Kathy Ireland Worldwide (kiWW)
launched the reVive Light Therapy systems in June of this year. Pricing in at
$69 to $350, the reVive Light Therapy systems seem to offer an affordable
alternative to at-home skincare devices. Having had the opportunity to review
other skincare systems, we’re familiar with how the products are supposed to
work and what results one should experience.
First and foremost for any
at-home skincare system is safety, for which the FDA says a resonating “yes”
for the reVive Light Therapy systems. The next issue for devices of this type
is ease of use and effectiveness. Focusing upon four key skin issues --
anti-aging, uneven skin tone and hyperpigmentation, acne and skin healing and
additionally pain relief, we weren’t exactly convinced that one system could
target an array of skin care problems plus reduce pain. But, we are fearless
when it comes to testing out products for readers and forged ahead.
reVive Light Therapy offers four different systems, each
utilizing various forms of light therapy to address a specific skincare and
pain concerns: reVive Light Therapy
Essential ($69), reVive Light Therapy Clinical C 60 ($169), reVive Light
Therapy Professional “Cordless Handheld” ($249), and reVive Professional “Full
Face” DPL Panel System ($349).
The system that we received is the reVive Light Therapy
Professional “Cordless Handheld,” which comes with three interchangeable LED
heads, individual instruction booklets, goggles and a travel case. Beginning
with the Blue Acne Treatment head (Because we happened to catch a zit) we
attached the head to the handheld device and proceeded to treat the affected
area for a one-day treatment cycle. The daily treatment cycle consists of 3-minutes
in the morning and 3-minutes before bed. Bye-bye zit! Understanding that our
acne issue was one spot, we wouldn’t expect quick results for more severe acne
issues.
Moving on to the Purple
Anti-aging light treatment head, which requires 20-minute treatment cycles, we
used the system for one week and noticed a marked difference in the fine lines
around our eyes. The Purple Anti-aging light treatment head was also highly
effective in reducing a sunspot on our cheek and increasing even skin tone! The
approximate price of reVive Anti-aging Light Therapy Handheld System is $169
versus the latest anti-aging laser gadget that costs approximately $565. The
laser is heavy, costly, inconvenient, and we don’t trust the long-term effects
of lasers versus innocuous LED light.
The last treatment to tackle was
the pain relief. Utilizing the Red Pain Relief light treatment head, we did a
14-minute treatment cycle on our wrist. The first use brought marked relief and
the second treatment offered complete alleviation of pain. As for reVive Light
Therapy systems there are so many reasons why it’s a win. Varying price points,
total effectiveness, convenience and mobility. As we stated, we’ve used other
at-home skincare treatment devices and they’re heavy, not practical for travel
and the prices are insane. So there you have it dear beautynistas and
suavenistas, -- TME’s experience, and gold seal approval, with reVive Light
Therapy systems.
