Skin Renewal and Hair Removal
 

 

Finally, there is a better way to  achieve a smoother, more youthful appearance.

Aurora advances aesthetic technology far beyond laser and light-based systems by utilizing the synergy of electrical (RF) and optical (light) energies and controlled external cooling. The combination of energies offers a complete solution to the challenges of skin renewal and hair removal, enabling safe, effective treatment of patients with any skin type or hair color. One compact, easily portable system provides a comprehensive solution for treatment of a full array of vascular lesions (such as facial telangiectasias and rosacea) and superficial pigmented lesions (age spots, solar lentigo, etc.) and for hair removal from any part of the face or body. Easy setting of correct parameters ensures optimal results with maximum patient comfort and minimum side effects.

Offering fast area coverage, Aurora enables an area of 2cm2 to be treated in 1 second. Even large areas of skin with dense hair growth or a large number of lesions can be effectively treated in a single session.

 


 


Safe, Comfortable and Effective
Aurora is a safe, comfortable way to remove unwanted hair and unattractive lesions and brown spots form your face and body.  Utilizing proven technology that combines light, electrical energy, and cooling, Aurora precisely targets hair roots, blood vessels or pigmented lesions, gently and quickly removing the unwanted hair or spots without damaging surrounding tissue or skin.  Regardless of your skin type or hair color, you can achieve the long-lasting results you truly want: smoother, clearer skin.  Costs range from $1,500 to $3,500 depending upon the extent of treatment.

ELOS Solid Science Means Solid Results

Recent advances in aesthetic treatment have focused on invasive techniques (such as sclerotherapy, sclerosurgery and collagen injection) or on the non-invasive application of heat to various parts of the hair, follicle, skin and blood vessels. In such systems, either laser or light is used to create the heat. Now, Syneron has taken aesthetic science a major step forward with its unique ELOS™ (Electro-Optical Synergy) technology. ELOS maximizes the synergy of conducted RF energy and optical energy, providing a new approach that is exceptionally safe and effective.

Q.  How frequently do I need treatments?

A.  Treatments are repeated every month for a total of 3-5 treatments.
 

  


 

Q.  Does the treatment hurt?

A.  The sensation is often described as ?hot pinch?, or ?snapping? feeling. The sensation only lasts for fraction of a second, and you may feel warmth or a tingling sensation for a short time afterward. Most people tolerate treatment without topical anaesthetic, but individuals who are more sensitive may prefer to have the skin numbed before treatment.
 

 


 

Q.  What happens after each treatment?

A.  Temporary pinkness in the skin lasts a very short time, and most people return to work or normal activities immediately after treatment. The improvement in pigmented and vascular irregularities can often be appreciated by the time you return for your next treatment a month later.

A.  Anyone who wants to improve the signs of sun damage and aging in the skin, such as pigmented and vascular irregularities, uneven or rough skin texture. Skin rejuvenation can be done on face, neck, chest, hands, arms. Discuss your candidacy for this treatment with your Aurora clinician.

 



 

Aurora Hair Removal  
 

 

Q.  How does the Aurora get rid of my hair?

A.  The Aurora uses gentle light and electric 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.
 

 


 

Q.  Is treatment with the Aurora safe?

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

 


 

Q.  What kind of results can I expect from Aurora treatment?

A.  Each Aurora 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 4-8 treatments, but individual results vary depending on medical and genetic factors. Lighter colored hair may require more treatments than darker colored hair.
 

 


 

Q.  How frequently do I need treatments?

A.  The treatments are usually performed every 2-3 months, but this depends on individual factors that your Aurora clinician will discuss with you during consultation.
 

  


 

Q.  Does the treatment hurt?

A.  The sensation is often described as ?hot pinch?, or ?snapping? feeling. The sensation only lasts for fraction of a second, and you may feel warmth or a tingling sensation for a short time afterward. Most people tolerate treatment without any topical anaesthetic cream, which may be used to numb the skin from feeling sensation for very sensitive individuals.
 

 


 

Q.  What happens after each treatment?

A.  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 3-4 weeks, and you may experience a period of hairlessness in the area while you wait for your next treatment.
