Laser Hair Removal using Elos Technology by Syneron makes permanent hair removal available even if you have dark or tanned skin and lighter hair. It is a very precise technique that superheats the hair follicle, permanently disabling it but cools the skin, leaving the surrounding cells undamaged. The unwanted hair is removed with no downtime.
Older laser hair removal systems were less effective or completely ineffective for people with light hairs or darker skin tones. Elos has resolved this problem, making permanent hair removal possible for more people than ever before.
Elos accomplishes this by using a combination of light and radio frequency (RF) energy. This combination reduces the amount of light energy needed, making the procedure safer and reducing the potential for side effects.
The light energy preheats the hair and follicle, creating a path for the RF energy. The RF energy then follows this pathway to target the hair follicle. The hair follicle is permanently disabled so it will not longer produce hair.
The light and RF energy combination means that less energy is needed than when using light energy alone. Your skin remains cool, preventing unwanted side effects, and there is no downtime.

Laser hair removal that relies on light energy alone targets the darker cells and destroys them. That is why older methods produce the best results with dark hairs and light skin tones. While these methods were a vast improvement over techniques such as electrolysis, they could not produce results in everyone and still carried the potential of heating and damaging the surrounding skin.
Elos laser hair removal has bypassed these drawbacks.
