In 1991, Dr. Shimon Eckhouse invented and patented Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), a major advance over then-laser technology, and for nearly 10 years IPL remained the standard for beauty treatments. But this technology also had drawbacks, such as insufficient penetration and targeting, as well as risks of epidermal pigmentation and injury.

A quantum leap occurred in 2000, when master physicist Dr. Michael Craindel combined IPL technology with bipolar radio frequency (RF) to create electro-optical synergies, or ELOS, as it is now known. This revolutionary technology platform soon set new safety and efficacy standards for a wide range of medical aesthetic procedures.
Elos is the first and only technology to use both the power of bipolar radio frequency (RF) and optical energy. This revolutionary technology effectively overcomes the safety and procedural limitations of intense pulsed light (IPL) and conventional lasers.

What distinguishes Elos

-RF, a highly controllable heat source, works synergistically with optical energy
-Allows the use of light energy at a level that is safe for all skin types
-It does not pose an additional risk to the epidermis
-Provides improved penetration for better results
-Elos is safe and effective for treating all skin colors and all hair colors.

What can be expected from Elos?

ELOS uses lower energy levels for better results and maximum safety.
As hair grows in cycles, it usually takes 6 treatments to permanently reduce hair loss, but the actual number of treatments needed for optimal and long-term results will depend on hair color, skin type, and the area being treated. Blonde hair requires more procedures.

Photoepilation with ELOS is ideal for anyone who wants permanently smooth skin.
It can be performed on almost any part of the body, regardless of size, without irritation, which can be caused by other hair removal methods.
In addition, it provides long-lasting results. The ELOS system is the fastest and most effective method for hair removal. It uses lower overall energy levels for superior results and maximum safety and is the first and only technology that can remove hair of all colors on all skin types.
