Omnilux Revive™ FAQ's

What to expect after the treatment?
Skin is refreshed and healthier, with a lovely glow. Stimulation of the collagen-producing cells takes place causing the skin’s foundation to be strengthened.
A course of Omnilux ™ treatments gives the best results, and the effects can continue after the course for several weeks-months. A single Omnilux™ treatment immediately after your injectable treatment helps improve recovery and maximises the results of your treatment.
 
How long will the treatment last?
For maximum skin benefits and long-lasting results, a course of 7-10 treatments over 3-5 weeks is recommended. A single booster treatment every 4-6 weeks can help maintain results.
 
Does the treatment hurt?
No. It is completely painless, lying under a bright red light, and once you get used to the light it is often very relaxing.
 
Is it safe?
Treatment is safe and effective for all skin types and colours.
 
How long does the procedure take?
The whole procedure takes up to 30 minutes. Your skin will be cleansed before the light treatment and afterwards moisturisers and sunblock are applied.
 
How quickly does it work?
Although you may see improvements during the course of treatments, optimum results will be seen 8-12 weeks after treatment, because the natural processes of healing and rejuvenation, stimulated by the light therapy, continue to work for this length of time.

Omnilux Blue™ Light for Acne

Omnilux Blue™ has proved revolutionary in the fight against acne. The bacteria that cause acne produce chemicals that are sensitive to light. Omnilux Blue™ works to stop the spread of these bacteria by delivering a constant blue light that penetrates deep into the layers of the skin. This naturally stimulates the body to produce chemicals that destroy the bacteria. Combining Omnilux Blue™ with Omnilux Revive™ will enhance its effectiveness. Omnilux Revive™ reduces inflammation, thereby assisting in the healing process during the course of blue light therapy.
