elōs® is a multi-application treatment approved by the FDA. It’s a combination of laser or pulsed light and radio frequency energy.
This article will give you a rundown of what elōs® is and what it’s used for.
elōs® can treat a variety of skin conditions. The treatment can address sunspots, age spots, acne scars, freckles, rosacea, vascular lesions, hyperpigmentation, and loose skin.
How does elōs® technology work?
The elōs® system combines laser or pulsed light with radiofrequency (RF) energy to address a range of skin issues.
The combination of light and RF allows the elōs® system to deliver energy in a controlled way, penetrating the skin with greater precision than traditional lasers or intense pulsed light (IPL) systems.
Because it’s FDA-cleared to treat sunspots, age spots, acne scars, freckles, rosacea, vascular lesions, hyperpigmentation, and even skin laxity, elōs® is considered a versatile option for improving your skin’s appearance.
What kinds of treatments use elōs®?
The elōs® technology can be used in a variety of cosmetic procedures.
elōs® Plus Fotofacial
The elōs® Plus Fotofacial is designed to target specific skin issues and rejuvenate your skin.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is elos in medical terms?
In medical aesthetics, elos (Electro-Optical Synergy) is a technology that combines radiofrequency (RF) and intense pulsed light (IPL) or laser energies. This synergy allows for targeted treatment of various skin conditions, such as hair removal, skin rejuvenation, and vascular lesions, with potentially enhanced efficacy and reduced side effects compared to using either energy source alone.
Is elos hair removal permanent?
Elos hair removal can achieve long-term hair reduction, but it’s not always considered 100% permanent. The technology can significantly reduce hair growth, and any regrowth is often finer and lighter. Maintenance treatments may be necessary to manage any remaining hair over time.
What is the meaning of elos?
Elos stands for Electro-Optical Synergy. This describes the core principle of the technology, which is the combined use of electrical (radiofrequency) and optical (light) energies to achieve a synergistic effect in treating skin conditions.
Is Elos laser or IPL?
Elos technology isn’t strictly laser or IPL; it’s a combination of technologies. Elos devices can utilize either IPL or laser energy in conjunction with radiofrequency. The specific type of light energy used depends on the intended treatment and the specific elos device being used.
Key Takeaways
The elōs® technology offers a gentler and often safer way to get the results you want compared to traditional laser treatments. Because it’s so customizable, you can work with your provider to develop a treatment plan tailored to your skin.
