Acne is a blocking and
subsequent infection of the skin's pores
or follicles. It is estimated that 75%
of all teenagers and young adults suffer
from acne. Although not as common, acne
can also affect people in their 30s and
40s.
FotoFacial™
procedures with elos technology
are extremely effective in the treatment
of acne. The combined energies of elos™
— natural photodynamic therapy (blue
spectrum) and infrared with RF —
enables highly selective targeting of
the sebaceous glands and acne bacteria,
Infrared and RF energies reduce sebaceous
gland activity while blue light destroys
acne. With elos, the surrounding skin
is left free from potentially harmful
side effects. Using gentle pulses of two
targeted energies means better results
with lower overall energy output —
assuring the highest level of safety and
comfort. Other systems using only one
energy source can’t compare.
elos safety:
elos requires lower
overall energy levels for superior results
and maximum safety. Most people experience
no side effects at all, though a few exhibit
some short-term local reddening of the
surrounding skin. Treatments require no
patient downtime.
What elos feels
like:
Treatment with elos produces a slight
tingling feeling, and on the most sensitive
areas of the skin, patients may only feel
a quick, light pinch. Side effects are
very rare, and elos technology assures
a higher comfort level than any laser
technology available.
FotoFacial™
procedures with elos technology
is a no-downtime procedure:
elos procedures require no sedation. The
average procedure taks less than 30 minutes
to perform. Immediately following your
procedure, you can return to work or you
daily schedule with no problem.
Patient comfort
is important to us at JVAI. To
further assure your comfort during FotoFacial
procedures, we:
- Apply a topical anesthetic
(numbing cream) 30 minutes prior to
the procedure and
- Use SynerCool™
during the procedure. Cold air skin
cooling at -32°C significantly improves
patient comfort and reduces redness
during aesthetic skin procedures.
