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.

Technology Evolution: From Lasers to elōs

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 elōs 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.

The elōs advantages in safety and efficacy are documented in over 40 Clinical Papers and realized in medical aesthetic practices around the globe.
