The dual treatment of acne vulgaris using two kinds of ELOS^TM(electro optical synergy) system: A simultaneous split‐face trial

Abstract

The combination of Aurora AC and Matrix IR was superior in reducing the acne lesion count, and in extending the length of the remission period.

Combination Treatment Using Bipolar Radiofrequency-Based Intense Pulsed Light, Infrared Light and Diode Laser Enhanced Clinical Effectiveness and Histological Dermal Remodeling in Asian Photoaged Skin

“…Now, the ELOS system is a well-accepted treatment concept in clinical dermatology. [10][11][12][13][14][15]17,19,20 The premise of the combination of RF and optical energy is that RF energy can penetrate the skin and heat deeper tissue, resulting in neocollagen formation, and that the additional optical energy will synergize this effect by targeting specific chromophores. Unlike optical energy, RF energy produces heat by generating an ion current rather than by absorbing photons.…”

“…[11][12][13][14] Interest in using RF energy to enhance deep tissue tightening and thus improve skin laxity, has increased, because RF energy has been shown to tighten tissues, producing a noticeable skin lifting effect. [10][11][12][13][14][15] A combination of optical and RF energy has been shown to be effective in skin tightening, leading to the use of various combinations in clinical settings. [11][12][13][14] A combination of optical and bipolar RF energy may have the following advantages.…”

[11][12][13][14] A combination of optical and bipolar RF energy may have the following advantages. [11][12][13][14] First, optimal settings of optical and bipolar RF parameters may have a synergistic effect.…”

“…[11][12][13][14] A combination of optical and bipolar RF energy may have the following advantages. [11][12][13][14] First, optimal settings of optical and bipolar RF parameters may have a synergistic effect. Second, use of the combination may permit employment of lower levels of either energy type, potentially reducing the risks of side effects associated with optical or RF treatment alone.…”

“…This may promote quicker healing and minimize complications. [11][12][13] Through our combination therapy, we could deliver separate treatments with different applicators for the main target, leading to greater improvement with a shorter treatment time. The SRA Applicator focuses on improving superficial pigments, texture, and fine lines; the ReFirme ST focuses on improving skin laxity of the mid to lower face; and the Matrix IR focuses on improving deep wrinkles in periorbital areas.…”
