At Leif Rogers, MD, we’re proud to deliver treatments that are safe for a wide range of skin tones to patients in Beverly Hills and Pasadena. Our elōs treatments are designed to address pigmentation and vascular concerns without unnecessary skin damage.

Advanced Technology Built for Inclusion

Many light-based treatments carry limitations for deeper skin tones, but elōs was engineered to work for all patients. At Leif Rogers, MD, we offer elōs treatments to patients in Beverly Hills and Pasadena who want effective pigment and vascular correction without the added risks that light alone can pose to melanin-rich skin.

What Is elōs?

FDA-approved elōs technology pairs radiofrequency (RF) energy with light-based treatment, allowing your skin to be treated safely and effectively across a broader range of tones than light alone typically permits. The radiofrequency component helps regulate energy absorption, reducing your risk while maintaining results. While every patient has their own motivations for seeking treatment, our patients often choose elōs for the following benefits:

Safer treatment across a wider range of skin tones
Reduction in pigment irregularities and visible vessels
Lower risk of heat-related side effects
Consistent results without compromising on safety

Why Choose Leif Rogers, MD?

Treating pigment and vascular concerns safely across diverse skin tones requires more than owning the right equipment. Here, we deliver every treatment with precise, expert judgment built from experience. Our founder, Dr. Leif Rogers, MD, FACS, has spent his career treating patients across a wide spectrum of skin types, and that clinical background directly informs how our team approaches elōs candidacy and settings. Rather than applying a universal protocol, our aesthetic team evaluates your Fitzpatrick skin type and specific concern before recommending treatment parameters. Our approach is shaped by Dr. Rogers’ background as a board-certified, Ivy League-trained plastic surgeon and his passion for going over and beyond for his patients. Your treatment will be performed with the same level of precision and medical focus as our surgical procedures.

What to Expect From Your elōs Treatments in Beverly Hills and Pasadena

Understanding the Dual Energy Approach

elōs delivers radiofrequency and light energy together, with the radiofrequency preheating the tissue so less light energy is needed to achieve results. This reduces the risk of pigment-related side effects while still effectively treating your specific concerns.

Strategic, Targeted Treatment

Here, we frequently select elōs for patients with skin tones that limit options with traditional lasers. The most common treatment concerns include the following:

Sun spots and pigment irregularities
Visible facial redness, including rosacea, and vessels
Uneven skin tone
Skin laxity
Acne scars and age spots
Mild vascular concerns on the body

During your initial, private consultation, your aesthetician will confirm that elōs is the right fit for your specific skin tone and concerns.

A Calm, Unhurried Experience

At the start of your session, your aesthetician will cleanse your skin and apply a cooling gel to protect your skin's surface during treatment. The elōs device is then applied across your treatment area, delivering combined radiofrequency and light energy in controlled passes. Sessions typically last 20-30 minutes, depending on the number of treatment areas and whether you’re treating the face and the body.

Establishing Your Unique Treatment Schedule

Most patients require a series of four to six sessions spaced three to four weeks apart to see meaningful improvement, particularly for vascular concerns that respond gradually to repeated treatment. After your first session, your aesthetician will review your skin’s response to determine your specific maintenance needs.

A Recovery Designed With Safety in Mind

Because elōs is formulated to reduce heat-related risks, recovery tends to be gentler, even for patients with deeper skin tones. Most patients experience mild redness or warmth immediately after treatment, which resolves within a few hours. Pigment concerns may appear slightly darker for several days before clearing naturally.

Most patients in Beverly Hills and Pasadena return to normal activities, including social gatherings, work, and exercise, the same day, with no significant downtime required after treatment. We recommend avoiding direct, prolonged sun exposure for at least 48 hours to give your skin time to settle and recover.

Your Post-Treatment Process

After your elōs session, our team will walk you through aftercare instructions designed to protect your skin as it heals. This guidance may include the following:

Sun protection and exposure requirements
Gentle cleansing recommendations for sensitive, treated skin
Guidance on temporary darkening of treated pigment
Ingredients to avoid during the healing window
Side effects to monitor
Hydration and moisturization tips

You’ll return to either our Beverly Hills or Pasadena practice throughout your series for short follow-up visits with your aesthetician. There, they’ll monitor your skin's response and adjust your device settings if needed.

Even, Balanced Results Across Skin Tones

elōs is designed with safety across skin tones as a priority, so achieving your final results is a gradual process. Most patients see steady improvement in pigment and redness over the course of their treatment series, with final results typically emerging within several months.

elōs Frequently Asked Questions

Is elōs safe for very deep skin tones?

Yes. elōs was specifically designed to safely treat a broad range of skin tones by combining radiofrequency with light energy, which helps regulate energy absorption. During your consultation, your aesthetician will evaluate your skin and confirm whether elōs is the right treatment for you.

How is elōs different from traditional intense pulsed light (IPL) treatments?

Unlike traditional IPL, elōs combines radiofrequency with light energy, allowing effective treatment with lower light intensity. This approach helps reduce the risk of pigment-related side effects while addressing concerns such as discoloration and redness.

Can elōs treat both pigment and redness in the same session?

Yes. Depending on your skin concerns, your aesthetician may treat both pigmentation and vascular redness during the same appointment by customizing the elōs settings for each concern.

Will elōs work on tanned skin?

Recent sun exposure or tanning can increase the risk of pigmentation changes during treatment. Your aesthetician may recommend waiting until your tan has faded before beginning elōs to help ensure the safest and most effective results.

How soon will I notice results from elōs treatment?

Many patients begin noticing improvements in redness within the first few treatment sessions, while pigmentation concerns typically fade more gradually over the course of a recommended treatment series.
