This article explains the symptoms for which treatment using Ellisis Sense is recommended, how the treatment works, and points to note regarding Ellisis Sense. If you are considering treatment or are concerned about your skin, please use this article as a reference.

Symptoms for Which Ellisis Sense Is Recommended

The main symptoms for which treatment using Ellisis Sense is recommended are as follows.

  • Acne scars
  • Craters
  • Enlarged pores
  • Wrinkles
  • Skin firmness
  • Improved skin quality

The greatest strength of Ellisis Sense is that improvement in skin quality may be achieved at the same time. It is suitable not only for targeted treatment but also for people with concerns about their skin overall.

What Is Ellisis Sense?

Ellisis Sense is a medical device that inserts microneedles into the dermis and delivers high-frequency energy called RF. By intentionally creating tiny wounds in the skin, it promotes collagen production and improves skin quality. It was introduced as the next-generation device following Potenza and Derma Pen.

Its greatest feature is that RF can be delivered to two types of skin layers at different depths with a single needle insertion. Another strength is its use of a technique called vacuum suction, in which the needle tip is inserted while suctioning the skin. These two technologies can help maximize the beauty of the skin.

How Ellisis Sense Treatment Works

Ellisis Sense uses a device equipped with countless fine needles, or microneedles, to create extremely small holes in the skin. The skin is lifted using vacuum suction before the needles are inserted, after which RF energy is delivered to two different skin layers using the double-shot function. This is because intentionally creating extremely small wounds in the skin enhances the skin’s natural ability to produce collagen.

At the same time, the drug delivery function evenly delivers medication according to the symptoms. Because the medication penetrates through the countless tiny holes, greater skin-beautifying effects may be expected.

Features of Ellisis Sense Treatment

Treatment with Ellisis Sense has the following features.

  • Greater effects and shorter downtime through the double-shot function
  • A skin-tightening effect from thermal energy
  • Medication delivery through the drug delivery function
  • Less painful treatment through the step motor function
  • Treatment with close contact between the skin and device through the vacuum suction function

Let us look at each feature in detail.

Greater Effects and Shorter Downtime Through the Double-Shot Function

As mentioned earlier, Ellisis Sense is equipped with a double-shot function. By inserting an ultra-fine needle once, high-frequency energy can be delivered to two different skin layers. With Potenza, needle insertion treatment must be performed twice, whereas Ellisis Sense can do this in one session, allowing you to experience greater effects while reducing downtime involving redness and swelling.

Skin-Tightening Effect from Thermal Energy

Because high-frequency energy is thermal energy, delivering it directly to the dermis causes proteins to undergo changes. This tightens the skin and promotes collagen production. This is why Ellisis Sense is considered to have skin-beautifying effects.

Medication Delivery Through the Drug Delivery Function

Drug delivery means evenly distributing medication throughout the target area. Ellisis Sense makes it possible to deliver medication deep into the skin, which is difficult to do manually. Because the medication is delivered through ultra-fine needles, it can be distributed evenly as far as the dermis.

Less Painful Treatment Through the Step Motor Function

The step motor function reduces pain caused when inserting the needles and delivers a smooth impact. Even though the needles are ultra-fine, inserting them may make this treatment difficult for people concerned about pain. Ellisis Sense is equipped with a step motor function that takes the skin’s resistance into account, reducing the risk of pain and redness.

Treatment with Close Contact Between the Skin and Device Through the Vacuum Suction Function

The vacuum suction function is a vacuum function incorporated to keep the tip in close contact with the skin. The tip is the part in which the needles are housed.

Because suction is applied when the needles are inserted, treatment can be performed more easily even on areas that are difficult to treat. The device is also equipped with a safety mechanism that delivers high-frequency energy under vacuum conditions. Ellisis Sense is characterized by functions that enable safe and efficient treatment.

Effects of Ellisis Sense

Treatment with Ellisis Sense can provide several effects. Let us look at five of the main ones.

Tightening Enlarged Pores

Ellisis Sense can deliver high-frequency energy to both the shallow and deep layers of the skin, helping to tighten pores. This is because the delivery of high-frequency energy promotes collagen production, and the collagen produced may make pores less noticeable.

Improving Acne Scars

Because it can approach the deeper layers of the skin, Ellisis Sense is also effective for improving acne scars. Although acne itself develops on the skin’s surface, improving acne scars requires separating scar tissue formed deep within the skin. Ellisis Sense can separate scar tissue using high-frequency energy and can also deliver medication thoroughly. Another benefit is that it can promote the production of collagen and elastin through high-frequency energy.

Improving Facial Redness and Dullness

It can help suppress the formation of new blood vessels that cause facial redness, making the entire face appear red. Delivering high-frequency energy to two skin layers can suppress blood vessel formation. Skin dullness may also be improved through the same mechanism.

Making Scars Less Noticeable

As mentioned in the section on another symptom, Ellisis Sense stimulates the deeper layers of the skin with high-frequency energy and promotes collagen production. Therefore, it may make scars less noticeable in addition to acne scars. As increased collagen pushes up the skin, scars become less noticeable.

Improving Wrinkles and Sagging

Ellisis Sense acts directly on the dermis, making it effective for improving wrinkles and sagging. By promoting collagen production, it may increase skin volume, allowing it to improve wrinkles and sagging caused by collagen deficiency.

Difference Between Ellisis Sense and Potenza

Potenza is a treatment device that is effective for acne, acne scars, and enlarged pores. It uses extremely fine needles to create wounds and intentionally triggers the skin’s wound-healing response. Ellisis Sense can provide similar effects, but Potenza does not have the double-shot and vacuum suction functions. This means that greater effects may be expected than with Potenza.

Difference Between Ellisis Sense and Derma Pen

Derma Pen is also a treatment device that can be expected to provide effects comparable to those of Ellisis Sense. Both use ultra-fine needles to create wounds on the skin’s surface, but Derma Pen differs in that it creates wounds while rubbing across the skin’s surface. In addition, Ellisis Sense adds vacuum suction, the double-shot function, and high-frequency energy, so greater effects may be expected.

Ellisis Sense Treatment Process

The process for receiving treatment using Ellisis Sense is as follows.

 1. Counseling and consultation with a doctor
 2. Face washing and cleansing
 3. Treatment

Counseling and consultation with a doctor are also conducted when using treatment devices other than Ellisis Sense. The patient’s skin condition and symptoms are checked in detail, after which the treatment method and number of sessions are determined. Once the treatment method has been decided, makeup and other products are washed off. This is because makeup remaining on the skin may reduce the effects of Ellisis Sense or cause unexpected side effects.

Ellisis Sense is then applied for approximately 20~30 minutes. Since it is better not to rub the skin after treatment, do not apply makeup or any skincare products, including basic skincare products, and spend 24 hours with your bare skin.

Effective Treatment Intervals and Number of Ellisis Sense Sessions

Although this varies depending on your symptoms and concerns, 4~5 treatment sessions per month is considered ideal for experiencing the effects of Ellisis Sense.

Points to Note Regarding Ellisis Sense

There are precautions, including possible side effects, when receiving treatment using Ellisis Sense. Let us take a closer look.

Contraindications and People Who Cannot Receive Treatment

Unfortunately, some people cannot receive treatment using Ellisis Sense. If any of the following conditions apply to you, please consider another treatment method.

  • People with a pacemaker or implanted defibrillator
  • People with metal or gold threads inserted in the area where they wish to receive Ellisis Sense treatment
  • People with severe dermatitis or an infection
  • People with severe diabetes
  • People with heart disease
  • People with a malignant tumor (cancer)
  • People with a fever
  • People prone to keloid formation
  • People with herpes simplex or cold sores
  • People who are pregnant

If you strongly wish to receive treatment, consult a doctor to determine whether there is another possible method.

Post-Treatment Course and Side Effects

Although results vary from person to person, side effects may occur during the post-treatment course. Specific examples include the following.

  • Scabs (approximately 5 days)
  • Redness, warmth, swelling, and stinging (approximately several days)
  • Folliculitis or increased sebum production

If scabs form, do not scratch or rub them; wait for them to fall off naturally. Redness and stinging often subside naturally, but if they become particularly intense, using a cold pack wrapped in a towel or similar measure is recommended to ease the symptoms. If you also feel tightness or dryness, care for your skin with a moisturizing cream.

Treatment Precautions

Please also observe the following points after treatment.

  • On the day of treatment, take a shower only and do not bathe
  • Basic skincare products may be used from 6~7 hours after treatment, but only low-irritant products
  • Makeup may be applied from 24 hours after treatment
  • Alcohol is prohibited on the day of treatment
  • Take measures to protect your skin from sun exposure because it will be more sensitive to ultraviolet rays

Although this is a treatment that causes relatively little irritation, the skin is highly sensitive after treatment. Please take even greater care of your skin than usual.
