Why is elōs™ the best choice for hair permanent reduction?

elōs™ (electro-optical synergy) uses a combination of BiPolar Radio Frequency and Laser light to isolate the treatment area leaving the surrounding skin free from potentially harmful side effects. Using gentle pulses of two energies delivers better results with lower overall energy output. This assures the highest level   of safety and comfort.

elōs™ uses “Vortex Heating” to target and disable the hair follicle. Laser energy first heats the hair shaft, then the Vortex is created as the RF energy encircles and heats the hair follicle. This disables the hair follicle itself and not just the hair shaft. Treatment with elōs™ technology also helps to renew collagen and brings you healthier-looking skin with no downtime.

Is elōs™ hair reduction safe?
All of the lasers in our clinic have been specifically chosen because they have been proven to provide safe and effective treatments. FDA approved laser hair removal with elōs™ technology is a superior hair removal solution all skin types. elōs™ is effective for lighter hair colors that other systems miss! 

How many treatments are required?

Most areas require 4-8 treatments, but the number of treatments each person requires depends on various factors such as hair color, thickness, the area being treated and growth cycle. elos™ Laser treatment works by disabling the hair that is in the active growth phase at the time of treatment. Since other hairs will enter this active growth phase at different times, additional treatments are necessary to disable all hair follicles in a given area of the body.
