- Patients with dark skin types may benefit from Sublative and Sublime treatments.

Energy Technology for Your Skin
elōs Plus from Syneron Candela combines optical (laser or pulsed light) and radio frequency energies into a single system with the flexibility to rejuvenate all skin tones. The device includes three tools, or handpieces, which deliver optical, radio frequency, and infrared energy.
elōs Plus treatments can improve the appearance of:
- Wrinkles
- Acne scars
- Skin discoloration and hyperpigmentation
- Sun damage
- Uneven skin texture
- Large pores
- Skin laxity
- Stretch marks
More Effective Than Other IPL Laser Treatments
The system’s three energy-based applicators work alone and in combination to safely enhance the effectiveness of the treatment while lowering the risk to your skin.
After an examination by your cosmetic dermatologist, Dr. Shaun Patel, a personalized treatment plan could include a combination of up to three handpieces.
Patients who visit our med spa with multiple skin concerns may benefit from Triniti Plus. The Triniti Plus treatment utilizes all three handpieces and can result in a significant improvement of the skin’s overall appearance.
Dr. Patel’s Approach with elōs Plus
Depending on your skin concerns, you may benefit from a treatment that uses one or more elōs Plus handpieces. Dr. Patel will examine your skin and make a personalized treatment recommendation during your visit to our Coral Gables clinic.
Dr. Patel uses the following handpieces:
- SRA (IPL Treatments): This handpiece uses broad-spectrum wavelengths of light energy to offer a safe and effective intense pulsed light (IPL) treatment. The treatment combines optical and radiofrequency energy to address pigmentation concerns. IPL — also known as photo rejuvenation or a photo facial — is an incredibly popular skin service.IPL treatments are designed to provide amazing color correcting benefits. This treatment may be ideal for you if you suffer from red or brown discoloration on the surface of the skin caused by prominent blood vessels and sun exposure. Sun spots, age spots, rosacea, and facial redness are commonly treated with IPL.
- Sublative: This handpiece uses a matrix of fractionated bipolar RF energy. Essentially, the RF energy creates a pattern of micro-injuries in the skin. These injuries, combined with the gentle heat from the treatment, encourage collagen production and collagen remodeling in the skin.You may benefit from Sublative rejuvenation if you want to treat textural issues, enlarged pores, and acne scars. Sublative can also improve brown pigmentation issues, especially when combined with SRA (IPL).
- Sublime: By utilizing RF energy and infrared energy, the sublime handpiece gently bulk heats the dermis. This heat can effectively stimulate new collagen growth and create a helpful inflammatory response. The new collagen will help lift and tighten your skin in the treatment area.You may benefit from a Sublime session if you want to improve mild skin laxity. While this treatment will not replace a neck lift or facelift, it is an excellent option for people who are not interested in pursuing cosmetic surgery.
Triniti Plus is the term used to describe a treatment session that involves all three handpieces. This treatment starts with IPL, continues with Sublime, and then finishes with Sublative. Dr. Patel may recommend Triniti Plus if you have multiple aesthetic concerns such as discoloration, skin laxity, and uneven skin texture.
This treatment will likely encourage a dramatic overall improvement in the appearance of your skin. Patients tend to see remarkable results after Triniti Plus because it addresses virtually every sign of facial aging.
Frequently Asked Questions About elōs Plus Treatment
Is elōs Plus Treatment Painful?
Patients may feel a mild warming or prickling sensation during treatment, but it should not be painful. Topical anesthetic ointment may be used before an elōs Plus treatment to minimize discomfort.
What Are the Risks?
While most laser and skin rejuvenation treatments are safe, they still do come with risks patients should be aware of. Despite this, elōs Plus is designed to be safer for patients than earlier laser treatments. By using lower optical energy, it actively monitors your skin temperature during treatment to reduce the risk of the following:
- Scarring
- Swelling
- Bleeding
- Infection
- Discoloration
- Increased pigmentation
- Crusting
- Blistering
How Much Does elōs Plus Cost?
The average cost of most IPL skin rejuvenation treatments can start at $150 per session. However, other factors, such as your current skin condition, location, and more, may affect the cost of your treatment. At Miami Skin + Vein, we are happy to work with each patient to find the best financial options available.
Who Should Not Receive elōs Plus Treatment?
Although elōs Plus treatment is safe and effective for all skin types, patients with darker skin tones may be at an increased risk for scarring, changes in skin pigmentation, and discoloration. Patients who are currently taking Accutane and those with an active skin infection should not undergo this treatment. Laser treatments are also not recommended during pregnancy.
How Many elōs Plus Treatments Will I Need?
Skin rejuvenation is about taking care of the skin consistently. Most patients see the best results after two to four elōs Plus treatments.
What Can I Expect Before, During, and After Treatment?
Dr. Patel will discuss exactly what to expect during your personalized treatment.
All patients should follow their before and aftercare instructions.
Generally, before receiving an elōs Plus treatment, patients must limit sun exposure, consistently apply sunscreen, and stop using irritating skin products.
After treatment, the skin will appear red and swollen. Patients need to continue using sun protection and keep their skin moist.
What Are the Benefits of Skin Rejuvenation In the Miami Climate?
Because of the great sunshine in Florida, living in Miami and its surrounding areas can be harsh on the skin. Regular elōs Plus treatments can help protect the skin from early signs of aging and sun damage. Not only will elōs Plus treatments improve the appearance of wrinkles, acne scars, pores, and discoloration, but they will also boost collagen production and keep your skin clean and radiant.
