Easy, cost-effective, fast and safe Unique features to improve your performance The Ellipse MultiFlex + offers a choice of eight specialized I 2 PL applicators and an Nd:YAG applicator. Any two applicators can be connected to the system simultaneously. Cost effective The innovative PLUS series of I 2 PL applicators (marked with + ) are designed for unsurpassed lifetime. To ensure fixed and low running costs these applicators operate on a pay per shot principle. Every time an applicator shot is released a credit is drawn. When the stored credits are low, further credits can be purchased to top up the account. It is only necessary to return applicators in the rare event these need physical refurbishment. And when this happens standard refurbishment is free of charge. Introduction of the unique HR-L + places Ellipse as number one in hair removal. occasional water refills and air filter cleaning.

Every treatment is automatically logged in the database. This saves time when subsequent treatments are carried out. On-screen access to the entire instruction manual is available to users. Thanks to the intuitive user interface in local language, getting started with Ellipse MultiFlex + is easy. No need for smoke evacuators, external cooling systems or other additional equipment. Dependable Apart from preventative maintenance, the system itself requires only This has resulted in probably the most reliable system on the market. The documented mean time between hardware failures (MTBF) is over 7 years and is constantly improving. 3
Advanced I 2 PL technology providing comfort and clinical results Superior and proven performance Ellipse MultiFlex + features a unique combination of two advanced, scientifically documented Intense Pulsed Light technologies: Dual Mode Filtering and Square Pulse Technology (see diagrams to the right). Documented results Leading physicians have been actively involved in the development of the Ellipse MultiFlex +. Peer-reviewed clinical studies have thoroughly documented Ellipse s safety and effectiveness from the start. Ellipse s unique Dual Mode Filtering eliminates unecessary and potentially harmful wavelengths, allowing only those wavelengths that are beneficial to treatment. The Ellipse IPL system provides me with hair removal capacity that easily rivals some of the best hair removal treatments from the leading laser systems on the market. The easy user interface enables me to adjust any of the client parameters such as skin type, degree of suntan and hair thickness. Zakia Rahman, MD FAAD.

Wide range of pre-set treatments and innovative PLUS applicators The flexibility to evolve with your needs MultiFlex + is pre-set for a wide range of medical indications enabling you to meet clients needs effectively. Remove unwanted hair in minutes Treatment of the back or both legs with the large footprint HR-L + applicator takes less than 20 minutes. Skin types 4-6 can be safely treated with the HR-D + applicator. For delicate areas such as eyebrows, an HR-S applicator with a small spot size is also available Remove vascular lesions safely and effectively The choice between Nd:YAG and I 2 PL applicators enables removal of practically any type of vascular lesions, ranging from leg and facial telangiectasia, to haemangioma, venous lakes and port wine stains, as well as red scars, striae and much more. Using Ellipse technology, only a single pass per treatment is needed. This gives you high client throughput with a high return on investment. Remove pigmented lesions gently The small PL-applicator has an 8mm diameter spot size, which allows you to treat pigmented lesions accurately without affecting the surrounding skin. Larger areas can be treated with the PL-W applicator. Treat sun-damage on the face and body Photo rejuvenation treatment removes age spots and telangiectasia, diffuse redness and uneven pigmentation. Facial treatments are most popular, but all parts of the body can be treated. Improve skin texture; reduce pore size and fine lines By stimulating collagen production, Ellipse MultiFlex + can reduce fine lines and pore size while improving skin quality. Treat acne without antibiotics Patients with acne vulgaris can benefit from treatment with Ellipse MultiFlex +. Ellipse acne treatment can be used in combination with adapalene cream or gel. Wrinkle reduction/pdt The PL-W applicator covers all five protoporphyrin absorption peaks making it an ideal research tool for PDT treatments involving 5-ALA. Research papers document its effectiveness in conditions such as actinic keratosis, acne and wrinkle reduction.

Speed, economy and comfort are second to none Nd:YAG designed for comfort and efficacy While I 2 PL works effectively for many treatments, certain vascular indications are better suited to treat with an Nd:YAG laser. The MultiFlex + applicator is presently CE-cleared for treatment of leg veins, leg and facial telangiectasias, facial reticular veins, resistant port wine stains and venous lakes (FDA clearance is pending). Greater comfort Because the Ellipse MultiFlex + employs a new, patent pending SoftCool air cooling system, patients experience more comfort with the Ellipse Nd:YAG treatment than with many other laser systems applying contact or spray cooling. A focused stream of cool air efficiently removes excessive heat by pre-, peri and post cooling. This makes an Ellipse MultiFlex + Nd:YAG treatment more easy to tolerate than many alternative Nd:YAG treatments. Low running costs Many laser systems rely on expensive cryogen spray for cooling. With SoftCool, the Ellipse MultiFlex + produces its own stream of cooled, focused air at no additional cost and without any bulky accessories. Since the cooling device is fully integrated in the system, there is no need for an extra operator during procedures. Safe delegation The MultiFlex + Nd:YAG applicator is supported by built-in clinical intelligence that ensures effective treatment and reduces the risk of side effects. Based on the operator s evaluation of patient parameters (e.g. vessel size and colour), the Ellipse MultiFlex + chooses appropriate settings, such as spot size, energy level and pulse time. This enables physicians to safely delegate treatments. Operator friendly The ergonomic applicator has been designed in close collaboration with leading dermatologists to ensure minimum operator fatigue. Easy to operate, it utilises an adjustable white working light eliminating the need for a head lamp. SoftCool cooling ensures greater patient comfort and lower running costs. No extra operators are needed. Excellent visibility Rather than illuminating the entire treatment area in red, the Ellipse Multi- Flex + uses an adjustable red aiming beam to pinpoint the centre of the treatment spot. This makes it easy to distinguish the veins. What I like about the MultiFlex platform is the fact that I can treat all vascular indications with a single system. When dealing with homogenous redness like PWS, rosacea or fine telangiectasias, I use the I²PL (PR or VL applicator). For leg veins or thicker telangiectasias I use the Nd:YAG applicator. All three options in a single system! Prof. Dr. med. Michael Drosner, Haut & Laser, Schwerin, Germany Variable spot size Most other Nd:YAG applicators require manual exchange of lenses for spot size modification. With the Ellipse Multi- Flex + Nd:YAG, an adjustable lens system allows the advanced user to adjust spot size from 1.5 to 5mm in intervals of 0.5mm without interrupting the treatment. 6
Remarkable results after few treatments Outstanding results ensure satisfied clients Ellipse has exceptionally high and well documented long-term hair clearance rates. Photo rejuvenation requires only two treatments, compared to five or more for most alternative systems. Superior results are provided for all vascular and pigmented lesions. And acne clearance is excellent. Single treatment Ellipse A/S - MW Before and after four treatments Courtesy of Dr. Guillermo L.

With the large spot size, I can treat patients quickly minimizing treatment times. Skin rejuvenation treatments using the Flex System are simple to perform and the patient satisfaction levels are among some of the highest of all the treatments in my practice.
