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.

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.

The device is lightweight like a Kindle tablet and opens like a book for a double paneled treatment display

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.

iRestore Hair Growth System Month 5 Update

March 18, 2019 · Leave a Comment

Welcome to our update of the iRestore Hair Growth System for Month 5!

New to our series? Here is a quick sum-up of the iRestore Hair Growth System:

ABOUT THE IRESTORE HAIR GROWTH SYSTEM AND HOW IT HELPS GROW HAIR

If you’re just joining us in this series, you may be wondering what iRestore does for hair. The iRestore ID-500 Laser Dome is an FDA-Cleared device that is a dome-shaped helmet which is worn for 25 minutes, every other day, for a pain-free laser treatment. The iRestore unit is lightweight and has a generous length cord for ease of movement during use.  It is silent, so it can be used while watching TV or while on the computer.

What makes iRestore special? On the inside of the helmet are twenty-one Class 3R lasers and thirty LED diodes that produce a red light in a specific nanometer range. This range has been clinically demonstrated to stimulate hair follicles, thereby enhancing regrowth.

How does iRestore work? Laser light can give dormant hair follicles a “kick-start” by increasing blood flow to the follicles. This brings the right nutrients and supports to bring hair follicles back to life, once again producing hair. Second, the laser can extend the growth phase of hair to restore a healthy hair production cycle once again. As a side bonus, currently producing follicles and the scalp also benefit from increased nutrients and blood flow.

The Style Chicks team has three of our own using the iRestore system for six months to test it for ourselves.

LEE

I have continued to experience some new growth with the use of iRestore Hair Growth System. The new hair I reported last time has grown to over an inch. The hairs appear to be the same thickness as other healthy hairs on my head, which are thick and coarse. I now vary the part each time I use iRestore ID-500 Laser Dome but it is too soon to expect a response to this new approach. Since I need to color my hair at this time it is easier to identify the new hairs, which are white, my natural color, and it is obvious that I’m getting results!

COURTNEY

The system still continues to be so easy to use! Just 25 minutes a few times a week while I’m doing other tasks. I love using the serum as part of my scalp massage each day. I have had some new hair loss at the front of my hairline, but perhaps that is just shedding (which I am told is normal) at this point on a different spot of my scalp. Here is some background on the hair growth cycle and shedding:

        • It is normal to experience shedding even 5 months in as everyone is at a different phase in the hair cycle
        • Since the hair growth cycle is different for everyone, different stages of the cycle may last longer/shorter from person to person
        • Learn more about the hair growth cycle here.

While I have no new hairs in the spots that I have hair loss, I noticed something interesting: I have a few grey hairs popping up here and there. They are always short and wiry in their growth cycle. The other day I noticed that I was able to tuck the greys behind my ear, and that they were fairly silky. My guess is that these hairs are benefiting from the iRestore Hair Growth System. Even if these hairs weren’t affected by hair loss, the iRestore Hair Growth System has had a beneficial effect on the length of the growth cycle as well as the texture of the hair. Nice!

LYN

I love knowing that the iRestore Anti-Hair Loss Shampoo is keeping DHT off my scalp! The shampoo continues to keep my hair in good condition. I try to alternate off shampoos, but I can consistently use iRestore Anti-Hair Loss Shampoo without my hair getting dull.

As Courtney mentioned, using the iRestore Laser Device is really easy and fits into my schedule.

But my favorite part is the iRestore Anti-Hair Loss Serum: applying this serum to my scalp is a luxurious experience and I feel that it is making my hair stronger as it grows out.

I haven’t noticed any new hair growth, but it does feel stronger.

That’s it for Month Five! Stayed tuned for our Month 6 Update!
