Whilst treatment creams, regular facials or even surgery exists to improve facial flaws we are always looking for dramatic improvements with low risk and no `downtime'. Finally there is an answer the Ellipse Skin Rejuvenation treatment. Ellipse Skin Rejuvenation treatment is non-invasive treatment used to erase skin damage without disruption of the skin's surface. The Skin Rejuvenation treatment is ideal for clients who find they have skin discolouration, sun damage, age spots, mottled pigmentation, dull complexions, diffused redness (high colour) and the symptoms of rosacea and large pores. The Ellipse Skin rejuvenation treatment stimulates collagen production in the dermis, which in turn produces an anti-aging effect on the treatment area. Clients notice their skin looks smoother and younger, fine lines and wrinkles appear reduced and make-up goes on more evenly. The Skin Rejuvenation treatment with Ellipse is a major advantage for those clients who want great results without long recovery times. The most common area for treatment is the face, however the treatment can be successfully used on the neck, chest and hands as these areas are regularly exposed to the sun, through day to day activities. A full consultation and patch test is carried out prior to treatment to establish eligibility of the client. The treatment time averages approximately 45 minutes for face and chest, 30 minutes for face only and 15 minutes for hands. Treatments should be performed once every 4-6 weeks. Clients will experience a warm sensation whilst the treatment is in progress. Once the treatment is completed the sensation stops. A mild erythema/redness is normal immediately after treatment and subsides quickly. When treating areas of pigmentation it would be normal for the client to experience the pigment darkening over the next few days after treatment. We recommend that sun beds and sun bathing are avoided for the next 4 weeks and all heat treatments and perfumed products are avoided for 24-48 hours. Results can be noticed after just one treatment however to achieve the best results a course of six treatments is recommended. Treatments should be carried out at monthly intervals.

Are you constantly checking your make-up? Do you cover your red facial veins daily? You don’t have to try to cover your thread veins anymore. Clinically tested and safe Ellipse treatment can help! 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. How long does an Ellipse treatment take? Timing will depend on the amount of facial thread veins present. A single session typically lasts 10-20 minutes. Including consultation and preparation, you should count on 30-45 minutes in the clinic. How many treatments are necessary? The number of treatments depends on the severity of the thread vein. Clinical studies have confirmed that 1-4 treatments usually are needed, and these are timed about one month apart.

There are many myths about the cause of acne. Some people think that the incidence of acne is higher if you eat foods like chocolate or French fries. Others think the presence of acne is due to poor hygiene. Neither is true. Acne is caused by the body’s increased production of the hormone androgen, which stimulates the sebaceous glands to produce more oil. The increased production of oil cannot come up to the skin surface. The acne itself is an infection caused by skin bacteria that feed on and break down the oil. As the bacteria multiply, waste products and sebacic acid are created and the sebaceous gland becomes inflamed- causing what is known as a blackhead, a whitehead or a pimple. But now – with the clinically tested and safe Ellipse treatment – help is at hand! How does the Ellipse Acne treatment work? The Ellipse IPL carefully filters its light energy. The light that is allowed through is absorbed by hemoglobin, which is the red pigment in blood. The light from the flash lamp heats up the hemoglobin in the fine blood vessels that supply the sebaceous glands. This causes a minor injury to the sebaceous !
