Minimally invasive methods of struggle against the manifestations of photoaging and biological aging in recent years are at the top of the popularity. And this is very natural: who wants to go under the surgeon's knife, and if without such drastic measures to lose extra age, and without pain and anesthesia with a minimum period of rehabilitation.
ELOS-rejuvenation is one of the most effective and comfortable for the patient hardware techniques that allows to correct aesthetic defects of the skin and remove the major signs of aging. Its action is based on the combined effect of light and radio frequency radiation, which provides a pronounced and long-lasting results with almost total security.
What is the difference of new technologies from the classic photorejuvenation? Are there contraindications? What results can you expect and how much it will cost the full course? TecRussia.ru our experts and specialists of the leading clinics of aesthetic response to all the main questions:
The abbreviation for ELOS stands for Electro-Optical Synergy. The name, of course, there are no coincidence points of two types of energy used at the time of carrying out this procedure:
Originally, the technique was developed as an innovative method of hair removal, here their action is in general similar to the laser, but to remove not only dark and dense, but also light and thin hair. But the reaction of the skin was much more interesting: after the course of treatments she was getting more toned, soft and hydrated, receipt and the improvement of color, reduction of the severity of the wrinkles, the pigmentation was lighter, disappeared from the vascular mesh and even acne.
electro-optical effect occurs in 2 stages:
This combined thermal effects will be much more efficient and friendly than a stand-alone light. This is due to the fact that in the second case, the epidermis prevents the penetration of the light energy in the deeper layers of the dermis, the accumulation of heat and greatly increasing the risk of burns and hyperpigmentation. It is for this reason that it is traditional photo rejuvenation (IPL) has many restrictions on the use. The current use allows to avoid this obstacle, and only affect the targeted area, almost without affecting the surrounding tissue.
Experts recommend to start ELOS-rejuvenation of the appearance of obvious signs of Chrono - and photoaging. Tend to be evident in 30-40 years, but sometimes earlier, everything here is very individual. The range of problems that it faces, this method is very wide:
For greater effect, modern electro-optical devices are adjusted to the patient with consideration of skin color, age group and specific aesthetic problems.
The equipment for ELOS treatments manufactured by Syneron Medical LTD. Other official manufacturers in the market. The programming includes brands such as E-light, E-style, E-max, Aurora and others. However, the patient does not matter what type of device is in the clinic, since they differ only in the set of nozzles, which you can work.
Before the start of the course will prepare the skin for the heat. For this reason, in 2 weeks we will have:
3-4 days before the session, you have to add the restrictions to the action, the irritation of the skin: it is impossible to bathe in the sauna, sauna, taking a hot bath, do the cleaning of the face, use scrub, etc.
All the nozzles for ELOS machines have filters that mute the flash, so that the temperature of the surface of the skin exceeds the normal no more than 5-10 degrees. During the treatment patients do not feel pain: can feel a bit of tingling and warmth, which almost is not uncomfortable. The exception is the removal of a vascular grid, in particular the sensitive areas of the face such as the nose wings: csclerosing will be painful, even in the safest modes of treatment.Before starting the procedure, the doctor cleans the skin of all the dirt and cover it with conductive gel, and the eye of the patient closes the special protection glasses. The session lasts from 30 to 120 minutes, depending on the size of the area treated and the nature of the problems dermatological. Thus, for the face is sufficient for 40-45 minutes, but the work on the complex face-the neck-the neck will take at least 1.5 hours.
Standard ELOS-rejuvenation consists of 4-6 treatments, performed c interval in 1-1,5 months (for example, a time interval necessary for the recovery of the epidermis, and the full manifestation of the effect of the temperature in the deeper layers of the dermis). Positive changes can be seen a few weeks after the first session. However, some improvement of skin texture and skin tightening and pore constriction occur in a few days. And saved the result in 1.5-2 years.
If in addition to rejuvenation, you must also eliminate the imperfections of the skin (stretch marks, scars, spots, vascular, and education), it is necessary to adopt a more long-term expectation.
As well, the pigmentation becomes lighter, not before 3-4 weeks after the start of treatment, and the vascular mesh starts to disappear only after 8 to 10 weeks.
The celebration of the ELOS treatments is eliminated in the presence of one or more factors:Contraindications, possible complications and side effects
The main side effects, which points out an important part of the patients slight swelling and redness of the treated area, which 2-3 days are themselves. More serious problems arise in the beauty of the basic concepts of the intervention:
In these cases, the possible burns, wounds, redness, scars and other skin deformities, correct that sometimes it can be very difficult. To avoid these complications it is easy, we only need to responsibly approach the choice of the cosmetologist and the clinic.
In connection with this, as did others in different degrees of innovative techniques, there are always some doubts in safety. In particular, it was argued that the intense irradiation of the skin, light can cause melanoma malignization, and other neoplasms. The same is true for the assets of the ultraviolet radiation, but in electro-optical devices are used, only the infrared light, so that any correlation of these c procedures Oncology experts completely deny.
Main features and wrong ideas about the electro-optical rejuvenation. Says Dr. Ivanov I. N.
ELOS if you do not cause skin cancer, I am sure that the beauty Irina Ivanova of the clinical DoctorPlastic If the treatment area is a tumor, that will be the course of derivation. And I advise patients in advance to make sure they are not malignant. Cancer is a contraindication for any treatment, since any exposure can lead to accelerated tumor development. However, if initially the cancer was gone, ELOS does not cause!
Prices per session will depend on the square of the objective of the area and that the aesthetic problem of the patient to be treated. Also, it is the age of the equipment used, the title of doctor of the clinic of the pricing policy. The average price for 1 session of ELOS-rejuvenation of Moscow are:
