We’re not just splitting hairs
Results using conventional optical only systems are limited because they operate indirectly by superheating the melanin in the hair shaft and hoping for enough collateral thermal damage. Syneron Systems don’t waste time splitting hairs, they achieve superior results because they precisely target and destroy the hair follicle through a process known as Vortex heating.

FAQ:

How does Hair Removal with elos™ DSL Applicator work?
The DSL uses laser and bi-polar radio frequency energies to damage the hair follicle. This disables the follicle from growing hair, which means that gradually over several treatments, there is a permanent reduction in the amount of hair in that area.

What is the advantage of DSL Applicator over other laser hair removal systems?
The DSL can treat large zones very fast, and there is no exclusionary criteria based on skin type or hair color (the treatment approach for apigmented hairs is different than treating dark hair and the response rate may be less predictable).

How efficacious is the treatment with DSL Applicator?
In a study which included skin types II-V showed 35-42% clearance 3 months after a single treatment. Post treatment hair extrusion occurs around 2-3 weeks. Some hair shafts can be pulled out of the follicle immediately post-treatment without resistance, indicating disengagement from the follicle while the hair shaft is still intact (i.e. has not been singed by the laser heat)- the bi-polar RF energy effect is clearly evident.

Is treatment with the DSL Applicator safe?
Treatment is very safe for the skin. There are many advances in the DSL technology that make it one of the safest hair removal systems available for all skin colors. There are no long term health hazards from laser or electric energies used in the DSL. Both have been used for decades in medicine, surgery, and aesthetics without adversity.

How is DSL Applicator treatment tolerated by the patient?
Everyone has different pain tolerances but most patients are treated without topical anesthetic creams. The chilled air device, SynerCool™ is very helpful for discomfort during treatment and especially when fast, auto-repeat firing is used for large treatment zones.

What results can one expect from the DSL Applicator treatment?
Each DSL treatment will result in less hair coming back, as well as hair growing progressively lighter in color, finer, and slower-growing with each treatment. It takes more than 1 treatment to affect all the follicles growing in an area. Most people achieve satisfactory clearance after 6-8 treatments, but individual results vary depending on medical and genetic factors. Lighter colored hair may require more treatments than darker colored hair.

How frequently does one need DSL Applicator treatments?
The treatments are usually performed every 2-3 months, but this depends on individual factors.

What happens after each DSL Applicator treatment?
Temporary pinkness in the skin lasts a very short time, and most people return to work or normal activities immediately after treatment. The treated area will “shed” some hairs over the next 2-4 weeks, and patients may experience a period of hairlessness in the area while you wait for your next treatment.

Who should get DSL treatment for Hair Removal?
Anyone who wants a permanent solution to shaving, waxing, plucking, or electrolysis. There are few medical conditions that contraindicate people from treatment.
