Professional diode laser hair removal system with bipolar radiofrequency (eLase with Motif LHR)
Description
The Syneron Candela eLase with Motif LHR is a medical-grade, professional laser hair removal platform that combines an 810 nm diode laser with proprietary elōs bipolar radiofrequency technology. The system uses the Motif LHR handpiece to deliver fast, virtually pain-free hair removal treatments across a wide range of skin tones and hair types. Designed for use in aesthetic and dermatology clinics, the eLase platform offers high-speed scanning modes, integrated contact cooling and real-time skin impedance monitoring to enhance safety, comfort and treatment efficiency for permanent hair reduction.
Bnefits
- Combines diode laser (810 nm) and bipolar radiofrequency (elōs) for effective hair reduction on a wide range of skin tones and hair types, including higher Fitzpatrick types.
- Motif LHR mode provides fast, virtually pain-free hair removal with high repetition rates, improving patient comfort and reducing treatment times.
- Real-time monitoring of skin impedance and integrated contact cooling help to enhance safety and reduce the risk of epidermal injury.
- High-speed diode platform designed for rapid coverage of large treatment areas, improving clinic workflow and throughput.
- Professional, medical-grade system with dedicated Motif LHR and Motif IR applicators for hair removal and non-invasive skin treatments (wrinkle/texture) depending on configuration.
- CE-marked class IIa medical device and designed to comply with applicable laser safety and performance standards for clinical use.
Indications
- Permanent hair reduction and removal on the face and body using the Motif LHR applicator.
- Laser hair removal on a broad range of skin tones (including darker skin types) and hair types, as per the manufacturer’s clinical indications.
- Use in professional aesthetic, dermatology and medical clinics for high-volume hair removal treatments on suitable patients.
Composition
- Laser platform: eLase dermatologic system combining optical (diode laser) and radiofrequency (RF) energy in a single console.
- Laser wavelength (Motif LHR LHR mode): 810 nm diode laser.
- Laser wavelength (Motif IR mode, where supplied): 915 nm diode for non-ablative skin treatments.
- Energy delivery: combination of diode laser fluence and bipolar RF energy (elōs technology) with selectable modes including Motif (high-frequency, low-energy scanning).
- Cooling: integrated contact cooling at the treatment tip to protect the epidermis and increase comfort.
- Construction: wheeled floor-standing console with LCD interface, key switch, emergency stop and ports for Motif LHR and Motif IR handpieces; electrical specifications 100–240 VAC, 50–60 Hz, single phase.
Formulation
- Capital equipment: floor-standing dermatologic laser/RF platform (eLase console) with Motif LHR handpiece for hair removal.
- Class IV laser device, class I, type BF electrical protection, designed for use in a medical environment by trained professionals only.
- Energy delivery in multiple modes: standard LHR mode (up to 50 J/cm² fluence, 15 × 12 mm spot, up to 3 Hz) and Motif mode (high frequency, lower per-pulse energy) as per system specifications.
Packaging
- Standard system configuration (per user manual) typically includes:
- • eLase system console FG7077x.
- • Motif LHR applicator FG7078x (hair removal).
- • Optional Motif IR applicator FG7079x (non-invasive wrinkle treatment), if purchased.
- • Applicator base and mounting hardware.
- • Two pairs of laser safety goggles and ocular shields.
- • System keys, warning signs for treatment room doors and user documentation (user manual and quick-reference guides).
- Used units sold via brokers such as Laser and Aesthetics may include the console, Motif LHR handpiece and accessories as specified in the individual sales listing.
Usage
- Install the eLase system in a suitable medical environment following the manufacturer’s installation guidelines, including appropriate power supply, ventilation, and laser safety measures.
- Connect the Motif LHR handpiece (and other applicators if supplied) to the console, ensuring all connectors are fully seated and the applicator is properly mounted in its base when not in use.
- Power on the system with the key switch and allow the device to complete its internal self-tests. Confirm that the system reports ready status with no error messages.
- Select the appropriate treatment mode (e.g. LHR or Motif LHR hair removal mode) and input patient-specific parameters according to the manufacturer’s treatment guidelines (skin type, hair colour and thickness, body area).
- Prepare the treatment area by shaving visible hair, cleaning the skin and ensuring there are no contraindicated conditions (e.g. active infection, recent tanning) in accordance with the user manual and clinic protocols.
- Apply a suitable contact medium if recommended and position the handpiece flat against the skin with adequate contact and cooling.
- Deliver treatment pulses or perform scanning passes over the treatment area, monitoring patient comfort and skin response while adhering strictly to the system’s safety instructions.
- After treatment, inspect the skin for immediate responses (e.g. perifollicular erythema) and provide appropriate post-care advice (avoid heat exposure, sun protection, etc.) according to clinical protocols.
- Schedule follow-up sessions based on hair growth cycles (typically several sessions spaced weeks apart) and document settings and responses for each visit.
- Only trained and appropriately qualified practitioners should operate the eLase system; all operators must follow the full instructions for use (IFU) and local laser safety regulations.
Contraindications
- Patients for whom professional laser hair removal is clinically inappropriate as determined by a qualified practitioner (e.g. certain photosensitive disorders or medications, active skin infection or inflammation in the treatment area).
- Treatment over areas with open wounds, active infections, suspicious pigmented lesions, or on tattooed skin within the intended treatment zone.
- Use in patients who do not meet the safety criteria defined in the eLase system’s instructions for use (IFU), including any contraindications listed in the official user manual.
- Use by untrained personnel or outside a controlled medical/aesthetic environment that complies with relevant laser safety regulations.
Adverse Effects
- Common, usually transient effects associated with professional laser hair removal, such as mild pain or discomfort during treatment, transient erythema (redness) and perifollicular edema (swelling).
- Temporary changes in skin pigmentation (hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation), particularly in darker skin types or after sun exposure, may occur if protocols are not strictly followed.
- Rare but possible risks include blistering, burns, scarring or infection if incorrect parameters are used or aftercare instructions are not observed.
- All adverse effects and risk mitigation measures are detailed in the official eLase user manual and should be reviewed by practitioners before treatment.
Storage Conditions
- Store and operate the eLase system in a clean, dry clinical environment within the temperature and humidity ranges specified by the manufacturer.
- Ensure adequate ventilation around the console and avoid blocking air inlets or outlets.
- Do not use or store the device near flammable materials or in explosive atmospheres, in accordance with the user manual warnings.
- Protect the handpieces and optical surfaces from physical damage, contamination and dust when not in use (e.g. by placing them on the supplied applicator base and covering as recommended).
Duration
Hair removal typically requires a course of approximately 6\u20138 or more treatment sessions, spaced around 4\u20138 weeks apart depending on area, hair type and skin type, as determined by the treating clinic\u2019s protocol and the manufacturer\u2019s guidelines.
Onset
Reduction in hair growth is usually observed progressively after each session, with noticeable, lasting reduction often achieved over the course of multiple treatments; individual responses vary with hair and skin characteristics.
