Regardless of how you looked after your skin, which creams you purchased to preserve its beauty and youth, a moment comes when the question of its rejuvenation is acute. Nowadays, medicine offers a huge number of methods that are used to obtain a lifting effect. One of these procedures is the elos-rejuvenation of a person, reviews of which have recently gained more and more enthusiasm. Indeed, this method has not only a wonderful effect on the skin, but also gently affects it, despite the use of light and electric radiation. Therefore, we will devote our article to this procedure, namely, what are the elos procedures, in which situations they should be used, and whether there are contraindications.
The essence of the method
This technology has been used relatively recently, but in a short period of time has become quite popular among the female half of the population. Do you know that elos procedures are also used to get rid of unwanted hair? Exactly. Let's see what the essence of this method is.
Elos rejuvenation is a simultaneous effect on age spots, wrinkles, vascular formations, acne, high-frequency electric current and light. It is this combination that eliminates skin defects. Thus, using light pulses, a temperature difference is created between the treated area and the surrounding tissues. As a result, light energy is converted into heat, as a result of which the temperature in the altered tissues rises sharply, and at the same time their electrical conductivity improves.
Electric current destroys unnecessary cells, selectively acting on them. Along with this, healthy tissues practically do not touch. Also, warming promotes increased formation of elastin and collagen, because they are responsible for the firmness and elasticity of the skin.
For each patient, individual parameters of the affecting pulse are selected depending on the problem and the condition of the skin. Elos rejuvenation is an absolutely safe procedure, in addition, running processes have been functioning for a long time. After applying this technique, there are no burns or any injuries left, despite the rather intense effect of current on the skin.

Benefits
Do you know that you do not need to use anesthesia or use painkillers in this situation? So you can not be afraid and boldly carry out elos rejuvenation. The device contains an applicator that gently acts on the skin due to its sparing temperature regime, as a result of which the flashes are less bright, so only a slight tingling sensation is felt. Pain can be felt only when processing areas on the wings of the nose, in other cases everything happens painlessly.
The first positive changes will be noticeable after the first procedure. Experts who carry out elos-treatment, claim that the skin will not suffer burns, swelling and redness. The latter indicator can occur only when the patient is sunbathing in the sun in the last days before this procedure.
Elos rejuvenation of a person, reviews of which in 97% of cases are positive, is carried out in 5-6 procedures. The intervals between them are about one month, or even more. Duration depends on the size of the cultivated area, the average duration is about 45 minutes. The number of procedures most often depends on the neglect of the problem, so the doctor decides on this. The session can be repeated after a while for the purpose of prevention, but only after consultation with a competent doctor.
The procedure itself
Elos facial rejuvenation, reviews of which are negative if patients and cosmetologists do not comply with certain requirements, is a rather gentle procedure. Before its use, the desired area of ββthe skin is cleansed of cosmetics and perfumes, degreased. Then a gel conductor is applied to the skin. Special safety glasses are put on the eyes, the skin is freed from unnecessary hairs.
The temperature of the apparatus varies between 5-10 Ν¦ C. At the same time, warmth and slight tingling are felt. If the patient experiences unpleasant sensations or pain, although this happens only in rare cases, the beautician should choose a more gentle program for him.
What should not be done before the elos procedure?
The patients' reviews showed that in some cases redness appears, but, we repeat, this happens when the patient is sunbathing before the session, so you should not visit the solarium or take sun baths 2 weeks before the elos procedures.
For two weeks you do not need to make any injections in the treatment area.
You should not bathe in the bath and visit the saunas.
Without fail, mechanical and chemical irritations should be avoided several days before and after the elos procedure.
Elos treatments for acne, is it effective?
Today, acne is one of the most common problems among young people, which most often occurs during puberty. The affected areas in most cases are the face, neck, back. The cause of this disease is the excessive functioning of the sebaceous glands, as a result of which the pores become clogged and become an excellent source for the spread of bacteria. As a result, pimples with black heads (blackheads) appear. This is how acne manifests itself.
Today, there are a huge number of different drugs and agents that help fight this disease, but one of the most effective ways is elos. Acne treatment in this way can eliminate not only the consequences of the disease, but also get rid of some of the causes that caused it.
Elos is used both in the acute stage of the disease and in chronic (scars, scars, stagnant spots).
It is the combination of short-wave pulsed energy and radio frequency pulses that allows us to achieve the expected effect.
The combination of radiofrequency exposure to the skin with blue light energy eliminates bacteria and inflammation. The skin is cleaned quickly enough, and the epidermis is not damaged, and the functioning of the sebaceous glands is normalized. In this case, we can say with confidence that the effect will be quite long.
The course is conducted in 6-8 procedures 2 times a week, depending on the neglect of the problem. To achieve an additional effect, the doctor prescribes subsequent supportive procedures.
When an elos treatment of acne is carried out, then slight painful sensations are felt. But you can still tolerate, because the result will live up to all expectations. After the procedure, a slight burning sensation, redness, small swelling may appear in the treated area, which will disappear in a few days.
Cuperosis and elos treatment
Cuperosis is a violation of blood circulation in the skin, which is manifested by the expansion of small vessels. Another name for the disease is βred meshβ. Cuperosis occurs due to stagnation of blood in small skin vessels. The disease looks like a small red net, which is formed by capillaries and blood vessels.
Elos-treatment of rosacea is light and radio wave radiation that clearly affects each individual pigment or capillary. Under the influence of light energy, capillaries or vessels are heated to the desired temperature, as a result of which they become invisible. Then the pigment is destroyed, then the pigmented skin is exfoliated.
The benefits of elos procedures in the treatment of rosacea
- They remove pigmented spots after the first procedure.
- Expand blood vessels.
- Eliminate vascular asterisks, produce a rejuvenating effect.
- After the session, the patient can lead a familiar lifestyle.
For each patient, individual parameters are set. When conducting elos- treatment of rosacea, slight tingling is felt. The effect can be seen after the first procedure, the skin becomes lighter and looks healthier and more well-groomed.
Contraindications to elos procedures
- Pregnancy.
- Skin diseases.
- Connective tissue diseases.
- Acute infectious diseases.
- Endocrine diseases.
- Allergy to the light.
- Strong tan.
Side effects
- Swelling, redness that goes away after a while.
- Peeling, bruising, blisters.
- Slight pain, tingling during the procedure.
- Darkening of the skin in the treatment area.
- After removal of the vascular network for several days there will be edema, which will soon pass.
To eliminate cosmetic and dermatological defects, elos procedures can be carried out from the age of 18, but only on the advice of a doctor. And from 35-40 they are contraindicated, since it is at this age that the initial signs of aging are observed. Patients older than 40 are prescribed elos procedures along with other rejuvenation products.
Complications after the elos procedure
Bruises and burns appear when the doctor violates the technology of the procedure, as well as improperly selects exposure parameters and mishandles the hardware nozzles.
If before the procedure the patient is sunbathing in the sun, then hardware exposure can cause significant burns. It is only allowed to go outside in sunny weather using sunscreen.
The nozzles of the elos apparatus should change immediately after their life has expired. So, if you use expired elements, the patient may experience serious complications. The intensity of the degree of exposure should also be controlled, for example, hand treatment needs more intensity, and the eyelid needs much less.
For patients who want to remove age spots, you should know that elos procedures relieve them, but do not protect against the appearance of new ones. Therefore, to achieve effectiveness, you should find the cause of pigmentation and eliminate it as soon as possible.
Some unscrupulous cosmetologists save on a gel conductor. Remember that you pay money for this, and you have the right to insist that there is enough gel on the face, otherwise the consequences may be irreversible.
There were cases when the skin in the treatment area became more flabby, and the face contour remained the same, therefore this cast doubt on the elos-rejuvenation of the face. Reviews in this case were negative. But everything is explainable. This occurs when the interval between the procedures is less than 3 weeks. Indeed, the frequent implementation of elos rejuvenation can produce the opposite effect, since at least 28 days must pass for the formation of collagen fibers.
Undoubtedly, elosolation cannot guarantee 100% safety, and this should be taken into account when contacting a cosmetologist. But most of the positive reviews indicate the effectiveness of the procedure, despite the fact that a few days after conducting elos-procedures, the appearance may not be attractive enough. Remember that before contacting a particular clinic, you should collect as many reviews as possible about it.
