AURORA/ELOS

Getting rid of unwanted hair by razors, waxing or electrolysis can be a nightmare. On top of that, our highly competitive society places a premium on a youthful look. Now, hair removal and skin rejuvenation treatments with the AURORA™/ELOS™ system are performed by our doctor for patients in our region to effectively remove unwanted hair and/or rejuvenate their skin. <p>A wide variety of medical lasers and light systems are used to remove hair and rejuvenate the skin. However, each laser is not effective for all skin types and hair colors. This means patients have to visit multiple practices to achieve their desired results. </p><p>Our new AURORA system from SYNERON uses a technology called ELOS. It combines Optical and Radio Frequency (RF) to deliver satisfying, longer-lasting results.
