E-light with IPL

What is E-light System?

E-light System is a unique therapeutic device revolutionizing the market in lighter 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 non-ablative 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 in as much as IPL does not affect hair that is poor in melanin (blond or gray, lighter hair), and, traditional IPL alone has unsatisfactory results in patients with dark complexion or tanned skin.

How are the damaged blood vessels 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 of the so-called spider veins.

Can Photofacial (Photorejuvenation) and Pigmentation removal be performed by E-light System?

Photofacials performed by E-light provides instant glow and a healthy tone to the skin. Photorejuvenation with E-light System substantially reduces signs of aging 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 sunlight.
