Treatments:
Unwanted hair, brown pigmentation, red capillaries, acne, post acne scarring... This is just a short list of problems the innovative E-Light Technology will improve.
What is E-light System?
E-light System is a unique therapeutic device revolutionizing the market in light hair removal and skin photo-rejuvenation. It is a state-of-the-art achievement in technology associating the advantages of intense pulsed light therapy (IPL) with the beneficial influence of radio frequency treatment (RF).
How does the E-light System work?
The key principle of E-light System is based on converging two independent types of energy. The pulsed light of high intensity (IPL) supported with radio frequency (RF) are simultaneously applied to the surface of the skin. The light energy, depending on appropriately chosen wavelength, is selectively absorbed by pigments in hair, blood vessels or skin. Due to the addition of radio frequency (RF), therapy also leads to controlled stimulation and regeneration of three layers of the skin including the collagen layer.
What is the difference between E-light System and traditional IPL method?
The performance of E-light System extends far beyond any other traditional method. The single dose of IPL (intense pulsed light) energy is able to penetrate through the skin to a depth of 2.5 mm, whereas IPL supported with RF (radio frequency) energy reaches down to 4.0 mm without being absorbed by pigments in darker skin, as is the case of IPL itself. The highest safety measures of the system provide better efficiency and minimize any health related risks. Using a traditional IPL method, a tissue can hardly absorb 30%-40% of energy while the rest is being reflected and dispersed or refracted. E-light System ( IPL+RF) significantly minimizes both aspects of reflection and refraction. The penetration of a tissue is much more effective, therefore smaller amounts of energy can be used, not only reducing risk of burns to the skin, but also improving comfort of the treatment. IPL alone is inferior to E-light systems inasmuch as IPL does not affect hair that is poor in melanin (blond or gray), and, traditional IPL alone has unsatisfactory results in patients with dark complexion or tanned skin.
What are the advantages of hair removal with the use of E-light System?
Hair removal therapy with the use of intense pulsed light (IPL) supported with radio frequency (RF) is the most advanced, efficient and the least painful of all modern types of treatments that are used nowadays in esthetics. Its effectiveness is grounded on the ability to cope with fair hair or patients with darker skin types and tanned skin, which provides a substantial advantage over a traditional IPL method. The beneficial activity of radio frequency enhances and complements the influence of pulsed light, which gives better therapeutic results at a much lower level of energy emitted to the skin. That translates into a smaller number of treatments, a wider range of possible applications and hence, greater customer satisfaction.
What determines the number of E-light System hair removal treatments?
The number of treatments depends on the skin prototype, type of hair, gender and age of a patient, hormonal balance and also genetic predispositions, though a basic principle is quite obvious: the darker and thicker the hair, the easier to get rid of and the shorter a therapy.
Does the skin need to be shaven prior to the treatment ?
In order for E-light System treatment to be effective, hair length should be 1 to 3 mm. At least one month prior to a therapy patient must not remove hair by using methods that including waxing or using tweezers.
Will my hair fall out right after the treatment ?
The average time for a hair to fall out of the damaged hair bulb is 2 up to 3 weeks; however, during that time the hair growth is much slower due to the fact that hair follicles are severely weakened.
Is it acceptable to remove hair between subsequent treatments ?
During the time between subsequent treatments it is recommended to use only soft methods such as depilatory creams or razors. Patient must not remove hair by using wax or tweezers.
Are all parts of the body suitable for hair removal treatment?
All parts of the body are suitable for treatment except for the eye and eyebrow area.
What is the average time of a single treatment?
The standard time depends on an area of E-light System treatment (removing hair from both legs takes up to 1.0 hour, from the armpits about 10 minutes, removing mustache lasts less than 3 minutes).
Are there any contraindications?
Prior to the first treatment some initial skin tests are performed, moreover, a patient is asked to fill in a questionnaire so as to screen patients that can not use the E-light System method. Clients who are not candidates for treatment those with: Systemic Lupus, Diabetes, Epilepsy, medication with photosensitive agents or consumption of such products, pregnancy and breast-feeding, Albinism, Psoriasis (within the area of treatment), tattoos and freshly tanned skin.
How are the damaged blood vessels are treated with E-light System?
E-light System emits the light energy, which is absorbed by a pigment in red blood cells called hemoglobin so that the blood coagulates and gradually dissolves a blood vessel. In order to eliminate all telangiectasias a patient is asked to repeat the treatment 2 to 5 times over a period of several months. It depends on the quantity, diameter, color and depth so-called spider veins.
Can Photorejuvenation and Pigmentation removal be performed by E-light System?
Photorejuvenation with E-light System method substantially reduces any indications of skin aging process and other visible symptoms such as vascular changes, erythema (redness of the skin), acne, rosacea, sun damage, hyper pigmentation due to hormonal changes etc. The best results in the therapy are obtained after a series of 2 up to 5 visits at 3 to 6 weeks intervals.
Can the treatment be performed at any time of year?
E-light System treatment can be performed at any time of year. After the therapy a patient can return to normal activity at once, however, one must remember to apply appropriate sunscreen and not to be overexposed to a sunlight.
