 Elos is the
abbreviation that stands for electric and optical synergy, i.e. combined influence.
Under the influence of Elos epilation the hair follicle is destroyed by the parallel
action of two energies, that is high-frequency photon pulse and electricity. A doctor
may want to control the intensity of light energy and radio waves subject to
individual skin type of every patient and skin reaction to the procedure.
Prior to
starting the procedure the area of the planned epilation is thoroughly cleaned,
hair is removed by disposable razor. During the Elos epilation the client lies
onto the coach and wears dark protective glasses. A doctor spreads a special
gel onto the skin. Then the skin surface is treated by intensive and short alternating
light of the unit. Upon completion of the procedure the sedative spray is put
onto the treated area.
The whole procedure
lasts from 10 to 30 minutes depending on the treated area. And usually 5 to 6 and
sometimes from 8 to 10 procedures are required to reach the log-time effect.
Thus, the number of procedures depends on the hair thickness, physiology and
localization. A procedure of Elos epilation is repeated every 4 to 6 weeks. Apart
from hair coat features the efficacy depends upon hormonal and genetic factors

depilating cream or razor. If you remove growing hair by forceps or apply wax
