Syneron

What is Syneron?

Syneron®’s full spectrum of non-invasive and minimally-invasive clinical applications Non-invasive and minimally-invasive aesthetic procedures have become the fastest growing segment of the aesthetic medicine market, driven by aging baby boomers with high disposable incomes.

Powered by revolutionary elōs Technology, Syneron® Medical Aesthetic Systems address the full spectrum of non-invasive and minimally-invasive clinical applications – providing you with the tools to offer these applications to your patients.

The history of Syneron® is one of innovation. With the limitations of intense pulse light (IPL) and conventional laser systems as his inspiration, master physicist, Dr. Michael Kreindel, was determined to come up with a better solution for medical aesthetics. After years of research and development, he created elōs (Electro-optical Synergy), the revolutionary technology platform that powers all Syneron® medical aesthetics systems.  Together, he and his long-time colleague, Dr. Shimon Eckhouse, the inventor and patent holder of IPL, founded Syneron® in 2000. Five product families were soon launched from this robust and promising pipeline and the stage was set for a new industry leader. Since then, Syneron® has been setting new standards in safety and efficacy for a wide range of medical aesthetic procedures.

Technology Evolution

While lasers were invented in the mid-60s, it wasn’t until the mid-70s that the technology had evolved enough to be used safely for dermatological applications. In 1991, physicist Dr. Shimon Eckhouse invented and patented intense pulsed light (IPL), a significant advancement over conventional lasers. A quantum leap occurred in the year 2000, when master physicist, Dr. Michael Kreindel, “combined” IPL technology with bi-polar radio frequency (RF) to create electro-optical synergy or elōs as it is now known. This revolutionary technology platform soon set new standards in safety and efficacy for a wide range of medical aesthetic procedures.

Laser Limitations

• Single range
• Single wavelength
• Very few aesthetic applications
• High epidermal absorption
• Many treatments required
• High risk of pigmentation changes and scarring

IPL Limitations

• Single range
• Multiple wavelength
• Limited penetration
• Poor targeting and selectivity
• Continual risk of epidermal pigmentation changes and scarring

The elōs Advantage

• Multiple range
• Multiple wavelength
• Extensive applications
• Excellent targeting and selectivity
• Improved safety for all skin types (less optical energy compared to conventional lasers and IPLs)
• Enhanced penetration for improved treatment results
• Minimal epidermal absorption —low risk for pigment changes and scarring
• Additional safety features, including Active Dermal Monitoring™and RF electrode contact check

The elōs advantages in safety and efficacy are documented in many medical aesthetic practices around the globe.
