Suzie Franz says
Thank you for the valuable info! I have the NuFACE light attachment. How does that stack up?
Meital James says
Haven’t reviewed it yet. Why don’t you tell us? :)
Zen says
If I buy a hand held Red LED w/ Infrared light, would I also be able to safely use it on my scalp to stimulate hair growth around my temples?
Or is the light needed for hair growth a different wavelength, then say the light found in the Baby Quasar Pur Rayz.
Meital James says
It’s the same wavelength, but it’s going to be hard work holding it and using it on each side of your scalp every day. Check out my post about regrowing hair with red light therapy here: https://www.infrared-light-therapy.com/red-light-therapy-hair-loss/
Jennifer Yu says
is it possible if we use the LED in our face then it could stimulate the facial hair growth too? i think i read in a forum where they use the LED in conjunction with dermarolling and found more facial hair
Meital James says
To my knowledge, red light therapy can not grow new hair on your face, where hair hasn’t been before. I use a LED light mask for months and no hair has grown on my face.
Nick says
Can you put serums while using red light therapy?
Meital James says
You can, but only after treatments.
Nick says
Can i use this daily? Or there should be spacing?
Meital James says
It is better to allow a few days for the skin to “relax” – every week. I never use more than 4-5 days a week.
Dyanne says
Please review Perfectio Plus and Elevare Plus. Thanks :)
Meital James says
I’ll try to get to that soon…:)
lyn says
should i be wary if it is not cleared by FDA?
Meital James says
Which one are you referring to?
Lyn says
project e mask
Meital James says
I have it at home and use it for months. To me it seems well made and high quality. Many red LED light devices are not cleared by the FDA, but the general technology is cleared for skin anti aging.
Lynette Benda says
Thank you so much.
Carolina says
Is this the same mask that it was today in the Doctors TV show?
Meital James says
I haven’t seen the show, you can send me the link for the show if it’s online, and I’ll check.
Vineeta Rajeev says
It’s not FDA cleared. Does that make it any less safer.
Also you have commented having tried Acura 7+1.
Did you use it at a different time.
If you were to buy for someone you live which one would you choose of the 2.
Meital James says
Which device are you referring to when you say it’s not FDA cleared?
As for the other mask, you mean I tried the Aduro 7+1, not the Acura and I used it after the Project E mask. It’s what I use now and I’m satisfied with it. At this point I would recommend the Aduro a bit more than the Project E, but it’s much more expensive. I hope this helps.
Merry Prewitt says
I would not be concerned by FDA approval! There are many wonderful things we use everyday that are not FDA approved. The FDA allows a great number of insects in canned, dried, and frozen foods. They also allow a percentage of arsenic and alloys in food and drugs. I do not put a lot of faith in the FDA “approvals”.
Cobina says
I have the Sirius Aurora Light Therapy one, can the red light touch my skin (face) or away from it? May I use it on daily basis or every other day? May I put aloe Vera after the use?
Meital James says
Yes, you can touch your face with your specific device, I’m sure the instructions say that clearly. You can use every day but no more than 5 times a week, to allow tour skin to regenerate. And yes, of course you can Aloe Vera or any other product after your red LED light therapy treatment.
Cobina says
Thank you so much for the information.
I have another question. Would I be able to use the anti pigment light also, after using the anti wrinkle light?
I’m using the red every other day, in between would I be able to use the other ones? I’m sorry I don’t have instructions with my box that’s why I’m asking
Thank you in advance
Meital James says
You can use the green light right after you’re done with the red light – but for less time. 10 minutes can be enough.
Cobina says
Thank you for your help.
Would I be able to use the green led light in between the days I don’t use the red led one?
Meital James says
Yes, you can. But make sure to listen to your body. Good luck!
Maureen Robson says
Would red light therapy be any good for the thin skin on my arms and cappillieries that keep bursting?
Meital James says
Yes, it may help. Definitely worth a try. It increases blood circulation in the area. Good luck!
