 Electro-optical impact

ELOS-rejuvenation is one of the most effective and comfortable for the patient and hardware techniques, that allows to correct aesthetic defects of the skin and clean the main signs of aging. Its action is based upon a complex effect of light and radio frequency radiation, which provides a pronounced and persistent, live, with almost total safety.

What results can you count and how much it would cost for the complete course? TecRussia.ru and our experts the experts the leading aesthetic clinics answer all the important questions:

What is the ELOS-rejuvenation..?

Acronym ELOS stands for Electro-Optical Synergy. Is the name, of course, not the case indicates two types of energy are used during the performance of this procedure:

  • bipolar radiofrequency radiation, in a few words an electric current;
  • pulses of light energy.

Initially, the technique was developed as an innovative method of hair removal, where the entire action is similar to laser, but you can erase not only dark and dense, but also light and thin hair. But the reaction of the leather was much more interesting: after the course of procedures has become more elastic, smooth and hydrated, aligned and improvement of its color, is diminished the severity of the wrinkles, pigmentation became lighter, disappeared the vascular network and even acne.

...and how does it work?

electro-optical impact takes place in 2 stages:

  • First of all, the skin is sent to the pulse light emission, which heats the area of the target (hair follicle, vascular or pigmented soil, etc) at a certain temperature. So this reduces its resistance and starts the process of thermolysis.
  • Following this between the two electrodes to conduct the current pulses, continue to increase the temperature of land, already warmed by the light, little by little, providing the desired result: discoloration of the pigmentation, the tip blood, the destruction of hair follicles, fat cells, lifting collagenic extracellular matrix, stimulation of the production of new collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid.

What is the combined use of heat will be much more effective and painless than block light. This is due to the c, that in the second case, the epidermis prevents the penetration of light energy in the deeper layers of the dermis, accumulating the heat and greatly enhancing the risk of burns and hyperpigmentation. This is the traditional photorejuvenation (IPL) has a lot of limitations of use. The use of current allows you to circumvent this obstacle and to act only to the target area, practically without affecting the surrounding tissues.

Indications for the procedures

 the effect of the procedure

Experts recommend starting ELOS-rejuvenation with the appearance of obvious signs of chrono and photo-aging. They usually become apparent in 30-40 years, but sometimes before, everything here is very subjective. The range of problems that he faces with success this technique is very large:

  • small and medium-depth wrinkles;
  • ptosis of the soft tissues of the face, loss of definition of the oval, irregular and opaque color;
  • the low liquid level of the skin, reducing its tone.
  • pores;
  • rosacea and some other diseases;
  • different types of pigmentation;

  • the loss of elasticity and the easy relaxation of the skin of the neck and décolleté;
  • folds on any area of the body, such as after a major weight loss, and due to aging;
  • small scars and stretch marks.

For greater effect, modern electro-optical devices that are programmed under the patient, c in the basis of skin color, age and specific aesthetic problems.

Equipment for associations-procedure releases the company of Syneron Medical LTD. Other officers of the manufacturers on the market. The range includes brands such as E-light, E-style, E-max, Aurora and a few others.

How is the procedure carried out

Before the start of the course, you need to prepare the skin to the heat. For this in a matter of 2 weeks, you should:

  • completely abandon the sun on the beach or in the solarium;

In all nozzles, the association of equipment there are filters that mute the flash, then the temperature on the surface of the skin exceeds the normal is not more than 5-10 degrees. During treatment, patients do not feel pain: you may feel a slight tingling and warmth, which almost no one is uncomfortable. The exception is the removal of the vascular mesh is especially sensitive on the face, for example, the wings of the nose: csclerosing will be painful, it is also the safest mode of treatment.Before starting the procedure, the doctor cleans the skin of all impurities and covers the conductive gel, and the eyes of the patient closes the special safety glasses. The session lasts from 30 minutes to 120 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated and the character of skin problems. So, for the face quite 40-45 minutes, but the work on the whole face-neck-décolleté, it will take no less than 1.5 hours.

The standard course of ELOS-rejuvenation is 4-6 treatments that are performed c the range of 1-1,5 months (such a long interval of time necessary for the recovery of the epidermis, as well as for the full manifestation of the impact effect of the temperature in the deeper layers of the dermis). The positive changes you will see in a couple of weeks after the first session. However, a certain improvement in the face of the color and texture of your skin, the lifting and the contraction when they occur after a couple of days. And will continue to result in 1.5-2 years.

If, in addition to rejuvenate it is also necessary to eliminate the defects of the skin (stretch marks, scars, spots, vascular education), you need to get in tune with the longer wait.

  • wrong choice impact parameters;
  • abuse c nozzles of the machine;
  • the use of obsolete nozzles;
  • too often (less than 3 weeks between sessions) the development of procedures, in which collagenic fiber do not have the time to update.

In these cases, there are possible burns, bruises, redness, scarring, and other deformities of the skin, correct that it is sometimes very difficult. To avoid such complications, it is not difficult, we just need a responsible approach to the choice of the beautician and clinic.

It is true that the associations causes cancer?

In respect of this, as of other, in different measurement, innovative methods, always appear some doubts in safety. In particular, it is widely believed that the intense exposure of the skin to sunlight can cause melanoma and malignization other neoplasms. This is true for the activities of the ultraviolet radiation, but in электрооптических equipment used exclusively infrared light, then, what is the relationship of these procedures c specialists oncology completely denied.

The associations in and of itself does not cause cancer of the skin, secure the beautician Irina Ivanova from the clinic DoctorPlastic If in the area of treatment is cancer, of them, of course, running. And I advise patients in advance to make sure that they are not malignant.
