What is Electro-Optical Synergy (elōs)?

Electro-optical Synergy (elōs) is the unique and patented technology that drives the 

mē’s ability to remove unwanted hair. It combines two types of energy- Intense Pulsed 

Light (IPL) and Radio Frequency (RF) to remove hair through selectively targeting the 

hair follicle in a safe yet effective manner .

Invented by Dr. Shimon Eckhouse, elōs technology was exclusively available to doctors 

through professional hair removal devices, however, it is now available to consumers 

directly through the mē device.

How does Electro-Optical Synergy (elōs) Work?

elōs technology selectively delivers heat from IPL and RF energy to the hair follicle 

affecting the source of where your hair grows. The hair follicle is destroyed, thereby 

removing and reducing the amount of hair you’re left with in the treated area. elōs 

technology can even be used safely and effectively on most skin types .

Hair Growth Cycle

Every hair in our body goes through a complete growth cycle, from an active to resting 

phase. Light-based treatments work best on hairs in their active phase.

How long each cycle lasts varies from person to person and between the different 

parts of the body. Other factors such as genetics, metabolism and age also influence 

the duration of each growth stage .

What to expect from your treatment

You will need to treat the areas of unwanted hair multiple times in order to target hair in 

the active cycle .

After a hair follicle is treated, it can take one to two weeks for the hair to fall out.

During this time, it may look like hair is still growing, but really the hair is being “pushed 

out .”

You may or may not see these hair stubs pushed out from the skin .
