With all the fashion for naturalness, women still strive to get rid of unwanted hair on the body. Some use a razor the old fashioned way, while others go to the salon to try new methods on themselves. But every woman dreams that the process of removing unwanted hairs will be quick, painless and provide a long-lasting effect . Modern technologies are evolving so quickly that they have already combined all these wishes in one method of ELOS hair removal.

The essence of the procedure

Electro-Optical Synergy (synergy is cooperation, in this case, of two types of energies) - this is the name of this procedure, which combines two types of influence - light and heat. The primary light beam passes through the hair and heats up the hair follicle, and the thermal energy finally finishes it off. Thanks to this complex action, the hair and follicle are damaged, deprived of nutrition and die over time. It should be noted that only hairs that are actively growing at the time of the procedure are removed. For full effect on all follicles, at least 4-6 procedures are required.

Before work, a special conductive gel is applied to the skin area. Fast and fairly strong flashes of light can treat a body area of ​​several square centimeters in one “blow” , so the procedure can last from 20 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the scale of the work.

This combined effect allows you to remove thin and light hairs, follicles with a growth depth greater than 4 mm, without damaging the skin . And it is with this method that women associate the most optimistic expectations for permanent hair removal.

How is the procedure performed?

No one lost hair during one procedure, but this is the norm. The body is designed in such a way that there are more bulbs in the skin than hair on the body: some are simply in the active phase, while others are asleep. You can only irradiate those hairs that are on the surface, and they make up about a fifth of the entire hairline. To treat them all, you usually need 5-6 procedures, and then, after six months or a year, correction may be needed.

How to prepare for bikini hair removal

You won’t be able to remove hair forever even with the help of Elos; you need to know this before the procedure and don’t expect a miracle. Even after a course of procedures, the structure-forming cells of the follicles will be restored over time, and the hair will begin to grow back, this is a natural process. How long it will take for this to happen depends mainly on two parameters - heredity and hormones. The higher the estrogen level, the more intense the hair growth. If there are hormonal imbalances, a woman may experience hirsutism - excess hair growth, and it is especially obvious in the bikini area. If everything is normal, the results of Elos hair removal will be noticeable after 2–4 procedures; if there were malfunctions of the endocrine system, even after 6, or even 8–10 sessions, the hair will grow in the same way - thick, dark and coarse. Naturally, the patient has a misunderstanding of the situation, distrust of the salon and cosmetologist, and resentment for wasted money (the amount, by the way, is considerable - the entire course will cost 30-50 thousand rubles). Such unpleasant moments can be avoided if, before signing up for Elos hair removal, you visit a gynecologist and endocrinologist and take the tests necessary for the examination. If problems are still discovered, hair removal should be postponed.

The bikini is a hormone-dependent area; before hair removal you should visit a gynecologist and endocrinologist and check your health

Other contraindications:

• pregnancy and lactation;
• heart and vascular diseases;
• oncology;
• diabetes;
• allergy to light and current;
• chronic skin diseases;
• herpes in the hair removal area;
• phlebeurysm;
• moles, nevi, birthmarks and age spots in the epilation area;
• folliculitis.

The cosmetologist talks about the details of preparation at a preliminary consultation. As a rule, there are no special restrictions. You can't just remove hair from the roots, because Elos won't work on smooth skin. A week or two before the first procedure, the only way to remove hair should be a razor - until you have completed the entire hair removal course. For each salon visit, the hair in the bikini area should be approximately 1.5–2 mm, but not longer.

If you grow them to 4–5 mm, the rehabilitation period after each procedure will be quite unpleasant. The high temperature will melt the hairs and will prick and cling to underwear and clothes - and it will take a week for them to fall out.

On the eve of the procedure, it is useful to take a bath and steam the skin well - no peeling is necessary. You shouldn’t be afraid that it will hurt, and you shouldn’t take analgesics either. The sensations from a working device are warmth and tingling in some places.

Elos hair removal in the salon: how it goes

For sensitive skin, local anesthesia is used, usually a lidocaine cream. Be sure to apply a conductive gel - with it, the sliding of the contact nozzle will be better. When all the device settings are set, the problem area begins to be treated with short, split-second, powerful flashes. How many there will be depends on the amount of hair in the problem area.

The cost of one procedure, by the way, is also determined by the number of outbreaks, so it varies from 2000 to 7000 rubles . In terms of time, one procedure takes 20–25 minutes for a classic bikini, when hair is removed along the line of underwear, and 30–40 minutes for a deep bikini (hair is removed from the groin area and the inner thigh).

Elos hair removal is an almost painless procedure, so only patients with sensitive skin will need pain medication

What happens while the device is running:

1. Optical (light) energy heats up the cells that contain the coloring pigment melanin. The makers of Elos call them “target cells” because melanin absorbs light energy and converts it into heat.
2. When cells heat up, their conductivity increases.
3. Then current is supplied to the prepared area.
4. An electrical impulse travels along the hair shaft to the follicle and finally burns out the melanin-containing cells.

Without this structure-forming pigment, hair is not viable. Without capillaries clogged by high temperatures, the environment necessary for hair growth cannot exist.

A week after the procedure, the follicle finally atrophies, the hair falls out, and the patient can only wait for new hair (from other follicles) to grow in order to repeat the session.

What are the types

ELOS hair removal is performed with a special device designed specifically for this procedure. The difference may be in the areas affected by the master.

• Facial hair removal. The most fertile area for ELOS hair removal. Facial hair is usually thinner and lighter in color, so removing it with a laser is quite problematic. In addition, skin irritation disappears a few minutes after the procedure is completed.
• Leg hair removal. The hair on the legs is dark, but the follicles lie at a depth that the laser may not be able to reach. Therefore, a complex effect on this area can provide a guaranteed effect in fewer sessions.

  

• Bikini area. Increased sensitivity of this area or a low pain threshold may be an obstacle to this procedure, not for medical reasons, but for sensations. And even though the master first applies an anesthetic cream, the sensation is still very, very painful and unpleasant.
• Armpit area. The situation is similar with the bikini area or with hair removal in intimate places. Individual intolerance may become an obstacle to the procedure. But if ELOS hair removal does not cause you too much pain or you are ready to endure it, then you can carry out the procedure.

  

If you still can’t stand the pain, then laser hair removal is quite effective on dark hairs.

Elos hair removal reviews

• Elos hair removal

The time has long passed when the female gender paid little or no attention to unwanted hair on their bodies. Modern girls understand quite correctly that clean and smooth skin is not only beauty and attractiveness, but also a signal to those around them about cleanliness, neatness and self-care. This type of hair removal has become a breakthrough in aesthetic medicine; it is a real revolution in ideas about effective hair removal.

For this article, the most useful reviews about Elos hair removal were collected, revealing the topic as much as possible for those who have not yet used this method and are little familiar with it. Let's look at all the pros and cons of fighting hair.

Positive reviews

1. The master said that it is necessary to do several additional procedures a year to consolidate and improve the result, since sparse hairs still tend to appear. I am absolutely satisfied with the result and recommend everyone to try it, you will not be disappointed. (Marina)

2. I have already completed 5 procedures on the bikini area and the result is wonderful! After the second session, the hair almost does not grow. But keep in mind that hormonal imbalances can trigger growth again, and the optimal number of procedures would be 8 or 10. I have almost no hair left, it is growing slightly, but I plan to continue the sessions. (Evgenia)

3. I am doing this hair removal on the armpit area, 7 procedures are already behind me. The effect is visible immediately after the first visit to the salon, then within two weeks the hair falls out due to the destruction of the hair follicles. Elos hair removal is a painful procedure, but it is very effective, and therefore it is worth a little patience. To begin with, it is better to go once a month, with improvement you can already visit once every one and a half to two months. For the price, the pleasure is not cheap, but many salons offer discounts to regular customers or when visiting with a friend. This type of hair removal has its own contraindications for skin diseases of the treated area, diabetes, pregnancy, and breastfeeding. In general, there are no special prohibitions, so use it and enjoy the result. (Elvish)

4. Girls, I want to leave you my review about Elos hair removal of the upper lip, I’m sure it will be useful. The effect after the procedure is wonderful. Before the session, all the fluff must be shaved off with a machine, and only then the procedure. The outbreaks are quite painful, but can be tolerated. For the first few months, the hair grew back normally and had to be shaved weekly. Plucking is prohibited - it spoils the structure of the hair follicle. After the third session this is already something! For six months I did one session every month and then 2 control sessions after 4 months. I am very pleased with the result and would like to recommend it to others!

Negative reviews

1. There is too much advertising around this procedure for gullible people. I did a stupid thing and decided to treat everything at once, or rather my bikini, armpits and upper lip. Starting from the fourth session, my optimism decreased at a rapid rate, very expensive and ineffective. I spent a huge amount of money, but there is no joy... So, girls, think very carefully before going to the salon! (Irina)

2. I can say with complete confidence that only electrolysis will remove everything completely. I completed the full Elos course, the hair fell out on the epilated areas, began to grow more slowly, and a year later everything returned to normal, just as there had been no hair removal or salons. I really regret wasting a lot of money and time. It would be better if I did electric from the very beginning, it would have been smoother. (Anastasia)

3. After seven procedures on the armpit and bikini area, I still didn’t see much progress, just small bald spots and that’s all. As a result, after two months everything began to look the same as before the procedures. No sense! It's a waste of time and money. I hope this did not bring any unwanted consequences to my health. (Alika 238)

Neutral reviews

1. “I attended two sessions a month apart. I won’t say that the result is stunning - there is a little less hair, and there was no irritation on the skin. In principle, I like it, but you shouldn’t expect anything significant from this procedure in just a few visits” (Yulia)

2. For two years I have been using the Elos method. I think you need to really define what you want and be prepared for what will happen. Although there are a lot of advertisements, no one promises to make the transformation instantly, girls. (Victoria)

3. “I did 2 procedures, and so far I haven’t seen much results. There was a little less hair, but not that much. There were no unpleasant consequences, but also very positive ones. (Olga)

conclusions

Analyzing reviews from those who have used this technology and summing up all of the above, we can draw the following conclusions:

– services of this kind are not cheap in price, but salons use a system of discounts and provide bonuses on promotions, so there is an opportunity to save money.

– after the first visit to the salon, as well as after the second or third, a brilliant result may not come, but if you approach the procedure responsibly and with patience, visiting the salon monthly, you will be able to notice a significant improvement in your affairs.

– Elos hair removal is a rather painful procedure, but nevertheless, you can remove facial hair, in particular, do Elos hair removal of the upper lip, where the skin is very delicate and sensitive.

– This type of hair removal has certain contraindications, for example, for skin diseases, diabetes or pregnancy, as well as breastfeeding.

Reviews about ELOS hair removal

Girls and women share their experiences on how they solved the problem of removing excess hair. An experienced specialist comments on the result and provides additional advice.

Katerina, 26 years old

I work as a trainer in a large fitness center and take part in shows as a fitness model. It goes without saying that a high-end model should look perfect, so I am always and seriously concerned about hair removal. Waxing, sugaring and any methods that may leave irritation are not suitable for me. For a long time I thought that laser or photoepilation was better, until I heard that these two methods can be combined in ELOS hair removal. The first results were already in a month, and after 8 visits to the specialist, the issue of hair removal was almost completely eliminated. I visit the salon once every six months for preventive maintenance.

Expert's comment: For girls whose activities involve displaying clothes, this type of hair removal, of course, is a way out. ELOS hair removal of the deep bikini area received especially good reviews. The process, of course, is not a pleasant one, but it is much less painful and uncomfortable than waxing.

Irina, 44 years old

The problem of facial hair has bothered me since I was young. Hormone tests are always within normal limits, and my doctor advises hair removal purely for aesthetic reasons. I had a bad experience with photoepilation and got a burn; the laser doesn’t take care of my blonde hair, so based on the reviews, I was very interested in ELOS hair removal on the face, namely in the upper lip area. This really turned out to be a salvation. The operating area is small, so the cost is quite reasonable. After just 3 procedures, the hairs began to fall out rapidly and grow back less and less.

Specialist comment: Due to the large list of contraindications to the ELOS hair removal procedure, reviews from doctors, especially oncologists, about it are quite contradictory. Although oncological procedures are a contraindication to almost any hardware procedures. If you are being seen by a doctor and have no contraindications, then such a radical method, of course, was created specifically for difficult cases.

Elina, 24 years old

I work in a prestigious foreign company, where the issue of dress code and appearance is extremely important. Improving the appearance began with hair removal on the legs, arms and armpits. Reviews about ELOS hair removal and before and after photos convinced me to choose this method. The first thing I liked was that you don’t need to grow anything special, you just have to shave everything thoroughly the day before the procedure. The procedure itself took approximately 2 hours for all areas. Sensations - instant tingling and warmth in the area of ​​effect of the light flash. In the armpits and arms, the effect appeared after 3 weeks. The master said that more procedures are required on the legs - about 6.

Specialist comment: Not everyone can withstand such a lengthy procedure, especially when working with sensitive areas. But the higher the intensity the master sets on the device, the better effect you can expect later.

What is elos hair removal

Before deciding on the procedure for removing unwanted vegetation, it is worth finding out what elos hair removal is.

The term ELOS means that the method combines the effects of light and electromagnetic energy. Light affects the melanin in the hair structures, causing the hair shaft to break down as a result of uniform heating. The electric current destroys the vascular components of the hair follicle. This combination increases the effectiveness of the procedure by 30%. In this case, the follicles are completely destroyed. The likelihood of their restoration and re-growth of hair is minimized.

How safe elos hair removal is, what it is and whether the method is suitable, you can find out by studying the technique in more detail. The procedure equipment is equipped with an innovative cooling system and power regulation, depending on the thickness of the hair and the amount of pigment. This makes the hair removal process painless and safe. The method can be safely used on any part of the body, including the most sensitive ones. Hair thickness does not affect the result.

How does elos hair removal work?

Optical and radio wave energy destroy the hair follicle. This method of hair removal has a lasting effect due to the complete and irreversible destruction of the hair follicle, guaranteeing smooth skin without damage or ingrown hairs for 4 months. Light rays heat the hair follicle, and RF waves at high temperatures destroy chemical compounds in the structure of the follicle and hair shaft without damaging the epithelium.

In this way, optical and electrical energy potentiate each other, which makes it possible to reduce the power of optical radiation by 60% without loss of efficiency.

The most innovative device for elos hair removal is E-max. This system includes 5 applicators with different combinations of active factors: optical, electrical, laser and infrared radiation. The device can also cool the skin by 5°C and monitors the effectiveness and safety of the procedure. Processing occurs on a point-to-point basis. 1 cm? epithelium is processed in 1 second. The area of ​​​​simultaneous treatment depends on the applicator.

How many procedures are needed?

Elos hair removal affects hair in a state of active growth. Neither light nor electromagnetic waves affect follicles that are dormant or in the retrograde phase. Since all hair cannot be in the same phase of development at the same time, one procedure will not work.

How the method needs to be adjusted and how many procedures are needed depends on the individual characteristics of the body. For some, 4 will be enough, while others will need 7. In one manipulation, no more than 80% of hair can be removed.

The first 3 procedures are carried out once a month. After the third manipulation, all remaining follicles are synchronized in the resting stage. After 2-5 months, hair can simultaneously awaken and begin to grow. This is a good time to carry out the fourth and final procedure.

The number of manipulations depends on the location of the hair, since in different parts of the body the period of rest of the hair follicles lasts for different times. Above the upper lip, 65% of the hair can be in the active growth stage at the same time, and only 20% on the lower legs. The sleep phase on the face lasts no more than 6 weeks, and on the legs - up to 2 years. These nuances must be taken into account when prescribing repeated procedures.

Comparison of elos hair removal with other hair removal methods

Unlike the elos method, photoepilation is not able to affect hair with a small amount of pigment - light and gray. In addition, hair follicles in this case can regenerate and produce hair growth within 1.5-2 years.

Laser hair removal only affects hairs with a sufficient amount of pigments and a high contrast between hair and skin color.

Electrolysis requires high precision from a specialist. The electrode must penetrate the hair follicle, otherwise the procedure will be ineffective. In addition, it is quite painful, so only a limited area of ​​skin can be treated in one session.

Benefits of Elos hair removal

The Elos technique allows you to remove hairs of any thickness and color, including gray and vellus hair.

LPG radiation is more gentle than laser or electric current, therefore the risk of complications is lower: burns, irritation and redness of the skin, development of depigmentation and hyperpigmentation of the skin.

The procedure can be performed on dark or tanned skin, and for photo and laser hair removal, the increased content of melanin in the epidermal cells is a contraindication to the procedure.

The Elos procedure leads to irreversible destruction of the hair follicles.

A person feels minimal discomfort when performing elos hair removal, thanks to the ability to cool the skin during the session.
