6.Hair Removal (non IPL)



Ablative laser (Sublative). This is a wounding laser that removes the thin outer layer of skin (epidermis) and heats the underlying skin (dermis), which stimulates the growth of new collagen fibers. As the epidermis heals and regrows, the treated area appears smoother and tighter.


Nonablative laser (Sublime). This is a non-wounding laser that stimulates collagen growth, which over time helps improve skin tone and texture. . Nonablative laser resurfacing is less invasive and requires less recovery time than does ablative laser resurfacing. But it's less effective.


Endovenous laser ablation (LVA). This type of laser therapy works by sending strong bursts of light and radio frequency into the vein that make the vein slowly fade and disappear. No incisions or needles are used.


Pigmented Lesions and Rosacea (SRA Plus). The laser produces a wavelength of high energy light, which is then converted into heat energy. This can target the specific area of pigmentation because the laser is absorbed only by cells containing an excessive concentration of pigmentation. This causes efficient destruction while leaving the surrounding tissue undamaged.


Acne (AC). Th AC applicator applicator uses a broad spectrum of light and radio-frequency energies to target the sebaceous unit in the skin. The short wavelengths in the blue light spectrum target the P.Acnes bacteria in the tubes of the sebaceous glands.


Diode Laser (Motif). Our laser is not IPL (Intense Pulse Light) which is actually not laser it is just a light. The elōs Plus® use diode laser and radio frequency (RF) combined to achieve the best possible results with Sapphire contact cooling for patient comfort. Can be used on all type of skins and works on lighter color hairs as well.



Syneron elōs Plus



The elōs Plus® is a revolutionary step forward for aesthetic medicine. It combines optical (laser or pulsed light) and radio frequency (RF) energies to deliver comfortable treatments.

The elōs Plus device is the only system to provide unique, three-layered skin protection.

> RF reduces optical energy requirements to moderate skin heating and allow a deeper penetration of heat.

> Active Dermal Monitoring (ADM) immediately signals skin impedance changes

> Sapphire contact cooling improves patient comfort



Key Benefits of elōs Plus

> Efficient thermal profiles can be achieved with lower optical energy.

> RF enables deep thermal penetration into the tissue.

> Treat targets with lower optical absorption, light hair and collagen.



1.Ablative Resurfacing



Sublative RF is designed for wrinkle treatment and use indermatological procedures requiring ablation and resurfacing of the skin. Shortly after the treatment there is moderate skin erythema and edema of the treated zone. The erythema and edema usually subside within 12-24 hours.

It is also used to reduce moderate to severe acne scars for all skin types.

The Sublative™ RF applicator is designed to deliver radiofrequency energy to the skin in a fractional manner, via an array of multi-electrode pins.

The array delivers bipolar RF energy to the skin. Microscopic zones of epidermis and dermis are thermally ablated in a grid over the skin surface, where non-ablated zones serve as a reservoir of cells that promote rapid healing.



2. Non Ablative Treatment



The Sublime applicator uses a combination of an infrared light source and bi-polar radio frequency to bulk heat the dermis and affect dermal collagen in order to treat wrinkles. The simultaneous combination of infrared and bi-polar radiofrequency provides deep thermal heating, up to 3 mm in depth.



3.Laser Vein Treatment



LVA applicator is intended for treatment of vascular lesions. Combines diode laser energy and bi-polar radiofrequency energy. The optical energy is selectively absorbed by hemoglobin in blood vessels and causes it to heat up. RF current further elevates the temperature of the target structures to a level required for clearance.

In addition, RF current has higher affinity to blood than to the surrounding tissue because of the relatively high conductivity of blood, due to the high concentration of electrolytes. RF energy is marginally absorbed by melanin and is thus independent of skin color with no epidermal barrier to absorption as occurs with optical energy.

Since the epidermis is constantly cooled it is protected from collateral damage. Combined energy of RF and laser creates greater heating of blood vessels with minimal risk of side effects to surrounding tissues As a result, the blood and the vessel wall coagulate and the blood vessel shrinks.



4.Pigmented Lesions



The SRA Plus is intended for the treatment of superficial benign pigmented and vascular lesions, (such as telangiectasia, rosacea, poikiloderma and angioma), thus leading to improved skin appearance.

The SRA Plus applicator is recommended for the treatment of lesions that are more resistant and difficult to treat, such as light color pigmented lesions and fine caliber telangiectasia.

The procedure provides a complete area treatment for body areas such as the face, neck, chest, hands and arms. It can be also be employed on sporadic lesions anywhere on the body.

SRA utilizes the elōstechnology which combines pulsed light optical energy in the visible and the near infrared range, and radio-frequency (RF) energy. Both optical and RF components are delivered to the skin as a combined pulse resulting in an efficient and safe treatment.



5.ACNE treatments



Acne is a disruption in the skin caused by different factors, including bacteria, hormones and genetics. The pilosebaceous unit is comprised of the hair-growing follicle and the sebaceous gland which releases sebum to the skin surface through the pore. There is a normal population of bacteria called Propionibacterium Acnes in the skin, but when pores become clogged the build-up of sebum and the enhanced cornification cause blackhead or whitehead comedones to form within the pores.

The anaerobic conditions in the comedones stimulate the proliferation of P.Acnes which in turn induces inflammation. White blood cells infiltrate the area and ensuing inflammation can lead to acneiform lesions called papules, nodules or cysts.

The goals of treatment for active eruptive acne are: to reduce the bacteria count of the acne-causing P.Acnes and to control the activity of the sebaceous glands to reduce excess sebum production.

The clinical improvements in the appearance of acne are evidenced by reducing the size of individual acne lesions, reducing the frequency of acne eruptions, and promoting faster healing times. Preventing future blockages or clogging of pores can be facilitated through a variety of topical therapies including micro-dermabrasion, light chemical peels, and an acne skin care regimen. The AC applicator applicator uses a broadspectrum of light and radio-frequency energies to target the sebaceous unit in the skin. The short wavelengths in the blue light spectrum target the P.Acnes bacteria in the tubes of the sebaceous glands.

The photodynamic reaction between the blue light and the photoporphyrins, which are an integral part of the bacterial membrane(light- sensitive molecules), results in oxidation and free radical damage to the bacterial cell membrane.

P.Acnes are destroyed in this free radical environment, reducing bacterial count and stopping the inflammatory process within the sebaceous gland.

The red and infra-red portions of the optical spectrum, as well as the radio-frequency energy, have a thermal drying effect deeper in the sebaceous glands to produce and secrete less sebum. The addition of radio-frequency in the AC application also offers the unique advantage of improving the texture of acneiform skin (which is often left blotchy and rough after acne eruptions).

​The AC procedure is a low risk treatment with no down-time, which can offer gradual and safe improvements for patients with active papular-papulopustular acne.



6.Hair Removal



Long-term hair removal has to affect hair in the active cycle of its growth, namely in Anagen. All long-term epilating methods target hair at this stage and since the growth cycle differs between body areas, each body area requires re-treatment at different time intervals to achieve maximum results.

The normal hair cycle is comprised of three stages: active growth - Anagen, transition - Catagen and resting - Telogen. Hair follicles go through these cycles in a non-synchronized manner.

It is important that patients understand the hair growth cycle in order to have realistic expectations. ​
