What is elos (elos) – rejuvenation?
Elos (elos) – rejuvenation is a hardware method that
based on the simultaneous use of laser, radio frequency and
light radiation. The positive effect of the procedure occurs for
due to the impact of the apparatus not only on the surface of the epidermis, but also
on the deeper layers of the skin. Literally, the term elos (elos) means
“electro-optical synergy”. The principle of this method is sufficient
simple: light is absorbed by the tissues, and in the deeper layers of the skin it
converted to heat energy.
An interesting history of the invention of this technique. The method has been opened

The method consists in the absorption of light and

electrical current has a selective effect on tissue and
more intense effect on the already heated dermis. This kind

and a variety of cosmetic flaws.
How is the effect on the skin
During the procedure, the following processes are activated:
- Intensive warming of tissues activates
fibroblasts. This stimulates the production of collagen,
elastin and hyaluronic acid, which contributes to the lifting of soft
tissues. - Some heating of the blood in the capillaries contributes to the rapid
disappearance of rosacea (vascular network) on the face, since
coagulation of blood and protein occurs. - Heating the tissue also contributes to the destruction of melanin.
Melanin is a pigment that is produced

the process lasts no more than an hour if it is only about the face, but in
In general, the duration of the procedure depends on which area of the skin
need to process. - The apparatus for Elos procedure has several nozzles that
used to solve a specific problem. Maximum depth
to which light energy penetrates, is 5 mm.
Power and intensity of current is chosen individually for each
patient so as not to cause him severe burns, pain and
discomfort. - After the procedure, a cooling and
soothing cream. This must be done to avoid
burns.
After the procedure, the skin becomes red and swollen;
point burns are observed. Swelling, skin flushing and burns

after 3 or 5 days, swelling and redness disappear completely, and
age spots become more pronounced. Not worth it
