ELOS REMOVAL OF COUPEROSIS, SKIN PIGMENTATION AND ACNE TREATMENT (IPL)

Acne and rosacea are a pressing problem for all ages; the ELOS technique has been successfully combating these dermatological problems for more than 15 years. It is based on the use of combined light and electromagnetic wave radiation. This therapy is also suitable for facial rejuvenation, elimination and prevention of wrinkles, used for hair removal, and used to prevent cellulite.

Concept of method

ELOS – Electro-Optical Synergy, it uses pulsed radiation that affects acne bacteria. They are the main cause of acne. Beams of light emitted by the attachment of a special apparatus affect protoporphyrins (molecules that are very sensitive to light), resulting in the formation of free radicals that destroy the membrane of bacteria contained in subcutaneous sebum accumulated in the pores. The causative agents of acne begin to lose numbers to healthy cells, and thanks to this, inflammation on the skin disappears.

At the same time, heat rays clear sebaceous plugs, reduce subcutaneous fat, and thereby visually make the skin smooth and even out its color. The Elos technique is used both to treat multiple rashes and to eliminate single pimples. It can be carried out to treat existing acne, to prevent their appearance, as well as to smooth out the consequences after they remain on the skin.

The effect of radiation therapy and consolidation of results occurs after 8-10 procedures; they can be performed no more than twice a week.

The video below will tell you about Elos treatment:

The mechanism of the treatment procedure

The procedure is carried out in three stages.

1. Cooling of the top layer of skin required to achieve a temperature difference between healthy areas and affected areas. In addition, it does not require the use of anesthesia. The likelihood of side effects such as burns and redness is also reduced.
2. Heating the affected tissues. Light energy passes through the epidermis and is absorbed by capillaries, pigment formations, hair follicles and connective tissue. Then it turns into heat. The temperature in the skin structures that have absorbed energy increases, and their electrical resistance, on the contrary, decreases. They become conductors of current in the radio frequency range.
3. Destroying the affected areas by exposing them to radiofrequency current.

Expected effect and required number of sessions

Propionic bacteria, which cause inflammation, are destroyed by the light beam, and excess sebaceous glands atrophy. As a result, both causes that lead to acne disappear: pathogenic microorganisms and excess sebum.

Determining the number of sessions is the task of the attending physician. It all depends on the degree of skin damage. The full course of ELOS against acne consists of 8-10 procedures, 2 times a week. This is enough to save the patient even from a complex form of the disease. If the skin lesion is very small, the result will be noticeable after just a few procedures.

In case of serious skin problems, to maintain the obtained effect, it is necessary to carry out preventive ELOS procedures every month and a half; this will reduce the risk of recurrent rashes.

Its types

Elos therapy solves not only dermatological problems, but also aesthetic ones. Along with popular methods for removing acne and rosacea, it is used to eliminate unwanted hair. In fact, it is not divided into subspecies, but is used for different directions; they are distinguished:

• Elos acne;
• Elos rosacea;
• Elos hair removal.

Advantages and contraindications

Elos rejuvenation has significant advantages over other methods of rejuvenation:

• safety, painlessness;
• the patient feels comfortable;
• targeted impact on the required areas without affecting the surrounding skin;
• non-contact exposure;
• effectively rejuvenates the skin, eliminates defects;
• there is no rehabilitation period.

The main prohibitions for conducting photorejuvenation sessions are the following factors:

• pregnancy, lactation;

Elos rejuvenation is generally indicated for fairly young women. In older age, the procedure is used to eliminate rosacea and pigmentation. To obtain an ideal result, it is recommended to combine Elos with moisturizing cosmetic procedures, mesotherapy, and biorevitalization.

Pros and cons of Elos therapy

Elos therapy is aimed at eliminating acne and other dermatological problems from the inside. The pulses of the device penetrate deep enough into the skin and disinfect purulent formations. This feature of the technique eliminates the use of hormonal agents and antibiotics, which are mandatory in the treatment of acne with other methods of eliminating them.

But not only this speaks in favor of using the Elos technique, it also has other obvious advantages:

• Fast results. This procedure fights small vascular networks on the face and more. The effect of treating rosacea occurs immediately after the first procedure. Since Elos acts at a depth of 3 mm, it can eliminate even wine stains and strong age spots.
• Safety and painlessness. The procedure is almost always painless and has no serious complications or side effects. The skin is not injured during the procedure; if slight redness occurs, it goes away within half an hour. The use of a cooling system provided for by the technique avoids overheating of the epidermis and provides special comfort.
• Eliminates the cause of acne, gets rid of blackheads and tightens pores. This occurs due to a reduction in sebum secretion, which, when excessively secreted, accumulates and forms sebaceous plugs.
• High efficiency. After using Elos technology, patients experience a long-term absence of new rashes and changes in skin texture, this applies to moderate and mild forms of the disease. In the case of severe forms, the technique helps 100%; it quickly controls new formations or rashes on the skin.
• Promotes rejuvenation. Elos therapy not only fights rosacea, but at the same time improves cell regeneration, promotes renewal of the upper cellular layer of the epidermis, and stimulates the production of elastin and collagen. After the procedure, the skin looks tightened, elastic and rejuvenated.

ELOS is a popular rejuvenation method today, developed in Israel. It is used in privileged clinics around the world. You can learn about ELOS - its functioning, capabilities, results from numerous sources. But, for more accurate, factual and detailed information, it is advisable to contact people who have undergone the proposed rejuvenation procedures. This article presents reviews of different types, allowing you to draw your own conclusion about ELOS rejuvenation.

Positive reviews

Marina, 46 years old: “I wanted to regain my youth, but without any health risks. Today I found the popular ELOS rejuvenation in one clinic. After three days, my friends saw changes in my appearance for the better, despite the fact that another 4-5 sessions are needed for the full effect. Without any doubt, I will continue! I experience very pleasant sensations: the skin is renewed, as if it is emitting light, there is a pleasant warmth on the face throughout the day, the color has changed - it has become more even. Previously, I couldn’t appear in public without foundation, but now, after the first session, I feel confident enough to go out without it.”

Maria, 63 years old: “I always tried to stay in shape and take care of myself. A year ago, I suddenly lost 15 kilograms of weight, with a height of 165 cm. I was very upset about my appearance and, in confusion, turned to cosmetologists. I had a personal consultation where specialists selected a specific diet. After 5 sessions on the device and 4 ozone therapy, I was pleasantly surprised by the results. The skin has clearly changed and become smoother.”

K., 53 years old: “It is important for a woman to always remain young and charming. Thanks to the rejuvenation courses that I take periodically, I feel younger than I really am. Competent consultation, interesting methods, no side effects. The procedure takes place 4 times with weekly breaks. The result is amazing, I recommend it to all women who want to improve their appearance.”

Negative reviews

Lyudmila, 35 years old: “In 2008, I went to the clinic to rejuvenate my face and get rid of age spots under my eyes. Not seeing any results, I contacted a cosmetologist with a complaint, to which I received the answer to wait 4 months. After this period, I saw the following: the number of spots increased, wrinkles appeared in the area of ​​the nose and lips, the face became flabby and began to deform, and the further, the more transformations, but for the worse. It’s unpleasant to look in the mirror, it seems like you’ve aged.”

Alexandra: “There was a desire to get rid of age spots on the forehead and cheekbones. I went through the first procedure and there was no effect. The second time, the doctor decided to intensify the impulses, and three burns appeared on the face, which took 3 weeks to heal, but traces still remained. The complaint was answered: they did not apply enough soothing gel. I went to another clinic and they promised to fix it a little, but it is impossible to completely eliminate the scars. I realized that no one can guarantee the result, and I experienced real depression. ELOS is a device, working with which requires deep responsibility and competence. And the salons are staffed by newcomers who have completed a month’s practice. I also learned that such cases happened more than once, they were simply not disclosed. Conclusion: this kind of operation is unreliable. Perhaps visual rejuvenation is observed at first, but there is no certainty that after some time there will be no deterioration. I really regretted what I did, but nothing can be returned. I just ruined my appearance.”

Marina, 50 years old: “I went through rejuvenation and lifting, but after six sessions I didn’t see any results. Only the pores narrowed a little, but the wrinkles remained. I was injured during the first session and am now whitening the pigmentation. I paid about 60 thousand rubles, and now I don’t know where to turn. Advertising is loud, but has little effect, besides it is unsafe and costs money.”

Neutral reviews

Julia: “I attended two sessions a month apart. I won’t say that the result is stunning - my face turned a little whiter, and my skin became a little denser. In principle, I like it, but you shouldn’t expect anything significant from this procedure.”

Victoria: “I have been turning to ELOS for two years. I think you need to really define what you want and be prepared for what will happen. Although there is a lot of advertising, no one commits to making a transformation: turning a 50-year-old woman into a 30-year-old girl.”

Rosa: “I did 2 procedures, but didn’t see much results. It seemed that the face became a little denser. There were no unpleasant consequences, but there were no positive ones either.”

conclusions

What can you say about ELOS rejuvenation? The presence of negative reviews indicates the unsafety of the procedure and possible failures. This is worth taking into account before you go to a cosmetologist. Positive evidence suggests that the procedure really helps. People periodically take this course and are satisfied - there is an effect, which means it’s worth contacting specialists. When deciding to undergo a procedure, you need to prepare for unpleasant, painful sensations and be prepared for the fact that your appearance will temporarily be quite unattractive. Next, collect as many reviews as possible about the clinic where you are going to undergo the procedure.

PS: If you have undergone the ELOS rejuvenation and you have something to say, we will be glad to hear your feedback. Try to give as detailed an answer as possible, because your feedback can help a person decide or refuse this procedure.

Reviews from real people

Marina, 27 years old, Ekaterinburg:

I doubted for a long time whether it was worth resorting to ELOS; the price is still a bit high. But other ways to cure acne did not work. I completed a course of 10 procedures and finally my skin is clean and smooth! Now, for prevention, I do ELOS once every couple of months.

Olga, 34 years old, Astrakhan:

I tried a lot of things to treat acne, but only ELOS therapy returned my skin to its normal appearance. And it is absolutely painless and has no side effects! I now recommend it to everyone I know!

Alexey, 31 years old, Moscow:

Since adolescence I have periodically suffered from acne. I heard a lot of positive reviews from friends, and in the end I decided to go myself. For a good result, only three procedures were enough for me. My opinion: an excellent product for treating serious problems, if the skin is not too affected, it’s worth finding something cheaper.

Contraindications

There are general and local restrictions. The first includes:

• tumors and oncological diseases;
• pregnancy and breastfeeding;
• taking antibiotics or other potent medications that increase sensitivity to light;
• recently undergone rejuvenation with collagen injections;
• chronic diseases such as diabetes;
• allergy to ultrasound and nickel;
• use of oral contraceptives;
• herpes virus, which appeared on the face.

Local contraindications include:

• exacerbation of psoriasis or eczema;
• tan received less than two weeks ago;
• tendency to form keloid scars;
• exacerbation of inflammation and violation of the integrity of the skin in areas of expected thermal exposure;
• the presence of tattoos or permanent makeup in places where the procedure is applied.

Consequences

Usually, after visiting an Elos-rejuvenation session, there is slight redness and swelling, which last no more than 2-3 days. If the procedure technology is violated, more serious signs may occur: bruises, burns, scars, skin deformations. Negative consequences are usually observed when the procedure is performed incorrectly. The reason may also be the use of old attachments. Failure to comply with the technology also contributes to complications in the form of burns. Rejuvenating procedures on different parts of the body are carried out with changing attachments and intensity of exposure. The arm area requires a higher intensity than the eyelids.

Eliminating existing age spots does not guarantee against the appearance of new ones. To get rid of it completely, you should look for the cause of skin pigmentation. It is necessary to ensure that the cooling gel is applied in sufficient quantities. There are known cases of unsuccessful procedures when the skin remained flabby. The problem is that the interval between procedures was shortened in time, less than 3 weeks passed. The collagen fibers were unable to complete the entire formation cycle, causing the opposite effect.

Preparation for the procedure

Three weeks before the day of therapy, it is better to refrain from visiting a solarium or being in direct sunlight, otherwise age spots and burns may appear. You should also not undergo mechanical or chemical cleansing of the face and other parts of the body.

Immediately before the procedure, the skin must be cleansed and degreased.

What is a rejuvenation procedure?

ELOS technology was created back in 1999 by Israeli doctors. Over the course of several years, experiments were carried out and the effectiveness was tested. After this, cosmetologists adopted the rejuvenation technique. In a short period of time, ELOS technology has won thousands of fans around the world.

ELOS technology (Electro Optical Synergy) is an electro-optical combination of energies. In other words, the simultaneous effect of light and electric current on wrinkles, age spots or vascular formations. This is done using light pulses, thereby creating a temperature difference between the surrounding tissues and the treated area. As a result of the conversion of light energy into heat, the temperature in the altered tissues rises sharply. At the same time, their electrical conductivity also changes.

Electric current selectively affects the desired cells, leading to their destruction. There is minimal impact on surrounding tissues. In addition, intense heating at the dermal level leads to increased formation of collagen fibers. In each case, the pulse parameters are selected individually. First of all, it depends on the condition of the skin and the aesthetic problem being solved.

Elos rejuvenation occurs using special equipment in combination with a computer skin protection system.

The device itself is equipped with different attachments that can give a certain result:

• Epilation attachment,
• Lifting nozzle,
• Nozzle for rejuvenation.

The general rejuvenating course is about 6 sessions, depending on the condition of the skin. The interval between sessions is 3-6 weeks, it is selected by the cosmetologist individually for each client. Before starting a rejuvenating course, you need to refrain from going to the solarium for a while and avoid peeling (mechanical, chemical).

In total, one procedure takes about 45 minutes, or a little more if a large area of ​​skin is treated. To begin with, the skin on the desired area of ​​the body or face is cleansed and degreased. Then a special conductor gel is applied to it and protective glasses are put on.

After this, the rejuvenation procedure begins, and a more intense action is used for the hands than for the eye area. The cosmetologist brings a special applicator to the surface of the face and a flash occurs; a slight tingling sensation is felt throughout the session. To eliminate visible defects in the dermis, the specialist will recommend treating the skin with two applicators per session. To get a lifting effect, it is enough to use only one of them.

At the end of the session, the skin is re-treated and any active influence is excluded for several days. Before going outside, it is recommended to apply sunscreen to your face or body, which will provide reliable protection from ultraviolet rays. It is prohibited to visit the sauna, swimming pool, solarium or take a hot bath (shower). You can peel or use a scrub no earlier than three weeks after the session.

Algorithm

After examining the skin by a doctor and thoroughly cleansing it, a moisturizing gel is applied to the treated areas. Next, the following steps are carried out:

1. The doctor selects the device settings for each client individually.
2. Initially, cooling affects the skin, it protects and anesthetizes the skin surface, and prevents side effects.
3. A special attachment is brought to the skin with problems, through which short-acting light flashes are transmitted. The entire affected surface of the skin is treated in this way.
4. During the procedure, no unpleasant sensations are observed; the patient experiences only a slight tingling sensation and warmth spreading over the skin.

To achieve high efficiency, not only areas with acne are treated, but also the surrounding skin. If there are large pimples on the surface of the skin, then they can be treated 2-3 times.

After the procedure, redness of the skin may appear, especially in those areas that have been treated twice or three times, but this erythema will go away on its own.

The procedure is clearly shown in this video:

The procedure itself

Elos facial rejuvenation, reviews of which are negative if patients and cosmetologists do not comply with certain requirements, is a fairly gentle procedure. Before using it, the desired area of ​​skin is cleansed of cosmetics and perfumes and degreased. Then a conductor gel is applied to the skin. Special protective glasses are put on the eyes, and the skin is freed of unnecessary hairs.

The temperature of the device varies between 5-10 ͦ C. At the same time, you feel warmth and a slight tingling sensation. If the patient experiences discomfort or pain, although this only happens in rare cases, the cosmetologist should choose a more gentle program for him.

Consequences and possible complications

• Treatment with the hardware technique under consideration is painless, but in some cases it may be accompanied by a feeling of dryness, burning and slight redness that goes away on its own.
• According to customer reviews, acne does not appear for a long time after such a procedure, and if pimples do appear, they are most often single. In severe cases, the appearance of acne is controlled and can be eliminated in 4 treatments.
• After light treatment, the body begins to find the strength to independently restore the skin from the inside.

As you know, one of the most famous methods of rejuvenation these days is photorejuvenation. Let's compare the photo-rejuvenation method with the elos technique.

Comparison of photo- and elos rejuvenation

Price

The price of Elos depends on the type of procedure performed and the area of ​​​​the area it covers. If we consider the cost of Elos depilation, then the approximate prices will be as follows:

• bikini area – from 1300 to 2000 rubles;
• armpits – 1100 rubles;
• complete legs – 3,700 rubles;
• neckline – 1000 rubles;
• full hands - 3400 rubles.

For the male population, prices increase by about 10%. The procedure for rejuvenating the entire face with Elos costs from 1,800 rubles.

The technique used to eliminate acne has its own prices, as follows:

• shoulder area – 2500 rubles;
• full face – 3600 rubles;
• back area – 4200 rubles.

Indications

The Elos-rejuvenation procedure is indicated at the first appearing signs of photo and chronoaging. The optimal age to start using the technique is from 30 to 40 years, but if necessary, you can start earlier. The procedure eliminates the following aesthetic imperfections:

• puffiness, dark circles under the eyes;
• scars, scars, stretch marks;
• small wrinkles;
• age-related skin changes;
• acne, post-acne, enlarged pores;
• rosacea, vascular pathologies;
• folds on all parts of the body due to sudden weight loss or aging;
• pigmentation;
• sagging skin on the neck and décolleté.

Reviews

The Elos technique can fight any form of acne; after its use, bacteria that cause inflammation and acne are destroyed. This therapy lightens the skin, resolves vascular networks, narrows pores, normalizes metabolic processes and thereby prevents the appearance of an oily film. U

3 days after undergoing Elos, clients observe a noticeable lightening of the skin, its structure improves, but pigmentation and blood vessels remain noticeable, they begin to lighten only in the second week, and completely disappear after 8 weeks.

Cuperosis and elos treatment

Cuperosis is a circulatory disorder in the skin, which is manifested by the dilation of small vessels. Another name for the disease is “red mesh”. Cuperosis occurs due to blood stagnation in small skin vessels. The disease looks like a fine red mesh, which is formed by capillaries and blood vessels.

Elos treatment for rosacea is light and radio wave radiation that clearly affects each individual pigment or capillary. Under the influence of light energy, capillaries or vessels are heated to the desired temperature, as a result of which they become invisible. Next, the pigment is destroyed, then the pigmented skin exfoliates.

Recommendations before the procedure

According to the recommendations of cosmetologists, patients are required to refrain from sunbathing and visiting a solarium for 14 days before the session. Tanning causes burns. After therapy, if necessary, stay in the sun, sunscreen is applied to the treated areas. Avoid excessive heat exposure (saunas, steam baths). Eliminate exposure to irritating factors on the skin 2-4 days before and 3-4 after the session.

After injection methods of rejuvenation, Elos therapy is allowed to be carried out after 2 weeks.
