Removal of discolorations

How  does it work?

Optical energy is absorbed by a pigment – melanin, converted into thermal energy, which heats up
the cells. Then through the track of the elevated temperature the current flows and it intensifies
the thermal effect. Highly selective action of elos technology protects the surrounding tissues from unnecessary overheating.

 

After the procedure

For the first five days after the treatment it is necessary to avoid factors which can cause
the skin damage, such as hot bath, massages, intensive exercises. For a month after the treatment a patient should avoid sun and use creams with high level of ultraviolet sunscreen
– at least 30 SPF.

 

Results

Removal or lightening of pigmented lesions such as: freckles, senile discolorations, spots after sunbathing. We remove lesions from the whole body, but most often from a face, a neck,
a cleavage, hands, arms and a nape.
The darker the discoloration is (the more pigment it contains), the lower level of energy
and the smaller number of treatments
are needed to remove it.

  
 

Contraindications

- Photoallergy, photohypersensitivity
- Taking Accutane (Isotretinoin)  during last
6 months
- Pregnancy
- Atypical warts, neoplasms, pigmentation disorders
- Implanted pacemaker or automatic internal cardiac defibrillator, (Caution: after consultation with cardiologist)
- Tan
- Unhealthy skin in the procedure region (ulcer,  psoriasis, eczema, rush, infection)
- Taking drugs causing photohypersensitivity
- Keloid in history
- Uncontrolled diabetes

 

If diluting blood, anticoagulant drugs 
are taken, it is indicated to discontinue 
them two weeks before the procedure.
After aggressive chemical, mechanical  peeling, skin injection or fillers administration you should wait for the  procedure for two weeks. After laser dermabrasion you should wait for the  procedure for at least three months.

 

What is an Elos technology

  • The synergistic acting of optical and high frequency current energies.Optical energy is absorbed by
    the pigment (hemoglobin in blood vessels, melanin) and exchanged into warmth, which in a thermal way destroys the target cells. A current is conducted through the route of increased temperature and additionally heats the target. The current action does not depend on the amount of melanin in epidermis, because of that, these procedures can be carried out even among people having dark complexion, without any risk of damaging the epidermis. The electric energy has ability to penetrate much deeper reaching deeper lying structures than an optical energy alone.
  • The increased effectiveness and safety of procedures where the elos system technology is used.
    The greater safety is connected with the usage of lower level of optical energy, what is compensated by a strong and highly selective action of bipolar current. The summary amount of energy is higher but risk of epidermis damage minimal. This unique synergy enables to reach the deeper lying structures and the structures which have smaller ability to absorb the optical energy: fair hair, collagen, fat. During
    the procedure a skin temperature is being monitored all the time.
