Does the patient need to shave prior to Ellipse hair reduction treatment?
It is better if the patient arrives with the areas to be treated unshaved. The hairs need to be at least 1mm long to be seen clearly. This enables the area needing treatment to be marked out, using a red pen. The area to be treated should then be shaved before starting treatment, to ensure best results. Remove the shaved hairs from the skin to ensure that they do not stick to the applicator.
