Electro Optical Synergy (ELOS) uses the same principle as laser but emits broad spectrum of light (instead of only one wavelength) to reach several layers of the skin at once and attack certain colours. The most common are the brown pigments of sun-damaged skin and the redness of broken capillaries. The Emax photo-rejuvenation combines the popular Intense Pulsed Light system with Radiofrequency. This synergy of both optical and electrical energies provide a safer and more effective treatment of patients with any skin type or hair colour.

Photo-rejuvenation

During treatment the IPL and the deeper reaching radiofrequency wave, warm the dermal layer of the skin, triggering collagen and elastin formation, thus smoothing the complexion and reducing fine lines and wrinkles. Like most IPL’s, Emax has an attached integrated cooling device to ensure maximum patient comfort.

The treatment

Each Emax treatment takes approximately 30 minutes (depending on area treated) and being non-ablative, no recovery time is needed. The procedure is virtually painless, although the patient is aware of a small snapping sensation.

Gel is applied to the skin and both the patient and the operator wear special goggles. While some conditions may only require one treatment, most conditions require 5 or 6.

Acne treatment

Emax has become the new enemy of acne. It works firstly by stimulating healthy cell growth. Secondly, Emax makes the skin softer and smoother, restructures and regenerates cells, repairs and stimulates DNA and has an antiinflammatory action that is immediate. Thirdly, it has a sterilisation effect. This means that the intensity of light simply kills the bacteria. It is also recommended that the Omnilux Medical Revive light can be used in conjunction with Emax treatments. This will be discussed with you at your initial consultation.
