| elōs™ stands for Electro-Optical Synergy. It is the cornerstone of Renew Aesthetics' system for hair removal (laser) and for treatment of pigmented and vascular lesions, wrinkles , and overall skin rejuvenation (Intense Pulse Light). Electro represents the bipolar radio frequency current (RF), while Optical represents the laser or pulsed light energy. Both the RF and the optical energies are emitted to the skin from a chilled applicator tip. The synergy that occurs between the impacts of the RF and optical energy offers a remarkable new way for treatment of cutaneous skin indications. Traditional laser or light sources have long been used for photothermolysis of targets in the skin such as unwanted hair, pigmented lesion removal, and non-ablative skin rejuvenation. A common issue in treatments performed by traditional laser or pulsed light source is two-fold: 1. Not enough optical energy absorbed by the target means less efficacy. 2. Too much optical energy absorbed by surrounding tissue means collateral damage or unwanted side effects, usually to the epidermis or dermis. elōs presents a solution for these problems; since the optical energy and the RF play equal but different roles in the formula, by reducing one and increasing the other, efficacy will not be compromised for safety, and safety will not be compromised for efficacy. |

| Discover the Magic of elōs Superior Safety and Efficacy. |
|
| To appreciate the superior safety and efficacy of elōs, it helps to understand the timeline in which the use of laser/optical energy has been implemented in the field of cosmetic/aesthetic medicine. Although lasers were invented in the mid 60s, it wasn’t until the mid 1980s that the technology had evolved enough to be used safely for dermatological applications. In 1991, physicist Dr. Shimon Eckhouse invented and patented intense pulsed light (IPL), a significant advancement over conventional lasers, and for nearly a decade, IPL remained the industry standard for many non-invasive aesthetic procedures. However, limitations on the technology remained, including limited penetration, poor targeting, and risk of epidermal pigmentation changes and scarring. A quantum leap occurred in the year 2000, when master physicist, Dr. Michael Kreindel, combined IPL technology with bipolar radio frequency (RF) to create electro-optical synergy or el?s as it is now known. This revolutionary technology platform soon set new standards in safety and efficacy for a wide range of medical aesthetic procedures. |

| elōs is the first and only technology that simultaneously harnesses the power of bi-polar radio frequency (RF) and optical energy (either laser or light). Developed by IPL inventor/patent-holder Dr. Shimon Eckhouse and master physicist, Dr. Michael Kreindel, this revolutionary technology platform effectively overcomes the safety and procedural limitations of intense pulse light (IPL) and conventional lasers. | |
| The elōs Difference | |
| • | RF, a highly controllable energy heat source, works synergistically with optical energy |
| • | Enables use of light energy at a level that is safe for all skin types (less optical energy compared to conventional lasers and IPLs) |
| • | Poses no additional risk to the epidermis |
| • | Precisely targets areas “preheated” by optical energy and avoids cool areas |
| • | Provides enhanced penetration for improved treatment results |
| State-of-Art Safety Features | |
| • | Chilled contact cooling of the sapphire treatment tip helps direct RF energy deeper into the dermis (maximizes efficacy) and away from the epidermis (maximizes safety) |
| • | Active Dermal Monitoring™ provides “real time” temperature feedback with each pulse |
| • | Contact check prevents energy pulse if RF electrodes are not coupled properly to the skin surface |
| • | Numeric impedance measurement communicates the changes in temperature produced by each pulse, guiding practitioner to treatment zone (10-20%) for safe and efficacious treatments |
