Asked Questions
What is
Omnilux Revive?
Omnilux Revive is a professional clinic facial treatment,
using the power of pure red light to deliver a totally
natural method of skin rejuvenation.
How does it work?
Omnilux Revive works with the body’s own natural
processes to counteract the effects of ageing and deliver
an effective photofacial. Clients in trials have reported
an overall lifting and hydrating effect, an improvement
in skin tone and texture, an evening-out of pigmentation
and, in some cases, a smoothing effect on fine lines
and wrinkles.
Is it safe?
The light source has been used in hospital dermatology and oncology departments for more than ten years for the treatment of non-melanoma skin cancer. There are no hazards or complications associated with the light treatment.
I’ve heard lasers are dangerous
Don’t worry, the Omnilux light is NOT a laser
and is not classified as a class II device. The regulatory
authorities in many countries have also given it their
seal of approval.
Is the light hot?
No! The scientifically designed light source cannot
produce harmful UVA, UVB or infrared radiation. You
will experience a pleasant warm feeling from the light
beam. Clients have reported a feeling of well-being
and relaxation during and after treatment.
Who cannot have the treatment?
The light is very gentle, so the main contra-indications
are due to photosensitivity. We would not administer
the light if you have epilepsy or porphyria. We also
require ladies who are pregnant to obtain their doctor’s
consent for treatment. Your clinic will discuss the
contra-indications with you before treatment.
How many treatments do I need?
Omnilux Revive can be administered as a single “pick-me-up”
photofacial treatment for tired or polluted skin, or
as a course of treatments. A typical course is usually
three treatments, carried out within a week. After your
initial course of three treatments your therapist will
assess your response to the treatment. Only if you and
your therapist are happy with the results will you continue
with additional treatments. Your therapist will advise
you on how many treatments may be suitable for your
particular needs.
How long will the
treatment take?
Your first treatment will take 45 minutes, allowing
for your initial consultation. Ongoing treatments will
typically be 30 minute appointments, during which, the
light is administered for 20 minutes. There is a deluxe,
holistic version of Omnilux Revive offered as a one-off
facial which lasts for one hour. This is available within
selected salons.
Is there any downtime with the
treatment?
No! Unlike laser therapy there is no need for recovery
time.
Will I see results straight away?
Many clients experience an immediate effect, however,
every client will be different. The initial effects
you will see are a clearer, brighter and smoother complexion,
often after the first treatment. The length of the course,
and skin type treated, will determine the results seen
on fine lines and wrinkles.
How long will the results last?
This varies according to skin type and lifestyle. When
you have completed your course, we would usually recommend
that you have one maintenance treatment on a 4-6 week
basis, as this will prolong the results achieved.
Is Omnilux Revive suitable for
men?
Yes! This is a very effective treatment for both men
and women. It is non-invasive and easy to perform.
How much is the treatment?
Every salon has its own pricing structure, so the price
you pay will depend upon the Omnilux Revive programmes
that each clinic offers.
Can Omnilux Revive be used in
conjunction with other cosmetic treatments?
Omnilux Revive is offered as part of a clinic facial.
The purity and safety of the light means it can be used
with many skin care products and cosmetic treatments
to further enhance their effect. |
