Overview
elōs Clear Skin is not a topical acne treatment formula, but rather is a new kind of doctor-delivered therapy that combines bi-polar radio frequency with laser or light emission. A patient seeking treatment with this device is required to go to a doctor’s office, where they will undergo treatment for several minutes as their skin is exposed to the device. The research staff at ClearSkinReviews.com was intrigued by this new technology, since it seems to be a safer alternative to typical laser treatments for acne lesions. 

Featured Ingredients
Since elōs Clear Skin is not a typical acne formula, it does not contain any ingredients. Rather, the device combines radio waves and laser (or light) beams and is applied to the skin. According to the researchers at elōs Clear Skin, this method offers many advantages over typical laser treatment, which can cause irritation and scarring. elōs Clear Skin is known as a “cold” technology that does not burn or harm the skin. 

According to the 3 clinical studies that measured the effects of elōs Clear Skin on acne, the technology causes about a 47% reduction in the number and severity of acne lesions after 8 treatments. The researchers found that, after 4 weeks, elōs Clear Skin helped prevented acne in about 70% of cases. Both of these results are significant, but may not be as impressive as topical ingredients such as Salicylic Acid, Silicol Dioxide and other known acne fighting compounds. Since treatment with elōs Clear Skin costs about $300 each visit, the cost of this method could end up being more than $2400 for the average patient.

Web Site at a Glance
The web site for elōs Clear Skin actually contains information about this technology, as well as other similar devices invented by Syneron, Inc. The section on elōs Clear Skin describes how this method not only treats acne, but is also used for skin tightening, hair removal, varicose veins and other skin problems. The clinical research is available for download and full perusal. The site contains plenty of before/after pictures of patients who have undergone elōs Clear Skin treatment. In addition, consumers can click a link that will refer them to a physician in their local area who offers elōs Clear Skin treatment. 

Pros
- Plenty of convincing clinical research on its ability to treat and prevent acne

- Seems superior to typical laser treatments

Cons
- High cost - on average about $300 a visit

- Effects may be considered moderate, especially when compared to topical formulas

Summary
As impressive as the elōs Clear Skin seems to our research staff, the fact remains that most people will not be able to afford this new technology. Even though elōs Clear Skin has a history of benefits for those with acne, we recommend waiting until it becomes less expensive.
