how it works?
The elos Plus works by combining optical energy (laser or intense pulsed light) with bipolar radiofrequency (RF) to target specific cells or structures in the skin. For instance, in hair removal, the optical energy first targets the melanin in the hair follicle, while the simultaneously delivered RF energy is conducted directly into the follicle destroying it more effectively and at lower energy levels than optical energy alone, all without damaging the surrounding tissue.
Safety measures
All elos Plus procedures are conducted by certified professionals trained specifically in elos™ technology. We adhere to stringent safety protocols, including the use of protective eyewear, pre-treatment skin assessments, and Fitzpatrick skin type evaluations, to ensure the appropriate energy settings are selected for each individual client. The elos Plus's built-in safety features — including real-time skin contact sensors and adjustable RF and optical energy parameters further ensure a secure and effective treatment experience for all skin types.

Visible Results You Will Love
Many patients notice improvements after just one IPL treatment session with the Elos Plus system. However, multiple treatments are often needed for optimal, long-lasting results typically 3 to 6 sessions spaced four weeks apart. With each session, you’ll see a progressive improvement in skin tone, texture, and the reduction of skin imperfections such as pigmented lesions and vascular lesions. For Diode hair removal, multiple treatments ensure the best outcome by targeting hair follicles in different growth stages, leading to a significant reduction in unwanted hair and smoother skin.
What Makes elōs Technology Better Than Traditional IPL?
When it comes to skin treatments, you’ve probably heard about IPL (Intense Pulsed Light), a popular method for addressing a range of skin concerns. But there’s something that takes skin care technology to the next level: elōs Technology. So, what sets it apart from traditional IPL?
elōs (short for Electro-Optical Synergy) combines the power of radiofrequency (RF) energy with the light energy of IPL. This combination allows for deeper, more precise targeting of the skin without increasing the risk of damaging the surrounding tissue. In simpler terms, it’s a more effective and safer way to treat skin issues.
While traditional IPL relies solely on light energy, which can sometimes miss the deeper layers or cause discomfort on sensitive skin, elōs adds radiofrequency into the mix. This means that treatments can be performed on a wider variety of skin tones and types with better results and less discomfort. Whether it’s removing unwanted hair, treating pigmentation, or tightening the skin, elōs delivers results that traditional IPL struggles to match.
In short, elōs technology is not just a step up it’s a smarter, more versatile approach to skincare, giving you better results with fewer risks.

Who Should Not Get elos Plus IPL Treatment
You may not be a good candidate for IPL (or may need physician approval first) if you have any of the following:
Recent sun exposure or tanning bed use: You must stay out of direct sun for at least two weeks before treatment. Sun-damaged or tanned skin is highly sensitive and drastically increases the risk of burns or complications during IPL therapy.
Use of photosensitizing medications: Certain anti-inflammatory drugs, antibiotics, or herbal supplements can make your skin overly sensitive to light energy.
Recent use of active skincare: Retinoids, harsh exfoliants, and chemical peels must be discontinued for at least one week prior to treatment to prevent severe skin irritation.
Active infections or open wounds in the treatment area (including cold sore breakouts).
Pregnant or breastfeeding (light and radiofrequency treatments are typically deferred out of caution).
A consultation at Reimagine Clinic is the best way to confirm suitability based on your medical history, skin type, and specific aesthetic goals.
What is the Aftercare for IPL Treatments?
To ensure optimal healing, protect your skin barrier, and secure the best possible results, please follow these post-treatment guidelines:
Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+): Sun protection is absolutely crucial after IPL to prevent new sun damage and avoid rebound pigmentation issues. Apply it daily and reapply frequently if outdoors.
Avoid excessive heat: Refrain from hot showers, saunas, and strenuous physical activities for at least 48 hours post-treatment to reduce the risk of prolonged irritation and allow the skin to heal.
Use gentle skincare: Your skin will be more sensitive than usual. Stick to mild, fragrance-free cleansers and soothing moisturizers to protect your skin barrier.
Monitor your skin: If you were treated for pigmentation, spots may temporarily darken before flaking off. Do not pick or scrub them.
Pause exfoliants and retinoids: Wait until your skin is fully healed (typically 5-7 days) before reintroducing any active anti-aging or acne products.
Our team at Reimagine Clinic will provide you with a detailed, personalized aftercare plan to ensure a smooth recovery and a beautiful, radiant outcome.
Safety and Side Effects
By utilizing advanced elōs Technology (which combines IPL with bipolar radiofrequency), our Candela Syneron Elos Plus system is exceptionally safe and versatile. However, you can expect the following normal, temporary responses:
Mild sunburn-like sensation: This feeling is completely normal immediately following the procedure and typically subsides within a few hours to a few days.
Temporary redness and swelling: You may experience mild inflammation, particularly around treated hair follicles, vascular lesions, or pigmented spots.
Temporary darkening of spots: Freckles and sunspots will often look darker like “coffee grounds” for a few days before naturally shedding off the skin.
Built-in comfort: The Elos Plus features a chilled applicator tip that actively cools the epidermis during treatment, significantly minimizing discomfort compared to traditional IPL systems.
Safer for more skin types: Because radiofrequency targets tissue impedance rather than just pigment, this technology allows us to safely and effectively treat a wider variety of skin tones (including light brown and darker skin) with fewer risks to surrounding tissue.
Choosing certified, extensively trained professionals at Reimagine Clinic ensures that your settings are perfectly tailored to your skin, providing maximum results with minimal side effects.
Enhancing and Maintaining Your Results
Whether you are targeting hair removal, vascular lesions, or overall skin rejuvenation, we recommend the following to achieve and maintain your ideal results:
Complete a full treatment series: While many patients notice improvements after just one session, optimal, long-lasting results typically require 3 to 6 sessions spaced four weeks apart.
Stick to your schedule: For Diode hair removal, attending your appointments at the exact recommended intervals is critical to successfully target hair follicles in their active growth stages.
Commit to daily sun protection: Because UV rays constantly trigger new pigmentation and break down collagen, daily SPF is the most important habit to protect your investment long-term.
Support collagen production: Use high-quality, medical-grade skincare (like Vitamin C and Peptides) at home to support the skin tightening and cell regeneration stimulated by the radiofrequency energy.
Schedule maintenance sessions: Once your initial series is complete, booking occasional touch-up sessions will help maintain your flawless skin texture, even tone, and youthful firmness year after year.
Your specialist at Reimagine Clinic is dedicated to helping you create an individualized treatment and home-care plan tailored to keep your skin looking flawlessly rejuvenated.
Benefits of intense pulse light
How can IPL treatments help you?
Skin Rejuvenation and Improved Skin Texture
IPL treatments stimulate collagen production in the skin, which helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles. By promoting the regeneration of healthy skin cells, IPL improves overall skin texture and tone. This results in a more youthful and radiant complexion, making your skin look refreshed and rejuvenated.
Effective Treatment of Pigmentation and Vascular Lesions
IPL effectively targets pigmented lesions like sunspots, age spots, and freckles, as well as vascular lesions such as broken capillaries and rosacea. The broad-spectrum light energy is absorbed by the melanin in pigment cells and the hemoglobin in blood vessels, breaking them down without harming surrounding tissue. This leads to a clearer, more even skin tone and reduces redness, giving you a more uniform complexion.
Reduction of Unwanted Hair Growth
Diode can be used for hair removal by targeting hair follicles with intense pulses of light energy. The melanin in the hair absorbs this light, which heats and destroys the follicle to inhibit future hair growth. This non-invasive method effectively reduces unwanted hair on various parts of the body, providing long-lasting results and smoother skin without the need for constant shaving or waxing.
Broad spectrum of light
Unlike single-wavelength lasers, the elos Plus IPL system emits broad-spectrum light across multiple wavelengths simultaneously. Since different skin concerns pigmented lesions, vascular lesions, and unwanted hair each respond to different wavelengths, this allows us to address multiple issues in a single treatment session. Combined with bipolar RF energy, the broad-spectrum light becomes even more precise, delivering targeted results at the right depth with minimal impact on surrounding skin.
