Science Driven Skincare Tools: Kat Burki Micro Firming Wand

January 14, 2020 · 7 Comments

Want to make the most of those precious serums, concentrates, and eye creams? Kat Burki Micro Firming Wand to the rescue. It uses ionic energy via iontophoresis and micro-vibration to enhance the effect of active ingredients while firming the skin. This ensures the absorption of every last drop of a skincare product so nothing goes to waste.
The perfect pairing: Kat Burki Eye Concentrate with Kat Burki Micro Wand

The perfect pairing: Kat Burki Nutrient-C Eye Cream with Kat Burki Micro Firming Wand

We recently featured the Kat Burki Nutrient-C Eye Cream, a stable Vitamin C with a slew of natural, skin-enhancing ingredients. The Kat Burki Micro Firming Wand enables the absorption of every precious drop.

WHAT IT IS

A lightweight, handheld cordless tool that gently massages in your favorite creams and serums to increase absorption. It uses ionic energy via iontophoresis and micro-vibration to enhance the effect of active ingredients.

WHAT IT DOES

This tool is helpful because the delicate eye area is tricky. It is easy to accidentally stretch or rub eye skin when applying topicals.

Instead of rubbing your favorite serum into the delicate eye area, we love the idea of using this micro FIRMING WAND.

The Science

This tool employs two known principles of transdermal delivery: Iontophoresis and micro-vibration.

Iontophoresis

This wand employs a known means of delivering a treating active (typically a medicinal drug) into the outermost layer of the skin by using a voltage gradient on the skin. The voltage increases the permeability of the skin. This practice is called Iontophoresis.

Iontophoresis uses an electric current to deliver a medicine or other chemical through the skin. It is sometimes called “an injection without the needle”. Iontophoresis is used in therapy, medicine, dentistry, lab sciences, and physiology.

In this case, the voltage gradient is low and is not felt as anything other than a light vibration. There is no “zapping” feeling and it stops when there is no more product to absorb. There is no “overdoing” it or irritating the skin with this wand.

Micro-vibration

Micro-vibration applies just the right amount of pressure to aid absorption without harming the skin. It is a subtle oscillation, not the full-on Clarisonic like oscillating power, which would be too intense for delicate areas like eyes, browbone. The wand is powerful enough to aid absorption but gentle enough for the eye area. It only vibrates when their is product moisture and it is pressed correctly against your skin. Once the product absorbs, it automatically shuts off.

Micro-vibration is firming because it enhances micro-circulation.

ABOUT THE KAT BURKI BRAND

The brand delivers only cold-processed, nutrient-dense formulations. Every Kat Burki product is packed with intelligently created Super Nutrient Complexes for maximum potency – every element has a purpose. Every formula is free from chemicals, parabens, synthetic fragrances, gluten and are cruelty-free.  There are no fillers. Because they are so nutrient-rich, it makes perfect sense that they would develop a tool to aid absorption.

CES Beauty Innovations: HairMax PowerFlex Cap Laser Hair Growth Device

January 10, 2020 · 15 Comments

This week, there are exciting beauty innovations at Consumer Electronics Show (CES)! HairMax debuted their latest hair regrowth device, the PowerFlex Cap. The HairMax PowerFlex Cap has 272 medical-grade lasers! That’s the highest count available on a home-use hair growth device! HairMax PowerFlex Cap helps even moderate hair loss without drug-related side effects.

HairMax PowerFlex Cap

Choosing the Right Hairmax Device for You

Style Chicks has long been a fan of HairMax devices. We’ve featured the Hairmax Laser Comb Professional 12, HairMax Laserband 82, and now the Hairmax PowerFlex Cap.

Not sure which device will work best for you?  Read our HairMax PowerFlex Cap overview and our comparison between this HairMax PowerFlex Cap and the LaserBand 82.

Who HairMax DEVICES can benefit

Hair loss affects 40% of women, including women under 30. There are fewer treatment options for women coping with hair loss. Many drugs for hair loss have unwanted side effects.

There is a brief window to revive dormant hair follicles so they once again grow hair. This chart shows degrees of hair loss. Does your loss look like one of the stages in blue? Then clinical testing shows that a HairMax device can help.

THE HairMax PowerFlex Cap DEVICE

Who HairMax PowerFlex Cap Laser 272 Can Help

The sooner hair loss treatment begins, the better the results. Female stages I-2 to I-3 are probably only noticeable to you and your hairstylist. But it still distressing and indicates measures should be taken ASAP.

THE HairMax PowerFlex Cap DEVICE

Want to try everything you can to reverse hair loss? HairMax PowerFlex Cap is the most powerful of laser devices. Use it with or without topicals.

The Laser 272 PowerFlex Cap Includes:

  • Laser 272 PowerFlex Device
  • Storage/Travel Case
  • Accessory Case
  • Sports Cap
  • Controller
  • Controller Case w/ Belt Clip
  • Controller Cable
  • Power Cord
  • Power Supply

HairMax PowerFlex Cap FAST FACTS


  • 272 medical-grade laser diodes for 1360mW output. No LEDs.
  • Densely packed laser diodes aligned to deliver uniform follicle stimulation.
  • Exclusive PowerFlex design provides maximum flexibility and adjusts to various head sizes and shapes.
  • The soft silicone insert conceals the circuitry and protects the laser diodes.
  • Dual operating mode technology for the choice of 15 or 30-minute treatment.
  • Rechargeable & lightweight battery for portable use, including while traveling.

 

The cap contains and protects the medical-grade lasers for the durability of use.

 

Set the timer for 15 or 30-minute treatments.

 

Make sure to securely fasten the cap adapter to the power charge cord

comparing HairMax Devices

Both the HairMax Laserband 82 and HairMax PowerFlex cap have:

  • FDA approval
  • medical-grade lasers, NOT LED lights.
  • clinical studies showing results (see the box Clinical Research Studies)
  • Portable and can be used while traveling
  • 2-Year warranty
  • 6 Month Money Back Guarantee

HairMax

Here are the basic differences between the HairMax Laserband 82 and this HairMax PowerFlex Cap.

Design

The HairMax LaserBand 82 is a wide band that treats the scalp in three sections. It is placed at the front of the hairline in the first position. Then at the beep, slide it back to the next treatment area. The device can be positioned to treat the temples and sideburn area if desired.

Using the HairMax Laserband 82

The light-activated serum works with the HairMax device

The HairMax LaserBand 82 device

The PowerFlex cap is placed on the head and doesn’t require any manual adjustment or repositioning during treatment. It treats the whole scalp at once.

If ease of use is important to you, PowerFlex is the easiest laser device design to use.

Laser Power, Coverage and Use

POWERFLEX CAP

The PowerFlex Cap has 272 lasers, packed densely on the cap as shown.

Insert the PowerFlex Cap within the included baseball-style cap or the cap of your choosing. You can wear it outside and walk around as needed.

Fit the device into the HairMax cap

PowerFlex Cap covers the hairline, crown, and hairline. Depending on your head size and shape, it may not reach the temple and sideburns as well as the LaserBand 82 can.

PowerFlex Cap bathes the top of the head with an unparalleled amount of low-level laser light. If your hair loss is frontal or stages 1-4 through II-2, the PowerFlex can aggressively treat hair loss before it is too late to reverse it.

The 272 lasers on the PowerFlex cap

The LaserBand 82

The LaserBand 82 has 82 medical-grade lasers across the band. They are densely placed, and it is moved in sequence on the scalp over three treatment areas or zones. The effect is equivalent to 82 lasers times the three area zones, or 246 lasers total. It is 1230 mW’s total output, less strong than the PowerFlex Cap (1360mW output) but is still a robust output for effective treatment. But since the Laserband82 is manually positioned, it is possible to accidentally skip an area.

COMB TEETH

A very useful feature is the parting combs that allow the laser light full access to the scalp.

If your hair loss is patchy or if your remaining hair is dense in sections, this parting comb feature may be a deciding factor in favor of the LaserBand 82.

Additional Considerations

Treatment Time

  • The HairMax LaserBand 82 is faster, as little as 90 seconds per area.
  • The HairMax PowerFlex has two treatment modes, 15 minutes and 30 minutes.

Cost

  • The HairMax LaserBand 82 is $799. (Currently $699 at Amazon)
  • The HairMax PowerFlex is $1999. (Currently $1749 at Amazon)

Clinical Research Studies


Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) occurs in both men and women.

HairMax uses Low-Level Laser Light Therapy or LLLT to treat AGA. Clinical studies show low-level laser light therapy can regrow hair. But not all hair growth devices get results. Research indicates only a specific laser light intensity can regrow hair. [1] HairMax devices deliver that intensity.

HairMax laser devices have been the subject of 7 clinical studies proving both efficacy and safety with an over 90% success rate. These clinical studies were conducted at major medical research centers in the U.S. showing an increase hair count of 129 additional new hairs per sq. inch and in 4 recent studies, an 81% increase in hair growth occurred.

For twenty years, HairMax has produced hair growth innovations. Theirs was the FIRST device on the market to receive FDA clearance as a medical device to treat hair loss and stimulate hair growth.

Style Chicks Favorite Things: reVive Light Therapy Clinical – Acne Treatment

December 5, 2019 · 10 Comments

Back in May 2017, we reviewed the reVive Light Therapy Clinical – Acne Treatment device, a home light therapy device for the treatment of acne. It has continued to be one of our personal favorite skincare devices for reducing and preventing acne. 

In case you didn’t catch it the first time, we wanted to bring you our review of this astounding device that delivers medi-spa level results in the convenience of your own home. We also have added a few tips we picked up in the time we have been using it!

So let’s get to it!

Thought acne was over now that you’re over 21? Think again.  Adult acne plagues both men and women. Light therapy is an effective acne treatment. Non-invasive and pain-free, light therapy is available in spas and dermatologist offices. Now it is also available in cost-effective devices for at-home use. But not all at-home light therapy devices are created equal. So we’re excited to find the highly effective, FDA-cleared, medical-grade reVive Light Therapy Clinical – Acne Treatment device.

ACNE CAN OCCUR AT ANY AGE

Teenage skin can bounce back from the drying effect of acne medications. But as an adult, battling acne and aging at the same time is daunting. What is worse, the topical products that worked in your teens aren’t even that effective on adult acne.

WHAT MAKES THE REVIVE LIGHT THERAPY CLINICAL -ACNE TREATMENT DEVICE SUPERIOR TO OTHER AT-HOME DEVICES?

reVive Light Therapy Clinical – Acne Treatment is a superior LED Light Therapy device. It is an FDA-cleared and OTC Class II medical-grade device. It features DPL (Deep Penetrating Light) Technology. This provides in-office quality results at home. DPL technology sets this device apart from many of the at-home use devices. DPL can get deep into the skin as an in-office treatment does.

Supported by Clinical Research

reVive is safe and effective for all skin tones. In a clinical study, 98% of users had improved acne. We liked this aspect because many skincare products cite user reports of how the users THINK they look when using the product. But reVive cites a clinical study with objective measures of efficacy for their results.

Safe for all skin tones, 98% of study participants in a clinical study demonstrated improved acne and dramatically clearer skin

Safe for all skin tones, 98% of study participants in a clinical study demonstrated improved acne and dramatically clearer skin

WHY LIGHT THERAPY FOR ACNE

Light encourages the body to heal. LED Light Therapy studies show rapid acne reduction. Blue light eliminates the bacteria on the skin, even in deeper skin layers. Light reaches deeper than a washcloth or sonic facial cleansing brush. It’s painless with no side effects. Continue to use your regular skincare products without a conflict.

WHY REVIVE LED LIGHT THERAPY

Has your acne ever looked better after a day of sun at the beach? All light kills bacteria. But light can cause skin damage.  reVive Light Therapy Clinical – Acne Treatment uses only the specific wavelength that eliminates bacteria: 415 nanometers on the blue light spectrum.

This wavelength of light attacks acne in three ways:
  1. It kills acne-causing bacteria
  2. It clears existing breakouts by starving the pimple.
  3. It prevents acne flare-ups by regulating oil production.
Studies show the precise 415 nm wavelength of light used by the reVive is safe and effective for acne treatment

This blue light leads to clear skin, often within
just a few days. It also reduces redness and inflammation. This makes acne less noticeable and easier to conceal with makeup. Safe for all skin tones, it will not alter the skin color. It is safe for sensitive skin that cannot tolerate topical acne treatments.

It doesn’t dry the skin like a topical cream. And bonus: the light enhances collagen production.

That’s a lot of blue light! reVive treats a large area of skin in acne-reducing light therapy with powerful diodes

I prefer this device with it’s big head to some of the spot treatment smaller devices to kill bacteria quickly and pre-empt acne instead of spot treating acne after it appears.

RESULTS

After one week of daily device use, my skin appeared much clearer with no major breakouts. Even stubborn blackheads around my nose are diminishing!
Regular use makes for clearer skin with far fewer breakouts.

CONCLUSION

The reVive Light Therapy Clinical – Acne Treatment device features dpl® Technology. DPL provides enhanced treatment efficacy. It gives in-office quality results at home in only a few minutes a day. It uses a safe wavelength of light that is safe for skin but kills bacteria. The large treatment head covers sizable portions of the face at once. It bathes the face in blue light to treat existing acne and prevent future acne. It is FDA-cleared and an OTC Class II medical-grade device. ReVive makes acne treatable for any age or gender in the comfort of your own home in just a few minutes a day.

A wonderful tool in your beauty arsenal to help combat acne breakouts!

Favorite Things: reVive dpl® IIa for Professional Wrinkle Reduction and Acne Treatment Light Therapy

November 24, 2019 · 10 Comments

Back in March 2018, we reviewed the reVive dpl® IIa, a home light therapy device. It has continued to be one of our personal favorite skincare device for reducing signs of aging and acne. The Style Chicks Skincare Team is astounded at the efficacy of the device and how easy it is to use.

reVive is having an amazing 40% off sitewide starting Thursday, November 28th through the end of the day Tuesday, December 3rd, no promo code necessary. In case you didn’t catch it the first time, we wanted to bring you our review of this astounding device that delivers medi-spa level results in the convenience of your own home, and at a fraction of the price, especially with the amazing Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale, they will be offering. We also have added a few tips we picked up in the time we have been using it!

So let’s get to it!

As part of our Style Chicks Hair and Skin Care Series, we’re exploring the advantages of home light therapy for improving skin. LED light therapy builds collagen, reduces wrinkles, improves acne, fades discoloration and scars. A high-quality light therapy device is a worthwhile investment. We recently tried the reVive dpl® IIa – Professional Wrinkle Reduction and Acne Treatment Light Therapy, which is an FDA-cleared, OTC Class II medical device. It is a lightweight panel big enough to cover the entire face at once. It uses powerful LED diodes that emit safe light therapy that tackles acne and wrinkles while building collagen.

Revive DPL Light Device

WHAT LIGHT THERAPY DOES FOR SKIN

Backed by numerous clinical studies, blue and red light therapy are both effective, pain-free, chemical-free, non-invasive way to improve the skin’s texture, tone, and firmness.

WHAT THE REVIVE dpl® IIa PANEL DOES

This device is for acne treatment and wrinkles. Today we focus primarily on the anti-wrinkle/anti-aging aspect of this device.

It reduces wrinkles by promoting collagen production. More collagen means stronger, more elastic skin with less sagging.

The device also improves skin tone, texture and reduces hyperpigmentation, which promotes the appearance of healthy, glowing, and youthful skin.

The reVive dpl® IIa is the only full-face professional light therapy devices with FDA clearance for in-home use.

THE REVIVE DPL® IIa SET INCLUDES:

  • Device
  • AC/DC power supply
  • Instruction manual
  • Goggles
  • One year warranty

 

HOW DOES THE REVIVE DPL® IIa RATE?

As beauty bloggers, we’ve tried many at-home light therapy products. The reVive DPL® IIa is in a class by itself. This light is powerful and consistently even, and feels much more like an in-office caliber treatment than other commercially available light therapy devices we’ve tried.

GOGGLES

The goggles say optional, but in my opinion, they are mandatory. The reason is that even with the goggles AND my eyes closed, I can still see the brightness of the light, just like a professional in-office IPL or light therapy treatment.

But I do like using these goggles, though, as they’re designed to fit just over the actual eye, exposing the maximum amount of orbital skin area for treatment. This allows dark circles, sagging upper lids and browbones, and the general orbital skin to get treatment, including crow’s feet.

The goggles are adjustable to be secure but comfortable.

FULL-FACE TREATMENT AT ONCE

This book-sized device covers your entire face (and much of throat) at once, making for faster and evener treatment.

DEEPLY SATURATED COLORED LIGHT

This device produces a powerful light! The whole wall behind you will be illuminated with color like a neon sign. Once you see that, other at-home light therapy devices pale in comparison. It’s not that other devices can’t deliver results, but if I’m going to spend the time and money do light therapy at home, I want a powerfully effective device.

 

MULTIPLE LIGHT THERAPY MODES

Choose the red or blue light setting, or use both at once.

RED LIGHT WRINKLE SETTING

RED LIGHT jump-starts tissue rejuvenation by increasing blood flow and collagen stimulation. Red light therapy significantly improves skin complexion, tone, and texture. It also reduces roughness, wrinkles, and fine lines. In clinical studies, Ultrasonographic tests show red light therapy increases collagen.

BLUE LIGHT ACNE SETTING

BLUE LIGHT is used to treat acne because it eliminates bacteria, reduces inflammation and redness, stabilizes oil glands, fades old and new scars and discoloration. This is especially helpful for adult acne, as the harsh drying methods we may have used as a teen are too rough on adult skin, especially wrinkling skin.

COMBO MODE: BOTH RED AND BLUE AT ONCE SETTING

Treat wrinkles and acne simultaneously with both red and blue light. This mode uses all of the colored light diodes for a super-powerful light therapy treatment. The combo works very effectively for wrinkles and maximizes light therapy based collagen production while fading discoloration and redness.

Interested in the expanded details on how these specific colors of light therapy work from a clinical view? Read our upcoming post covering all the need to know the science behind home light therapy. 

Using the device for a dual red and blue light therapy treatment. The diodes are powerful enough to cover my face, neck, palms, and the wall behind me in intense colored light

EASE OF USE

It’s comfortable on the skin, there is no burning or any discomfort at all, it’s quite relaxing. The device opens like a book, and it’s easy to hold the device for treatment right on the face. It’s lightweight like a Kindle tablet and can be propped up if needed.

It beeps at every minute interval until the treatment is over and it shuts itself off.

TIP: Before a light therapy session, apply an SPF-free serum or moisturizer for maximum benefit. We love the When Revivifying line from When Beauty. This decadent three-product line (which we will be reviewing soon), contains Brown Algae Extract from Jeju Island in South Korea. Brown Algae is photo-reactive, so using it with the reVive dpl IIa amplifies the effects!

This device is a collagen-building lifesaver for those with sensitive skin who cannot tolerate Vitamin C serums or Retinol because it works without any irritation, redness or dryness.

RESULTS

The reduction of wrinkles, fine lines, and crows feet are the hallmark of this light therapy device. My eleven lines appeared less deep and long even after a few uses. I find both eleven and smile lines look much smoother the day after I use the reVive DPL® IIa and my skin appears brighter.

I’m particularly happy with the ability to treat the eye area including crows feet, my undereye area gets a nice treatment of wrinkle reduction and lightening discoloration. The long-term ability to build collagen along the upper eyelid and browbone turns back time in a way that a topical eye cream alone cannot.

When I use the device at night before bed, my skin also has a lovely glow to it in the morning, I look more vibrant and awake, my skin tone seems more rosy and even.

Since using the device, I tend to use less foundation and concealer so the glow of my skin can shine through.

CONCLUSION

An outstanding addition to your at-home anti-aging arsenal, the reVive dpl® IIa – Professional Wrinkle Reduction and Acne Treatment Light Therapy provides powerful, professional quality results in an easy-to-use device that takes just minutes to use. This highly worthwhile investment treats face, throat, decolletage, and hands whenever you want.

This FDA-cleared, OTC Class II medical device is lightweight and covers the entire face at once for fast, even treatment. The three-light mode settings deliver precious collagen-building therapeutic light, which over the course of a few months, makes a meaningful difference in the strength, firmness, texture, and appearance of skin.
