What is Elos?

ELOS stands for electro optical synergy and combines bipolar conducted electric current with optical (light) energy.

What is the Elos Advantage?

Elos technology provides hair removal for all skin and hair types. Compared to earlier IPL technology, there is less blistering, scabbing, crusting and hyper/hypopigmentation, reduced redness and inflammation and less pain.

Why is Elos technology more effective than standard IPL?

With less intense light energy there are less burning risks and the synergistic coupling of energies means that each pulse can be delivered for a longer period of time than standard IPL – yielding improved results.

Is treatment with Elos technology safe?

There are many advances in the new Elos technology that make it one of the safest hair removal systems available.

There are no long-term health hazards and both light and electric energy have been used for decades in medicine, surgery and aesthetics without adversity.

What kind of results can be expected from Elos hair removal treatment?

Each treatment will result in less hair coming back, as well as hair growing progressively lighter in colour, becoming finer and also slowing regrowth. Most people achieve satisfactory clearance after 4-8 treatments, however, individual results vary depending on medical and genetic factors.

How does hair removal with Elos technology feel?

The sensation is often described as a ‘hot pinch’ or ‘snapping’ feeling. The sensation only lasts for a fraction of a second and warmth and/or a tingling sensation is experienced for a short time afterward. Most people tolerate treatment without any topical anaesthetic, but individuals who are more sensitive may prefer to have their skin numbed before treatment.
