How
does Hair Removal with elōs™ DSL Applicator work?
The DSL uses laser and
bi-polar radio frequency energies to damage the hair follicle. This
disables the follicle from growing hair, which means that gradually
over several treatments, there is a permanent reduction in the
amount of hair in that area.
What is the advantage of DSL Applicator over other laser hair
removal systems?
The DSL can treat large
zones very fast, and there is no exclusionary criteria based on skin
type or hair color (the treatment approach for apigmented hairs is
different than treating dark hair and the response rate may be less
predictable).
How efficacious is the treatment with DSL Applicator?
In a study which included
skin types II-V showed 35-42% clearance 3 months after a single
treatment. Post treatment hair extrusion occurs around 2-3 weeks.
Some hair shafts can be pulled out of the follicle immediately
post-treatment without resistance, indicating disengagement from the
follicle while the hair shaft is still intact (i.e. has not been
singed by the laser heat)- the bi-polar RF energy effect is clearly
evident.
Is treatment with the DSL Applicator safe?
Treatment is very safe
for the skin. There are many advances in the DSL technology that
make it one of the safest hair removal systems available for all
skin colors. There are no long term health hazards from laser or
electric energies used in the DSL. Both have been used for decades
in medicine, surgery, and aesthetics without adversity.
How is DSL Applicator treatment tolerated by the patient?
Everyone has different
pain tolerances but most patients are treated without topical
anesthetic creams. The chilled air device, SynerCool™ is very
helpful for discomfort during treatment and especially when fast,
auto-repeat firing is used for large treatment zones.
What results can one expect from the DSL Applicator treatment?
Each DSL treatment will
result in less hair coming back, as well as hair growing
progressively lighter in color, finer, and slower-growing with each
treatment. It takes more than 1 treatment to affect all the
follicles growing in an area. Most people achieve satisfactory
clearance after 6-8 treatments, but individual results vary
depending on medical and genetic factors. Lighter colored hair may
require more treatments than darker colored hair.
How frequently does one need DSL Applicator treatments?
The treatments are
usually performed every 2-3 months, but this depends on individual
factors.
What happens after each DSL Applicator treatment?
Temporary pinkness in the
skin lasts a very short time, and most people return to work or
normal activities immediately after treatment. The treated area will
“shed” some hairs over the next 2-4 weeks, and patients may
experience a period of hairlessness in the area while you wait for
your next treatment.
Who should get DSL treatment for Hair Removal?
Anyone who wants a
permanent solution to shaving, waxing, plucking, or electrolysis.
There are few medical conditions that contraindicate people from
treatment.

How does Wrinkle
Treatment with elōs™ WRA Applicator work?
The WRA combines safe and
effective levels of laser and radiofrequency (electric current)
energies to remodel the dermal layer of the skin by stimulating new
collagen growth, creating a smoother and softer appearance. Both
laser and radiofrequency have been used separately for decades in
medicine and surgery, but the WRA exclusively combines light and
radio-frequency energy for ideal treatment outcomes with a very low
risk of side effects and virtually no down-time.
What results can one expect from the WRA Applicator treatment?
The WRA can improve
textural irregularities in the skin due to loss of collagen in the
dermis such as: non-dynamic moderate wrinkles, enlarged pores,
superficial acne scarring, rough skin texture, and skin laxity of
the face and neck. This is done non-ablatively, which means that
this is a non-invasive procedure. Most people leave the treatment
office with only slight pinkness or no pinkness at all, they can
return to work immediately.
How many treatments are required?
Most patients will have
between 3-5 treatments.
How frequently does one need WRA Applicator treatments?
Treatment sessions are
typically 3-4 weeks apart.
How is WRA Applicator treatment tolerated by the patient?
The sensation may be
described as a “hot pinch”, like someone snapping an elastic band on
your skin. Patients tolerate treatment well by use of either cooling
the skin during treatment and/or use of a topical anesthetic cream
that numbs the skin.
Is treatment with the WRA Applicator safe?
ANY medical laser
procedure has risk of side effects such as superficial blistering,
crusting, and pigmentary changes in the skin. These risks are rare
and usually quickly resolved. The WRA incorporates several
technological advances that focus on patient safety to minimize
these risks and provide greater satisfaction. The laser handpiece is
also cooled for skin protection and comfort during the procedure.
Who should be treated with the WRA Applicator?
Anyone with unwanted
moderate wrinkles, superficial acne scarring, enlarged pores, or
rough skin texture from chronic sun-damage. Pigmentation from
chronic sun-damage may also improve over the series of treatments.
Dynamic wrinkles such as between the brows or deep folds near the
mouth/nose are not realistic indications for WRA treatment.

How does Skin Tightening
via Wrinkle Treatment with elōs™ ReFirme™ ST Applicator work?
The ReFirme™ ST procedure
combines safe and effective levels of infrared light and bipolar
radiofrequency energies to remodel the dermal layer of the skin by
stimulating new collagen growth. Both laser and radiofrequency have
been used separately for decades in medicine and surgery, but the ST
exclusively combines infrared light and bipolar radio-frequency
energy for ideal treatment outcomes with a very low risk of side
effects and virtually no down-time.
What results can one expect from the ReFirme™ ST Applicator
treatment?
ReFirme™ ST can improve
skin laxity and sagginess of the face, neck and some body areas such
as the abdomen or upper arms. Skin texture can also be smoothed out
by the tightening and firming effect of treatment. This treatment is
performed non-ablatively, which means this is a non-invasive
procedure. Most people leave the treatment office with only slight
pinkness or no pinkness at all. Patients can return to normal
activities immediately.
How many treatments are required?
Most patients will have
between 3-5 treatments.
How often are treatments done?
Treatment sessions are
typically 2-4 weeks apart.
How is ReFirme™ ST Applicator treatment tolerated by the patient?
The ReFirme ST procedure
is well tolerated by most patients without any topical anesthetic or
other means of analgesia. The treatment tip is chilled so it
provides contact cooling to the skin surface for added comfort.
Is treatment with the Refirme™ ST Applicator safe?
ANY medical aesthetic
procedure has risk of side effects such as superficial blistering,
crusting, and pigmentary changes in the skin. These risks are rare
and usually quickly resolved.
Who should be treated with the ReFirme™ ST Applicator?
All skin colors can be
treated with the ST for laxity, sagginess, loss of elasticity, or
textural irregularities. Treatment can be done on face, neck, or
certain body areas. Individual patient candidacy should be discussed
with your patients.

Facial Vein Treatment
How does Facial Vein
Treatment with elōs™ technology work?
The elōs™ technology
combines safe and effective levels of laser and radiofrequency
(electric current) energies to remove small unwanted vessels. Both
laser and radiofrequency have been used separately for decades in
medicine and surgery, but the elōs™ technology exclusively combines
light and electric energy for ideal treatment outcomes – improve
facial vascular lesions with a very low risk of side effects.
What results can one expect from the elōs™ technology treatment?
The elōs™ technology can
improve unsightly leg veins, facial spider veins and other unwanted
vascular lesions. Spider veins on the face and neck (telangiectasias) will
gradually fade and can be treated until patient satisfaction has
been reached.
How many treatments are required?
Most patients will have
between 1-3 treatments. Some vessels may require more than 3
treatment sessions.
How often are treatments done?
Treatment sessions are
typically 4 weeks apart.
How is elōs™ technology treatment tolerated by the patient?
The sensation may be
described as a “hot pinch”. Patients tolerate treatment well by use
of either cooling the skin during treatment and/or use of a topical
anesthetic cream that numbs the skin.
Is treatment with the elōs™ technology safe?
ANY medical laser
procedure has risk of side effects such as superficial blistering,
crusting, and pigmentary changes in the skin. These risks are rare
and usually quickly resolved. The elōs™ technology incorporates
several technological advances that focus on patient safety to
minimize these risks and provide greater satisfaction. The laser
handpiece is also cooled for skin protection and comfort during the
procedure.
Who should be treated with the elōs™ technology ?
Anyone with unwanted
vascular lesions may be a candidate for treatment with the elōs™ technology
. Removal of vascular lesions with the combined technology (laser
and radio frequency) is a safe and effective alternative for
patients who want non-invasive approach to vascular treatment. elōs™ technology
is the clear choice for patients who do not like needles or who have
had adverse reaction to solutions that are injected into the vein
during Sclerotherapy.

How does skin
rejuvenation with elōs™ SR Applicator technology work?
The SR uses focused light and bi-polar radio frequency energies to
restore skin to a more youthful state. Brown spots (pigmented
imperfections) from sun damage and aging, red blotchiness from
spider vessels or rosacea (vascular imperfections), and uneven skin
texture will improve over a treatment series.
What results can one expect from the SR Applicator treatment?
Each SR treatment will
result in gradual lightening and improvement of pigmented and
vascular imperfections. Textural improvements are appreciated
towards the end of the treatment series.
How frequently does one need SR Applicator treatments?
Treatments are repeated
every month for a total of 5 treatments.
What happens after each SR Applicator treatment?
Temporary pinkness in the
skin lasts a very short time, and most people return to work or
normal activities immediately after treatment. The improvement in
pigmented and vascular irregularities can often be appreciated by
the time patients return for their next treatment a month later.
Brown spots temporarily go darker before they lighten.
What is the average number of treatments for SR?
Photodamaged skin,
erythema from Rosacea, Telangiectasias and pigmented lesions
typically require 4- 5 treatment sessions. Some resistant vascular
and pigmented lesions may require more than 5 sessions to achieve
fading or improvement. Fine lines, pore size and superficial
depressed scarring may also show noticeable softening after 4- 5
treatment sessions treatment time.
Is treatment with the SR Applicator safe?
Treatment is very safe
for the skin. There are many advances in the SR technology that make
it unparalleled for skin safety, without compromising effectiveness
for treatment. There is no long term health hazards from light or
electric energies used in the SR. Both have been used for decades in
medicine, surgery, and aesthetics without adversity.
How is SR Applicator treatment tolerated by the patient?
The sensation is often
described as “a hot pinch” feeling. The sensation only lasts for
fraction of a second, and you may feel warmth or tingling sensation
for a short time afterward. Most people tolerate treatment without
topical anesthetic, but individuals who are more sensitive may
prefer to have the skin numbed before treatment.
Who should get SR Applicator treatment for Skin Rejuvenation?
Anyone who wants to
improve the signs of sun damage and aging in the skin, such as
pigmented and vascular irregularities, uneven or rough skin texture.
Skin rejuvenation can be done on face, neck, chest, hands, and arms.

How does Acne Treatment
with elōs™ work?
The eMax uses a specific spectrum of light that targets the bacteria
that actually causes acne. When this bacteria proliferates in
clogged pores it can cause bumpy and inflamed acne lesions. The eMax
combines light and gentle radio-frequency energies to decrease
proliferation of acne-causing bacteria, and may also affect the
sebaceous gland from over-production of oil and promote healing of
the skin after acne break-outs.
What results can one expect from the eMax Applicator treatment?
Over a series of treatments with the eMax, most patients notice a
faster healing time of existing acne lesions. Frequency and severity
of acne lesions should subside as the treatments go on. As well,
on-going treatments can help to prevent acne break-outs and promote
skin healing after acne break-outs by evening out skin tone and
texture.
How frequently does one need eMax Applicator treatments?
Treatments are done twice a week for four-six weeks. Each treatment
session takes approximately 15 minutes. After the initial series of
treatments, additional treatments may be prescribed spread out over
a longer interval time to fine-tune your therapy and help maintain
the results.
What happens after each eMax Applicator treatment?
Temporary pinkness in the skin lasts a very short time, and most
people return to work or normal activities immediately after
treatment. Every patient responds differently but most patients
report that they notice improvement as early as three weeks into the
treatment series.
What is the average number of treatments for eMax?
Active acne is treated for 8 sessions performed twice weekly,
followed by maintenance treatments at bi-weekly intervals.
Improvement in acne lesion size may not be noticed until half-way
through the initial treatment series (after 2 weeks or 4 sessions).
Is treatment with the eMax Applicator safe?
Treatment is very safe for all skin tones, even very dark skin.
There are many advances in the eMax technology that make it one of
the safest acne treatment systems available. There is no long term
health hazards from light or radio-frequency energies used in the
eMax. Both have been used for decades in medicine, surgery, and
aesthetics without adversity.
How is eMax Applicator treatment tolerated by the patient?
The sensation is often described as “hot pinch” feeling. The
sensation only lasts for fraction of a second, and you may feel
warmth or a tingling sensation for a short time afterward. The
cooling tip that touches the skin surface makes the treatment both
comfortable and safe. Most patients do not use topical anesthetic to
numb the skin for this procedure.
Who should get eMax Applicator treatment for acne?
Anyone who wants an alternative to traditional topical or oral
therapies for acne, or who have not responded to traditional acne
solutions. Acne on the face, chest, and back are all treatable with
the eMax. There are a few medical conditions that contraindicate
people from treatment.
