Epilation elos

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

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

Electric current affects the hair follicle, destroying it. Hair is removed forever. High-frequency light flashes heat the hair shaft evenly over its entire length. Simultaneous exposure allows you to reduce pain during work. The device does not harm the skin, does not burn. A special nozzle additionally cools the areas affected by the epilator.

Like the previous methods, the procedure of Elos-epilation affects only those hairs that actively grow at the moment of exposure. All others that are in other phases of life remain intact. Therefore, to completely cleanse the skin of vegetation, it may take from six to ten repetitions of the procedure at the same place. The time between treatments should be about one and a half or two months - depending on the speed of development of hair.

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, the company supplies devices for use in cosmetic clinics. Syneron medicalwhich owns 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 dearly, about 20-25 thousand. However, such a device will allow you to clear the body of vegetation in those places where it is necessary for you. Of course, it is very convenient to be able to practice the beauty of your body in a comfortable environment.

This option is suitable for those who do not like to be shown in the nude to strangers, even if they are doctors. However, experts believe that the home appliance can not achieve the same efficiency as the salon. Firstly, it has less power, which determines the degree of impact on the hairs. Therefore, there is no absolute guarantee that it is your hair type that will be completely removed. Secondly, viewing of several training videos will not be able to make an ignorant person a professional. This means that it is unlikely to achieve the same skill as the professionals in the salon. Thirdly, it will be rather problematic to make epilation of hard-to-reach zones (axillary hollows, deep bikini) on your own.

Laser hair removal, photo epilation and Elos procedures have similar features. This is due to the mechanism of action. The latter method combines the effects of electric current and light, which allows to increase efficiency and reduce the likelihood of unpleasant consequences.

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

• The effect of photoepilation apparatus is based on the fact that light affects melanin contained in the hair structure. The less melanin, the less effective this type of procedure. Therefore, for gray-haired and very fair-haired women, photo-epilation may turn out to be a complete waste of time and money. Elos, along with a pulse of light, uses electricity, which heats the bulb of even very light hairs devoid of melanin.
• Epilation with the help of light energy often does not completely destroy the bulb. After a half or two years, you need to resort to a new course of procedures. "Elos" completely destroys the bulb. Complete passage of the course impact can get rid of hair growth forever.

• Laser hair removal is known for its quality effect on the dark 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 once. This is due to the fact that all the hairs on the body differ in different phases of growth. Exposure to current and light works only with those hairs that are in the active growth phase. All others are not affected. Therefore, you have to wait for the moment when they begin to grow, and remove them in the next procedure.

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

They are distinguished by a number of advantages:

• production technology company, 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;
• the result can be seen in six weeks application once a week;
• safe method and has no side effects;
• perhaps even use in summer and combining with tan;
• can be used for vegetation on the face;
• the lamp during the work can make about three hundred thousand flashes, which is sufficient for the 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 legs, intimate area, underarms, chin, cheeks and upper lip.

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

Recently, the market began to appear fake certified epilator Elos.It must be remembered that the company Syneron produces only epilators under the brand name "Iluminage". You can find on sale devices with the name "Tanda".

The procedure of epilation according to the “Elos” method is possible on any part of the body. To completely get rid of vegetation, it can take up to eight to ten procedures. The technology is very effective - including for the male. She allows to struggle with hair in those 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 abdomen. Classical and deep epilation of the intimate zone is also possible, and without subsequent problems and complications. If the skin is hypersensitive, you can use local anesthesia to minimize discomfort.

Epilation on the face is also highly demanded, especially in the area of ​​the upper lip, chin, cheeks and neck. Here it is necessary to take into account whether the problem using the procedure has a hormonal background. Due to the greatest susceptibility to changes when hormones fluctuate, the number of procedures in these areas can be increased to fifteen.

Exposure by the method of Elos 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 cancer disease.
3. HIV, AIDS or weakened immunity (due to suppressive drugs).
4. Problems with blood clotting or taking anticoagulants (coagulation reducing agents).
5. Any infection (for example, herpes) in case of 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 peeling over the past three months.
3. Metal implants in the impact zone.
4. Wearing a stimulator of the heart.
5. Pregnancy and lactation.
6. When treating an intimate area, nipples or underarms Ultrasound and consultation of an endocrinologist or breast specialist.

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 complete disposal of vegetation in the selected area - forever.
2. You should not expect the appearance of new hairs or black dots.
3. The skin will become softer, elastic and velvety.
4. May decrease sweating, especially in the armpit area.

Elos procedures compare favorably with any other hair removal methods.

Depilation can not be compared with any version of hair removal. This is the removal of only that part of the hair that is above the surface of the dermis. Epilation also removes all the hair - along with the root. In this regard, the period of appearance of a new hair after depilation methods (shaving, chemical cream) is reduced to one to two days. This often causes irritation due to the frequency of shaving, ingrown hairs appear, and indeed this procedure is not fun, especially with daily use.

Epilation using light is quite popular among the fair sex. However, the photoepilator can not cope with light or gray hairs. Elos (due to the combination of light with an electric current) is able to cope with vegetation with any content of melanin.

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 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 with proper procedure). In addition, due to the wrong choice of current strength, the probability of the formation of small scars and scars is high, which will not beautify even hairless skin. Epilation method "Elos" 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. Diode laser is able to cope with any vegetation, but due to the heating of the hair follicle can cause discomfort. The skin surface is not damaged, there are no injuries. But when you remove long, coarse and dark hair can be quite unpleasant sensations. Elos-epilation minimizes soreness. On the device there is a head, cooled to five degrees, which does not allow you to feel the temperature rise.

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

1. Do not actively sunbathe and visit the solarium two weeks before the session. After it is also worth to stand 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 burns 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 shave, and not to pull out. However, if you forget to do this, the master will remove the hairs himself using a disposable razor.
4. After consultation A visit to a mammologist, gynecologist or endocrinologist may also be required with a cosmetologist.

The result after the procedure for removing vegetation is not immediately visible. It may take three to four weeks to notice the increased rarity of the hair, during which the life phase of the hairs will change. In this case, the exposed hair will not appear. Patients notice a visible effect after two or three procedures, but to achieve the desired effect and complete skin smoothness, a full course is necessary.

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

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

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

Ladies resort to the procedure of hair removal by Elos technology in order to completely forget about the annoying hairs. Naturally, the question of how many procedures are required for a better result is disturbing. The answer to it will depend on the zone, the processing of which is planned, the color of the hair and the epidermis:

• Appearance of facial hair (especially in women) is very dependent on hormonal levels. If you have problems with hormones, it may take about 10-15 approaches to completely remove vegetation from the chin and upper lip.
• Axillaries do not possess large area and a significant number of hair follicles. In this regard, their processing takes only fifteen minutes. To achieve the result will be enough 3-4 sessions.
• The legs have the largest area. cover hair, with only about 20% of all are in the phase of active growth. Because of this, it takes quite a long time to process them: up to an hour and a half. Come to the master will have about eight times.
• The bikini area will require about half an hour for thorough processing. Make it smooth and clean for 8 repetitions of exposure.

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

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

Irradiation during the Elos procedure is minimized, but still present. That is why the impact on the area of ​​bikini and underarms requires consultation gynecologists and endocrinologists. This is necessary because of the proximity of the lymph nodes in these areas to the surface of the skin. Future mother is better to avoid such effects.

User reviews on hair removal method Elos diverse. Some tried 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 some time. Without repeating the procedures, you can completely forget about smooth skin even after a full course.

The opinion of the doctors agrees that in order to carry out the procedure without consequences it is necessary to carefully select a proven master. Oncologists receive advice for starting to consult with doctors - especially when conducting procedures in the bikini, underarm or chest area.
