Epilation Elos

Epilation allows you to get rid of unwanted vegetation on any part of the body. This procedure is the complete removal of the hair, along with the root. This result is achieved by pulling out or destroying vegetation with electric current or light. Elos hair removal technology is quite new, but it has already earned the recognition of users and specialists. This technique combines the action of light and electric current. With its effectiveness, it is considered the safest of the radical methods of hair removal. Allows you to get rid of vegetation forever and enjoy smooth, beautiful, well-groomed skin.

Elos epilation combines two technologies to get rid of unwanted body hairs. The advantages of photo and laser hair removal are combined in this novelty and are complemented by the protection of the skin from damage during the operation of the device.

An electric current acts on the hair follicle, destroying it. The hair is removed permanently. Flashes of high-frequency light heat the hair shaft evenly, along its entire length.Simultaneous exposure allows you to reduce pain during work. The device does not harm the skin, does not burn. The special nozzle additionally cools the areas affected by the epilator.

Like the previous methods, the Elos epilation procedure only affects those hairs that are actively growing at the time of exposure. All others that are in other phases of life remain untouched. Therefore, to completely cleanse the skin of vegetation, six to ten repetitions of the procedure in the same place may be required. The time between procedures should be about one and a half or two months - depending on the rate of development of the hairline.

The procedure itself was invented at the end of the last century by scientists from Israel, who patented it and made a breakthrough in cosmetology and medicine. At the moment, devices for use in cosmetology clinics are supplied by the company Syneron Medical, which is the owner of the patent.

To carry out Elos hair removal at home, you can purchase a home appliance that performs this function. Of course, it will cost a lot, about 20-25 thousand. However, such a device will allow you to clear the body of vegetation in those places where you need it. Of course, it is very convenient to be able to practice the beauty of your body in comfortable conditions.

This option is suitable for those who do not like to show themselves naked to strangers, even if they are doctors. However, experts believe that a home appliance cannot achieve the same efficiency as a salon one.Firstly, it has less power, which determines the degree of impact on the hairs. Therefore, there is no absolute guarantee that it is your type of hair that will be completely removed. Secondly, watching a few training videos will not make an ignorant person a professional. This means that it is unlikely that it will be possible to achieve the same skill as that of professionals in the salon. Thirdly, it will be quite problematic to do epilation of hard-to-reach areas (armpits, deep bikini) on your own.

The procedures of laser hair removal, photoepilation and Elos have similar features. This is due to the mechanism of action. The latter method combines the effects of electric current and light, which improves efficiency and reduces the likelihood of unpleasant consequences.

Comparison of all types of hair removal shows that "Elos" has the best performance:

• The action of photoepilation devices is based on the fact that light affects the melanin contained in the hair structure. The less melanin, the less effective this type of procedure is. Therefore, for gray-haired and very fair-haired women, photoepilation can be a complete waste of time and money. Elos, on the other hand, uses electricity simultaneously with a pulse of light, which warms up the bulb of even very light hairs devoid of melanin.
• Hair removal using light energy often does not completely destroy the bulb. After one and a half or two years, you need to resort to a new course of procedures."Elos" completely destroys the bulb. The full passage of the course effect can get rid of hair growth forever.

• Laser hair removal is known for its high-quality effect on dark-colored hairs. However, this type has a large number of side effects and is recognized as quite painful.

All mentioned types of hair removal are similar to each other in that a positive result cannot be achieved at one time. This is due to the fact that all the hairs on the body have different growth phases. The impact of current and light works only with those hairs that are in the active growth phase. All others are unaffected. Therefore, you have to wait for the moment when they begin to grow, and remove them in the next procedure.

At first, the Elos hair removal procedure was carried out only in special medical cosmetology salons that had the appropriate certificates and equipment. Some time ago the company Syneron Medical made the technology convenient for home use. Specialists have developed compact devices "illumination", able to get rid of unwanted vegetation in any area of ​​the body (without pain and discomfort).

They have a number of advantages:

• production according to the company's technology, standardization and certification of all manufactured devices;
• performance on any type and color of skin and hair;
• painlessness and no need for a recovery period;
• results can be seen in six weeks application once a week;
• the method is safe and has no side effects;
• even use in summer is possible and combination with sunburn;
• can be applied to vegetation on the face;
• the lamp during its operation can produce about three hundred thousand flashes, which is sufficient for a full course.

At the moment, the company distributes two products in our country:

1. "Iluminage Me Touch 300K" - allows you to remove hairs everywhere, including the upper lip and chin.
2. "Iluminage Precise Touch"- suitable for epilation of the legs, intimate area, armpits, chin, cheeks and upper lip.

Both versions of the devices have all resolutions, are convenient and easy to use. They can be used with any shade of the epidermis and hair, they work even on very light, gray and vellus hair.

Recently, fakes of certified Elos epilators have begun to appear on the market. It must be remembered that Syneron only produces epilators under the Iluminage brand. You can find devices with the name "Tanda" on sale.

The epilation procedure according to the Elos method is possible on any part of the body. It may take up to eight to ten procedures to completely get rid of vegetation. The technology is very effective - including for the male sex. It allows you to fight hair in places where others can not cope. Well proven for hands, hands and fingers.

The painlessness of the procedure allows it to be carried out even on the skin near the mammary glands, on the stomach. Classical and deep epilation of the intimate area is also possible, and without subsequent problems and complications. If the skin is sensitive, local anesthesia can be used to minimize discomfort.

On the face, epilation is also in high demand, especially in the upper lip, chin, cheeks and neck. Here you need to consider whether the person using the procedure has problems with the hormonal background. Due to the greatest susceptibility to changes with fluctuations in hormones, the number of procedures in these areas can be increased to fifteen.

The impact according to the Elos method is generally safe, but it has contraindications (like any medical intervention):

1. The first contraindication is the presence of an allergic reaction to the sun or light.
2. Availability oncological disease.
3. HIV, AIDS or immunosuppression (due to the use of drugs-suppressors).
4. Blood clotting problems or taking anticoagulants (substances that reduce clotting).
5. Any infection (for example, herpes) in violation of the skin in the area of ​​the procedure.

1. Keloid scars or formations on the dermis that can develop into cancer.
2. In case of epilation of the face - laser or deep chemical peels performed within the last three months.
3. Metal implants in the affected area.
4. Wearing a pacemaker.
5. Pregnancy and lactation.
6. When treating the intimate area, nipples or armpits, it is necessary to carry out Ultrasound and consultation with an endocrinologist or mammologist.

The results of the procedure will depend on the type of hairs, the skill of the beautician and the number of previous sessions. After visiting the wizard, you can expect the following changes:

1. Full course procedures for 85% guarantees the complete disposal of vegetation in the selected area - forever.
2. Do not expect new hairs or blackheads to appear.
3. The skin will become softer, elastic and velvety.
4. May reduce sweating especially in the underarm area.

Elos procedures compare favorably with any other hair removal methods.

Depilation cannot be compared with any type of hair removal. This is the removal of only that part of the hair that is above the surface of the dermis. Epilation removes the entire hair - along with the root. In this regard, the period for the appearance of a new hair after depilatory methods (shaving, chemical cream) is reduced to one or two days. At the same time, irritations often occur due to the frequency of shaving, ingrown hairs appear, and indeed, such a procedure is not a pleasure, especially with daily use.

Hair removal with the help of light is quite popular among the fair sex. However, the photoepilator cannot cope with light or gray hairs. Elos, on the other hand (due to the combined effect of light with electric current), is able to cope with vegetation with any melanin content.

Electrolysis is able to cope with any type of vegetation. However, it has its significant drawbacks.During the procedure, a thin medical needle is inserted into the hair follicle, through which an electric current flows. This allows you to completely destroy the follicle, but causes pain.

Due to penetration into the lower layers of the dermis, there is a high risk of infection and the appearance of pimples in the treatment area (even if done correctly). In addition, due to the wrong choice of current strength, there is a high probability of the formation of small scars and scars, which will not beautify even hairless skin. Epilation by the Elos method has no side effects. Moreover, the skin after it becomes smoother and more tender, elasticity increases.

Laser hair removal can rightly be considered the most effective. The diode laser is able to cope with any vegetation, but due to the heating of the hair follicle, it can bring discomfort. The surface of the skin is not damaged, there are no injuries. But when removing long, coarse and dark hair, quite unpleasant sensations can occur. With Elos epilation, pain is minimized. The device has a head cooled to five degrees, which does not allow you to feel the temperature increase.

To successfully complete the Elos hair removal procedure, you must follow several rules for preparing for it:

1. Do not actively sunbathe and visit the solarium two weeks before the session. After it, it is also worth keeping a couple of weeks in the shade.
2. A good tan is not contraindicated for this type of hair removal. However, the efficiency of the equipment may still be lower than on light epidermis.Tanned skin is very susceptible and irritable. Because of this, the risk of getting burned or hyperpigmentation on the treated area increases.
3. On the eve of the session, you need to shave the hairs where the treatment is planned. Only they need to be shaved, not plucked. However, if you forget to do this, the master himself will remove the hairs with a disposable razor.
4. After consultation with a beautician, you may also need to visit a mammologist, gynecologist or endocrinologist.

The result after the procedure for removing vegetation is not immediately visible. To notice the increased rarity of the hairline, it may take three to four weeks, during which the life phase of the hairs will change. In this case, the exposed hair will no longer appear. Patients notice a visible effect already after two or three treatments, but a full course is necessary to achieve the desired effect and complete smoothness of the skin.

Specialists and patients note the effectiveness of its use to eliminate the following defects:

• redness and excessive pigmentation;
• vasculitis of various shades;
• asterisks of vessels;
• freckles;
• enlarged pores;
• reduced tone and scars from stretch marks;
• uneven skin tone.

Rejuvenation is achieved through a combination of the action of light and electricity, as well as fine tuning of the device - for each specific person with his type of dermis. There are no side effects, discomfort, recovery period.

Ladies resort to the Elos technology hair removal procedure in order to completely forget about annoying hairs. Naturally, the question of how many procedures will be required for a better result causes excitement. The answer to it will depend on the area to be treated, the shade of the hair and the epidermis:

• Appearance of facial hair (especially in women) is very dependent on the hormonal background. If there are problems with hormones, it may take about 10-15 approaches to completely remove vegetation from the chin and upper lip.
• The armpits do not have a large area and a significant number of hair follicles. In this regard, their processing takes only fifteen minutes. To achieve the result, 3-4 sessions will be enough.
• Legs have the largest area hair coverings, and only about 20% of all are in the phase of active growth. Because of this, their processing will take quite a long time: up to one and a half hours. You will have to come to the master about eight times.
• The bikini area will take about half an hour to thoroughly process. You can make it smooth and clean in 8 repetitions of exposure.

The period of pregnancy and lactation is always stressful for a woman's body. He experiences increased stress associated with the changes taking place in him and the maintenance of a new life. Therefore, the reaction to all new events occurring can be unpredictable.

During pregnancy, you should not resort to any procedures that can cause even the slightest pain. Even slight tingling or pinching during epilation can cause stress for the mother and fetus.

Radiation during the Elos procedure is minimized, but still present. That is why when exposed to the bikini and armpit area, consultation of gynecologists and endocrinologists is required. This is necessary due to the proximity of the lymph nodes in these areas to the surface of the skin. It is better for a future mother to avoid such influences.

User reviews about hair removal using the Elos method are varied. Some who tried it liked the result after the first procedure. Most of the hairs fell out, and the rest became less noticeable.

However, other patients claim that they were disappointed. All removed hairs returned after a while. Without repeating the procedures, you can completely forget about smooth skin even after a full course.

The opinion of doctors agrees that in order to carry out the procedure without consequences, it is necessary to carefully choose a proven master. From oncologists, advice is received to start consulting with doctors - especially when carrying out procedures in the bikini area, armpits or chest.
