Getting rid of unwanted hair by razors, waxing or electrolysis can be a nightmare. Now, patients who wish to effectively remove unwanted hair can benefit from the new eLight® system from Syneron, Inc. that uses a technology called ELOS®. This system uses optical energy to heat the hair shaft, combined with radio frequency, which heats and coagulates the follicle itself. The radio frequency is safer because it is not affected by skin color and it delivers satisfying, long-lasting results. With this technology, patients can enjoy the results they desire regardless of the color of their hair or skin type.
How is the eLight® system different from other laser systems?
eLight® is the only system that can rejuvenate the skin and get rid of the “peach fuzz” (tiny white and blonde hairs) that other lasers miss. The eLight® system uses optical energy to heat the hair shaft, combined with radio frequency energy, which heats and coagulates the follicle itself. The radio frequency energy is safer because it is not affected by skin color.
What areas can be treated with eLight?
Because this system treats hundreds of hairs at a time, it is easy to treat small or large areas such as the back, shoulders, arms, legs, face and neck. Best of all, hair removal with eLight® energy is a safe, fast, gentle and effective method for hair removal for all skin types, including dark pigmented skin.
How many treatments will I need?
Hair removal usually requires multiple treatments. For some people 2 - 3 treatments are sufficient; however, black or white hair responds at different rates. Most patients receive treatments until they achieve their desired results.
What are the benefits of eLight® treatments?
- Works on all skin types.
- Can remove all unwanted white, gray, blonde, brown, black and red hair.
- Provides lasting results.
What are the treatments like?
eLight® treatments are very gentle. First, your doctor cleanses the area to be treated. Then a thin layer of gel is applied to the skin. The application tip will feel very cold and when the pulse is administered there is a momentary sensation that is easily tolerated. Treatments can last from a few minutes to a few hours depending on the size of the area being treated.
Following Treatment
After your treatment, the area is cleansed and you can return to your normal activities immediately. Your physician may recommend that you use a specially-formulated skin care product line or prescribe a skin care regime especially formulated for your skin type after laser treatments. The use of sunscreen is recommended on any treated areas exposed to the sun.
