Sublative Rejuvenation (Sublative Rejuvenation Applicator)
How does Sublative Rejuvenation work?
The eMatrix system's ergonomic applicator delivers bipolar radio frequency energy via a matrix of 64 electrodes in the disposable applicator tip. The RF energy generates fractional deep dermal heating in the region of the electrode matrix to induce skin injury, thus eliciting a wound healing response. Mild to moderate wrinkles and superficial skin discoloration are reduced, and skin texture becomes more smooth and elastic.
Who should be treated with Sublative Rejuvenation?
Treatment is a safe and effective solution for all skin types.
When can patients expect to see results?
Post treatment, they may notice tone and texture improvements as a result of increased levels of beneficial collagen and new healthy skin cells which are produced. With the treatment's dermal impact, mild to moderate wrinkles and superficial skin discolorations are reduced. Typical treatment protocol is 3 treatments, 4 - 6 weeks apart. The total number of required treatment sessions depends on the skin condition of the patient.
How is the Sublative Rejuvenation treatment tolerated by patients?
During treatment, many patients feel a warm, prickly sensation as energy enters their skin. After treatment a pink or red "sunburn" appearance and feeling is also common. Topical anesthetic ointments and cooling are often used to reduce discomfort during treatment.
What are the cleaning guidelines for the disposable treatment tips?
The treatment tip will need to be cleaned every 25 pulses. The system will stop pulsing and ask that you clean the treatment tip. The tip should not be removed but rather wiped down with a gauze pad moistened with 70% alcohol.
Is Sublative Rejuvenation available for upgrade to my current Syneron system?
The applicator is compatible with the eLight, eLaser, and eMax systems. The Sublative Rejuvenation upgrade kit includes the applicator, new software, 10 treatment tips, 10 test tips, the User Manual, and a Quick Reference Guide.
What are the three treatment programs?
The SelectPulse™ feature has three Sublative Rejuvenation programs for adjusting the depth and intensity of ablation and dermal heating to treat a range of skin conditions. Program A (shallow impact) is for mild ablation, dermal heating and skin resurfacing--for improvements in overall skin tone and texture. Program B (mid-level impact) is for moderate ablation, dermal heating and skin resurfacing--for color and textural irregularity correction. Program C (deepest impact) is to create intense ablation and skin resurfacing.
Ultra Fast Hair Removal (DS and DSL Applicators)
How does Hair Removal with elōs™ DS/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 elōs hair removal systems?
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). The DSL applicator has an added benefit of treating large zones very fast.
How efficacious is the treatment?
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 the treatment safe?
Treatment is very safe for the skin. There are many advances in the technology that make elōs 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 elōs. Both optical and radio frequency have been used for decades in medicine, surgery, and aesthetics without adversity.
How is the 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 elōs treatment?
Each DS/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 elōs hair removal treatments?
The treatments are usually performed every 2-3 months, but this depends on individual factors.
What happens after each elōs hair removal 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 elōs 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.
What is the average number of treatments for elōs hair removal, dark hair?
The average number of treatments is 6-8 to achieve satisfactory clearance, but some patients may require more or less. Men’s backs and chests, facial hair and hormonal hair take more than the average number of sessions, usually 8 or more.
Wrinkle Reduction (WRA Applicator)
How does Wrinkle Treatment with elōs™ 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 elōs™ wrinkle 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 treatments?
Treatment sessions are typically 3-4 weeks apart.
How is elōs™ 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 elōs™ 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. elōs™ 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 elōs™ technology for wrinkles?
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.
Does it hurt?
Refirme is a gentle, comfortable treatment requiring no downtime. Many patients return to normal activities immediately after the treatment. Cooling of the skin’s surface provides enhanced safety and additional comfort.
How often are treatments done?
Most patients will have between 3-5 sessions typically 3-4 weeks apart. The best results are seen 3-6 months post completion with maintenance every 6 months.
When can the patient expect to see results?
Most patients see gradual and cumulative results throughout the Refirme skin treatments. The total number of required treatment sessions depends on the patient’s skin condition.
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.
Leg & Facial Vein Treatment (LV and LVA Applicators)
How does Leg & Facial Vein Treatment with elōs™ LV/LVA Applicator work?
The LV/LVA Applicator combines safe and effective levels of laser and radiofrequency (electric current) energies to remove leg veins and other unwanted vessels. Both laser and radiofrequency have been used separately for decades in medicine and surgery, but the LV exclusively combines light and electric energy for ideal treatment outcomes – improve leg veins and vascular lesions with a very low risk of side effects.
What results can one expect from the LV/LVA Applicator treatment?
The LV/LVA can improve unsightly leg veins, facial spider veins and other unwanted vascular lesions. Spider veins and larger blue-green vessels on legs 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 6-8 weeks apart. Smaller spider veins may be treated every 4 weeks.
How is LV/LVA Applicator 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 LV/LVA 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 LV/LVA 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 LV/LVA Applicator?
Anyone with unwanted leg veins or vascular lesions may be a candidate for treatment with the LV/LVA. Removal of vascular lesions and veins with elōs™ technology (laser and radio frequency) is a safe and effective alternative for patients who want non-invasive approach to vascular treatment. LV/LVA 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.
Skin Rejuvenation (SR and SRA Applicators)
How does skin rejuvenation with elōs™ SR/SRA Applicator technology work?
The SR/SRA 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/SRA Applicator treatment?
Each SR/SRA 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/SRA Applicator treatments?
Treatments are repeated every month for a total of 5 treatments.
What happens after each SR/SRA 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 the SR/SRA?
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/SRA Applicator safe?
Treatment is very safe for the skin. There are many advances in the SR/SRA technology that make it unparalleled for skin safety, without compromising effectiveness for treatment. There are no long term health hazards from light or electric energies used in the SR/SRA. Both have been used for decades in medicine, surgery, and aesthetics without adversity.
How is the SR/SRA 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 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/SRA 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.
Acne Treatment (AC Applicator)
How does Acne Treatment with elōs™ AC Applicator work?
The AC 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 AC 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 AC Applicator treatment?
Over a series of treatments with the AC, 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 AC 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 AC 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 AC?
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 AC Applicator safe?
Treatment is very safe for all skin tones, even very dark skin. There are many advances in the AC 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 AC. Both have been used for decades in medicine, surgery, and aesthetics without adversity.
How is AC 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 AC 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 AC. There are a few medical conditions that contraindicate people from treatment.
