What is Electro-Optical Synergy (elōs)?
Electro-optical Synergy (elōs) is the unique and patented technology that drives the
mē's ability to remove unwanted hair. It combines two types of energy- Intense Pulsed
Light (IPL) and Radio Frequency (RF) to remove hair through selectively targeting the
hair follicle in a safe yet effective manner .
Invented by Dr. Shimon Eckhouse, elōs technology was exclusively available to doctors
through professional hair removal devices, however, it is now available to consumers
directly through the mē device.
How does Electro-Optical Synergy (elōs) Work?
elōs technology selectively delivers heat from IPL and RF energy to the hair follicle
affecting the source of where your hair grows . The hair follicle is destroyed, thereby
removing and reducing the amount of hair you're left with in the treated area. elōs
technology can even be used safely and effectively on all skin tones including naturally
dark skin .
Hair Growth Cycle
Every hair in our body goes through a complete growth cycle, from an active to resting
phase . Light-based treatments work best on hairs in their active phase .
How long each cycle lasts varies from person to person and between the different
parts of the body. Other factors such as genetics, metabolism and age also influence
the duration of each growth stage .
What to expect from your treatment
You will need to treat the areas of unwanted hair multiple times in order to target hair in
the active cycle .
After a hair follicle is treated, it can take one to two weeks for the hair to fall out .
During this time, it may look like hair is still growing, but really the hair is being "pushed
out ."
You may or may not see these hair stubs pushed out from the skin .
