Firstly, neither IPL nor Elos are laser. Laser was the first technology for hair removal invented by accident in the 70s, IPL followed in the early 90s and the elos about a decade later.

IPL is intense pulsed light which is attracted to the melanin in the hair shaft and heats it, causing collateral damage to the hair follicle if the intensity is high enough. Elos is a combination of IPL and RF (bi-polar radio frequency), the IPL pre-heats the hair shaft and then the RF is attracted to the pre-heated follice and disables it. Due to the fact that the IPL is only pre-heating and not trying to cause collateral damage the level of light intensity required is far lower with elos as opposed to IPL only treatment.

The benefit of Elos is three fold. Elso is more effective as it specifically treats the follice and not just the hair shaft. Due to the lower levels of light intensity it is safer and can therefore be used on a wider range of skin tomes and hair colours. IPL can not be used on very dark skin and is ineffective on red, blonde and grey hair, Elos overcomes these drawbacks. The lower light intensity also makes the treatment more comfortable (i.e IPL can be a little painful with a sharp heat sensation). Finally and importantly for home use systems, the lower level of light intensity required for elos make a treatment far faster. For example treating with the Philips Lumea on the legs is very impractical and would take a whole morning. There is a new Elos in-home system called 'Me, My Elos about to be launched in the UK, Italy, Germany, France, etc. This enables a full leg treatment in only 10 minutes and a whole body treatment in 30 mins. This compares very favourably to salon treatments in terms of cost at £450 in the UK

Are Foto Facial and Laser facial the same process?

Uses intense Pulse Light with Radiofrequency (IPL with RF) is a light source treatment for skin rejuvenation. It targets uneven skin tones, pigment irregularities, spider veins, redness, age spots, freckles and rough appearance of the skin. Expectations are lightening of the skin tone, reducing the aged look from sun damage and clearing of red pigmentation issues. Fading of freckles, age spots, spider veins and generalized redness associated with rosacea. There is also some improvement in skin texture. IPL with RF is approached in a 5 treatment series. Maintenance treatments are advised and available for patients completing their series. Using ELOS (electrical optical synergy) technology, the machine's applicator emits a filtered spectrum of light targeted at skin color. The pigment absorbs this energy and transforms it to heat. Lightening of the pigment usually occurs after 2-3 weeks after treatment. The RF component works on the skin texture as this energy is absorbed in the dermis and stimulates collagen production. The LaserFacial™ is a treatment for the face using a Yag laser in a "paintbrush" fashion to address photo aging. Over long periods of time, sun exposure can lead to changes in the facial skin of dilated capillaries, pigment irregularities and a rough texture to the skin. The 1064-wavelength laser is attracted to the red color of blood and produces a heat reaction causing a decrease in caliber of the vessels and shrinking of the oil glands openings into the skin. This will improve the texture and color of the skin to a more youthful appearance. The treatment is done at Skin Spa by an aesthetician and requires no preparation or aftercare. Most patients are pink for several hours and can apply make-up as soon as the treatment is finished. A series of treatments is recommended to get the most benefit.

Does league of legend require strategy?

Yes. As an RTS/MOBA (Real Time Strategy/Multiplayer Online Battle Arena), it requires quite a bit of strategy to move up through the elos (the difficulty level of opponents you are matched against). At first, it does not seem like it takes much skill, because you are playing against people that are beginners, but as you win more and more matches, you are matched against stronger players, and you will eventually reach your ideal elo, and win approximately 50% of the games.As for the depth of strategy, there are many aspects of the game that should be taken into consideration in how you play. I won't go into the details of each; I'm just listing off the aspects of the game so you can see that there is more to the game than you see at first.Team compositionTeam coordinationCounteringAnticipating an enemy buildFlexibility in one's own buildZoningGankingLast hittingMap controlBackdooringPositioningInterplay between champion skillsThese are just a few aspects of the game; there are many more. There is also no single correct way to do any of these; there are Pros and Cons of each method.
