What is rejuvenation, ELOS is..?

The abbreviation for ELOS stands for electro Optical Synergy. Such a title, of course, not coincidentally, there are two types of energy, in the implementation of this procedure:

  • bipolar RF energy, just expressed in terms of electric current;
  • Pulse Light Energy.

The technique was originally developed as an innovative method of hair removal, here is their action in General, similar to Laser, but to delete, you can not only dark and dense, but also light and thin hair. But the reaction of the skin was much more interesting: after the course of procedures, she was cared firmer, smoother and moisture, a layer and improves your color, decreased the severity of the wrinkles, pigmentation became brighter, disappeared, spider veins and even acne.

...and how does it work?

electro-optical exposure is carried out in 2 steps:

  • First, the pulsed light radiation, which heats the target area (hair follicles, stroke, or pigmented plot, etc.) embarks on the skin up to a certain temperature. So decreases their resistance and starts the process of thermolysis.
  • After that, between the two electrodes, the current pulses go, you further increase the temperature of the land, the already hot light, whereby gradually the desired result: discoloration, pigmentation, Spike vessels, the destruction of the hair follicles, fat cells, tightening collagenic Matrix, stimulating the production of new collagen, Elastin, and hyaluronic acid.

This combined thermal effect is much more effective and gentle, as localized lighting. This is due to c the fact that in the second case, the Epidermis prevents the penetration of light energy into the deeper layers of the Dermis, and collect in the heat and significantly increases the risk of burns and hyperpigmentation. Therefore, the traditional photo rejuvenation (IPL) is a lot of restrictions on the application. The use of the current makes it possible to bypass this obstacle and work only on the target area, with virtually no impact on the surrounding tissue.
