eLOS SRA is an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment designed to improve the appearance of sun damage, brown spots, facial redness, visible superficial blood vessels and uneven skin tone. The technology combines optical light energy with bipolar radiofrequency (RF), allowing two forms of energy to work together during treatment.
At our Vancouver clinic, eLOS SRA treatments are customized according to your skin concerns, treatment area and individual skin characteristics. Whether you are concerned about accumulated sun damage, red or brown discoloration, or an uneven complexion, a consultation allows us to determine whether eLOS SRA is appropriate for your skin.
Changes in skin tone can develop gradually because of sun exposure, aging, visible blood vessels and other factors. eLOS SRA is primarily used for skin rejuvenation involving pigmented and vascular imperfections.
Depending on your skin and the nature of the concern, treatment may help improve the appearance of:
Because redness and pigmentation can have different causes, an assessment is important before treatment. Not every brown or red spot should automatically be treated with an energy-based procedure.
eLOS stands for electro-optical synergy. Instead of relying on a single type of energy, the technology combines optical light with bipolar radiofrequency during treatment.
The light component is used to target visible colour irregularities within the skin, including certain brown pigmentation and superficial vascular concerns. Bipolar RF energy works alongside the optical energy as part of the combined eLOS treatment approach. The SRA applicator was developed specifically for skin rejuvenation involving vascular and pigmented lesions.
Treatment settings can be adjusted based on the concern being addressed and the characteristics of the patient’s skin.
People searching for eLOS SRA often compare it with an IPL photofacial because both treatments use light energy to address visible pigmentation and redness.
The important difference is that eLOS SRA does not use optical light alone. It combines pulsed optical energy with bipolar radiofrequency, which is why it is often described as a dual-energy skin rejuvenation treatment rather than a conventional light-only treatment.
The better option for you depends on factors such as the type of pigmentation or redness present, your skin characteristics and your treatment goals. A consultation is the best way to determine which technology is appropriate rather than choosing a treatment based only on the name of the device.
Your appointment begins with an assessment of the areas you would like to improve. Your provider can evaluate your skin, discuss your goals and determine appropriate treatment settings.
During treatment, the SRA applicator delivers controlled pulses of optical and radiofrequency energy to the selected area. Individual sensations and treatment times can vary depending on the area being treated and the settings required.
After your session, your provider will explain the appropriate aftercare for your skin. Temporary reactions can vary between patients, so following your individualized post-treatment instructions is important.
There is no single treatment schedule that is appropriate for everyone.
The number of sessions may depend on:
Some concerns may require a series of treatments rather than a single session. During your consultation, we can recommend a treatment plan based on your skin rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
eLOS SRA may be worth considering if your primary concerns include brown pigmentation, sun spots, facial redness, superficial visible vessels or an uneven-looking complexion.
However, determining why a red or pigmented area is present is an important part of treatment planning. Your provider should also review relevant factors such as your skin condition, recent sun exposure, medications, previous treatments and other considerations before recommending an energy-based procedure.
A professional assessment helps determine whether eLOS SRA is suitable or whether another treatment would better address your concern.
Rosacea can produce persistent facial redness and visible small blood vessels. Because eLOS SRA can target vascular imperfections, it may be used to improve the visible redness and superficial vessels associated with rosacea.
It is important to distinguish improvement in visible redness from treatment of the underlying condition itself. Rosacea is a chronic skin condition, so treatment recommendations should be based on your individual symptoms and skin assessment.
Repeated sun exposure can contribute to visible brown spots and an uneven complexion, particularly on areas that receive frequent exposure.
The SRA applicator can be used to target certain superficial pigmented lesions and sun-related discoloration as part of a skin rejuvenation treatment.
Because not all pigmentation is the same, proper assessment is especially important. Identifying the type of pigmentation helps determine whether an energy-based treatment is appropriate and allows your provider to recommend a more individualized approach.
