MultiFlex An Innovative I 2 PL Device and an Outstanding Nd:YAG Laser in One Versatile Platform
The Ellipse MultiFlex The best of pulsed light and laser technology in a single platform MultiFlex makes it easier than ever to meet the growing demands of today s aesthetic marketplace. By combining two distinctly different technologies each with its own unique benefits into a single platform, Technologically Superior Safe Effective Operator-Friendly Dependable Ellipse has created an extremely versatile system capable of meeting a wide range of treatment needs. And with its modular design, MultiFlex offers an upgradeable path that will accommodate changing demands and expectations as your practice continues to grow and thrive. The I 2 PL has proven to be everything I expected and more. Speed, safety and efficacy are top priorities for me and my patients. I now know I can trust Ellipse for products that deliver on all counts. Zakia Rahman, M.D., F.A.A.D. Stanford University Palo Alto, CA
I 2 PL A smarter approach to pulsed light technology Safe, effective, versatile and reliable, Ellipse I 2 PL offers performance that conventional intense pulsed light devices simply can t match. From hair removal and skin rejuvenation to pigmented lesions and acne, you can count on this state-of-the-art technology to deliver more of what aesthetic practices are looking for today. I 2 PL Innovative Dual Mode Filtering Technology offers safety and efficacy beyond conventional pulsed light devices. Safety and Performance With its innovative, patent pending Dual Mode Filtering Technology, the MultiFlex I 2 PL offers safety and efficacy beyond conventional pulsed light devices. Typical devices produce a wide spectrum of wavelengths going up to approximately 1,200 nanometers. Dual Mode Filtering removes potentially harmful wavelengths, by narrowing the spectrum for more effective treatments. This enables you to more accurately and efficiently deliver heat into the selective targets of the skin, at a lower energy level, without injury to untargeted tissue. As a result, patients experience quicker, more comfortable treatments without the need for active cooling. Superior Pulse Control Another drawback of conventional pulsed light systems is imperfect pulse shapes. This can subject the skin to different levels of energy throughout the pulse increasing the risk of side effects and decreasing effectiveness. The MultiFlex I 2 PL features Square Pulse Technology to ensure that the intensity of the pulse is consistent throughout its duration. Advanced Programming Made Easy Ellipse is the only provider of Programmable Pulse Technology (PPT), which enables advanced users to define new Intense Pulsed Light patterns via a passwordprotected Pulse Definition mode. PPT allows users to customize treatment settings to each specific skin type. Best of all, this advanced technology is controlled through an easy-to-use touch screen interface. It couldn t be any simpler.

Effective for Today s Most Popular Treatments The MultiFlex I 2 PL offers safe and effective performance for a wide range of applications on all skin types. These include: Skin rejuvenation* Port wine stains Hair removal Epidermal pigmented lesions Facial telangiectasias Acne vulgaris * Treatment of benign vascular and benign pigmented lesions.
Nd:YAG Laser Real power that delivers real results The performance of the 1064 nm wavelength is well documented. It has long been recognized for its effectiveness in vascular applications. The Ellipse MultiFlex Nd:YAG laser produces long-pulsed light at 1064 nm, offering the power and performance for effective leg vein treatments, making it the ideal vascular complement to the MultiFlex I 2 PL. 1064 nm Nd:YAG High-powered long-pulse Nd:YAG applicator delivers reliable vascular performance. Designed for Comfort and Ease of Use The MultiFlex Nd:YAG was designed in close collaboration with leading dermatologists to ensure it offers maximum comfort with minimum operator fatigue. The handpiece features a white working light, eliminating the need for a head lamp, and an adjustable red aiming beam to pinpoint the center of the treatment spot. This ensures optimal visibility of the area to be treated while making it easier to distinguish the veins. Spot-Size Adjustments Made Simpler Most other Nd:YAG lasers require manual exchange of lenses for spot size modification. The MultiFlex Nd:YAG laser features an advanced, lens system that allows automatic adjustment of the spot size from 1.5 to 5 mm without interrupting treatment. Performance with a Soft Touch With its new patent-pending SoftCool air cooling system, the MultiFlex Nd:YAG laser offers more comfort than laser systems employing contact or spray cooling. SoftCool produces a focused stream of cool air that removes excessive heat by pre-, parallel and post-cooling. This makes a MultiFlex Nd:YAG treatment more comfortable than many alternative Nd:YAG treatments. 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 I 2 PL (PR or VL-2 applicator). For leg veins or thicker telangiectasias, I use the Nd:YAG applicator. All three options in a single system! Prof. Michael Drosner Institute for Laser Researh in Dermatology, cutaris Center Munich, Germany Efficient and Economical Patients aren t the only ones who will appreciate the benefits of SoftCool. Unlike devices that rely on expensive cryogen spray for cooling, SoftCool is fully integrated in the system. There are no expensive consumable costs, no need for additional floor space and none of the costs associated with an extra operator during procedures.
Ellipse MultiFlex The right choice for all the right reasons With the MultiFlex, Ellipse has delivered on the promise of a fully integrated, multi-modality platform. This combination has created a value-added system capable of multiple solutions for today s aesthetic professional. With its proven performance, innovative features and user-friendly operation, MultiFlex can provide you with the kind of cost and technological edge you need in today s increasingly competitive environment. Clinically Proven, Safe and Effective It s not merely a claim, it s a fact. Ellipse products are recognized around the world for their safety, reliability and efficacy. The proof can be found in a wide-range of peer-reviewed papers as well as a satisfied customer base of 3,000 systems in 50 countries around the world. Simple to Set-Up The Ellipse MultiFlex is designed for plug-and-play installation and set up. No external cooling systems or smoke evacuators are required. The system itself requires only occasional water refills and air filter changes. Easy to Operate The two-port design allows for two different I 2 PL handpieces to be connected to the system at one time. Switching from one to the other is achieved simply by touching the screen. Advanced Performance, with Safety Built-In In addition to the Normal operating mode, two password-protected modes of operation allow you to customize treatment parameters. An Expert mode allows experienced users to modify certain aspects of the settings. Pulse Definition mode enables total programmability for the most advanced users to research new applications and set the boundaries of even more effective treatments. Easy to Track The Ellipse MultiFlex provides full traceability, as every treatment event with every patient is automatically logged. Individual operators can be assigned a unique password and granted access to only the appropriate level of functionality. A built-in patient database stores all individual patient data and corresponding treatment parameters, which saves time during follow-up treatments. Programmed for Peace of Mind Built-in clinical intelligence ensures effective treatment and reduces the risk of side effects. In the Normal operating mode, Ellipse MultiFlex chooses appropriate and safe default treatment settings based on the operator s clinical input of individual patient parameters. This ensures safe and effective treatment parameters with each and every treatment.
