Traditional IPL handpieces use rectangular light spots that leave small untreated gaps between passes, particularly on curved surfaces like the nose, jawline, and forehead. Elipsa's elliptical spot conforms more naturally to facial anatomy, reducing overlap burn risk in convex areas and eliminating undertreated zones in concave areas.
The result is more consistent energy delivery across the entire treatment field. Available on the Sciton platform, Elipsa also treats a broader range of skin tones safely because the elliptical geometry allows lower per-pulse energy while maintaining therapeutic coverage.
