Elos Technology
Although lasers were invented in the mid 60s, it wasn’t until the mid 1980s 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, and for nearly a decade, IPL remained the industry standard for many non-invasive aesthetic procedures. However, limitations on the technology remained, including limited penetration, poor targeting, and risk of epidermal pigmentation changes and scarring.
