Red Light: Skincare MIRACLE or Myth? (Dermatologist)

I’ve been using the Omniluxe mask on my face and neck for almost 2 years. It definitely works. But I purchased it knowing this is a long term game. That being said, I initially noticed results in a few months. And it is game changing for the neck area.

[@pjt3887]

I use it with vitamin C or other skin serums or oils for your face. I found it really helped to penetrate the skin.

[@naomihu9399]

@@pjt3887can you do that after applying vitamin C or retinol?

[@LJ-ub6bi]

​@naomihu9399 maysama green rooibos pressed serum has retinol and other ingredients. Its sold along with red lights. I bought a mitored light and it had a kit with the serum and the light. I may branch out to a cheaper serum,but figured I'd try this first.

[@jenniferpollard4466]

It works !!!

[@wquinonez1477]

True LED requires clean dry skin so the light can interact with the skin to create the changes. Serums aren’t used with true LED. Lightwave has developed a modality that is used in conjunction with specific products (ABI Dermaceuticals) that creates for the larger molecules to fold in on themselves so they can pass through the skin surface into the lower layers. Many ingredients have a Dalton size above 500/600 which means they can’t penetrate but sit on the skin. That’s ok for protective products. Treatment products to require absorption. LED can help with absorption. But unless the light has the Tooical Light Infusion modality, it should be used on clean skin - no serums. Serums are to be applied after. Be sure to apply a good antioxidant afterwards because ROS Reactive Oxidative Species (free radicals) are created and should be neutralized.

[@Lil-Be]

I've been using the Omnilux mask for two years, and my skin looks really good at 46. I maintain a very healthy lifestyle and follow a great skincare routine, so I'm not entirely sure how the mask contributes to my skin. However, even if it doesn't have a direct effect, I find it very relaxing to use, which at least benefits my nervous system. I use it every morning. Good skin results from a combination of factors, including adequate sleep, regular exercise, healthy eating habits, and effective stress management. It's a holistic approach, in my opinion.

[@Daniel-p4l6g]

Let’s be honest, setting aside time for red light therapy every single day isn’t exactly easy. But, for the sake of science (and my stubborn headache), I gave it a shot using the FF 1000 from Future Form Official. And, I hate to admit it, but it worked! After dealing with an unshakable headache for three long years, a few weeks of consistent use actually made it disappear. I started this whole thing to improve my brain health and cognitive function, using it for 20 minutes a day on my face, neck, and chest. And while I’m still not thrilled about making it part of my daily routine, I can’t deny the results. My skin’s glowing, my head’s clearer, and I’m starting to think this might just be worth the hassle. So, if you can deal with the commitment, this therapy really delivers. Just don’t expect to squeeze it in between meetings!

So at 34 started Tretinoin, sunscreen, and considering red light. So far virtually ALL noticeable damage I've done has been reversed and beyond.

I’ve been using my Omnilux mask and I love it! My skin tone is so much more even, and my skin feels plump and tight. I use it every day and around 2-3 sessions each time. I want to stress that you MUST protect your results by using an SPF every day. Also if you have a crappy lifestyle (bad diet, poor sleep) no amount of topical face treatments will help until you fix that!

I've been using the Project Beauty silicone mask for about half a year. I swear to God I could've been more consistent in using it, but it does yield great results and I've used it a lot to earn that opinion. Skin gets noticeably more glowy and brighter, no lines although I'm already in my 30s. Acne scars and skin tone have improved too. I do wish it does tighten my neck a little bit more since losing weight makes it look quite saggy. The thing about LED mask, just as does tretinoin, is that it needs time and consistency. It's a long game, but will be worth it at the end.

I started with an Aduro mask, and when that gave up the ghost last November I purchased a Mojia mask. It has similar specs to the Omnilux (is Red LED and NIR) but a much more reasonable price point. I've used them consistently 4-5 times a week for the past 7 years and I do believe it helps my skin look fresh, plump and much younger than my age. I have never had any cosmetic procedures or treatments professionally.

If light doesn't have effect on our skin, we wouldn't be able to make vitamin D from uvb exposure during midday. This fact alone should be a think piece for us to discover that all lights at any wavelength will have effect on skin, and overall, health. Yet, most dermatologists want us to avoid the sun. One of the reasons people get cancer is due to sun avoidance lifestyle (low vitamin D. VitD pills =/= sun). IR and NIR are also available from sunrise.

[@romannavratilid]

also plant growers, in greenhouses etc. use differently colored led lights (different light spectrum) to affect plants in different way during different parts of their "life", you can get more leaves this way, bigger fruit, more yield etc... so it works and does something to plants, it would be naive to think it does NOTHING to humans

I found out that if I control my exposure, I respond favorably to UV. During the winter, it improves my feeling of "well being." I'm 61, and have made many changes, all beneficial. I make every effort to remain sugar-free, no artificial sweeteners either, I eat whole foods only, I don't smoke tobacco, and I do fasting daily. This week has been OMAD, and then on my days off from work starting tomorrow evening, I will do a 3 day fast.

Did you mean to refer to this 2007 study instead?: "A prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded, and split-face clinical study on LED phototherapy for skin rejuvenation: clinical, profilometric, histologic, ultrastructural, and biochemical evaluations and comparison of three different treatment settings"

I have the solawave and use it for 15-20 mins 5x per/wk for every 3 in 4 wks. I’m very happy the results.

Loving this first video I happened upon - you are such an authentic spirit, someone I'd hope to be friends with if that were possible!

I can’t stand Dr. Shah (Doctorly) who is always doing unethical sponsorships. Honestly boils my blood. THANK YOU for your commitment to giving people information with integrity.

[@anshusingh7320]

Wow. Thanks for the detailed specs! Much appreciated 😊👍

In my 40s I had cellulite.. and fibromyalgia for which I purchased an Infrared vibrating massager which I use every night to ease pain.. which it does.. as a bonus , at 64 I don't have cellulite.. a few years I started using a Red led face toner & mask.. . Can't tell if it turned back time but its definitely slowed it down.. I'm taken for 10 years younger than I am.. which for someone with chronic pain isn't bad.. but I do have good genes as well..

[@helenapong2702]

Really appreciate your honest and informational review on red light. I feel that I have dark spots after using red lights, could you tell us more abt that too?

[@AlisaKight]

Awesome doctor! not to mention you have sense of humor I love watching your Chanel for skincare knowledge. Thank you so much🙏

[@smushface3999]

FWIW, I noticed an improvement in my skin within the first 1-2 days with a solawave. I watched videos and looked at media articles that had before and afters good enough for me to be willing to buy it on sale.

Continue to enjoy your content. Keep up the hard work doc!

Thanks man!

Listening to this video while sitting in front of my Platinum LED Bio Max Pro (panel). 😊

[@redmoon5287]

Also these before after pics are such bullshit because YES the lght source is so different and angles too! So glad you are pointing out the obvious.

[@usamasyed]

Drives me crazy!

[@redmoon5287]

@@usamasyed me too! How can some people fall for this?

I've been using the OmniLux mask and neck devices for almost a year now (10 minutes a day, five days a week) and have not seen any difference what-so-ever. I thought it was because I'm 49 years old, but I've seen other women on KZbin who are much older, and they say it worked for them. Unfortunately, I think the only thing that really works in reversing age is plastic surgery, which I won't do.

[@cathydavies3526]

Might be you're slowing down your ageing.. at 50 I looked about 45.. started using red light devices.. didn't really see any difference.. but carried on as I liked it.. at 64 I'm ALWAYS taken to be in my early 50s..

[@elettramia6380]

It says online you should take before and after pictures to really notice the difference as it can be hard to tell just by looking at your face and seeing no difference because you are use to how your face looks

[@rhonda6791]

Is it possible to get discolouration from using led? I’ve stopped using my panel because I saw a few blotches on my cheek. I never had this before. Also I use sunblock every day and am hardly ever in the sun. What’s happening? Is led not for me?

[@forkafka99]

Try 20 to 30 minutes and see if you noticed improvement then !

[@Ameliaxamir]

Hi i would love to see content about repairing the skin barrier

[@aichaa444]

Great video! Love your clear scientific explanations and humour!

[@usamasyed]

Thank you!

[@texasgirlhowdy]

First time watching you and it’s an instant sub. I appreciate your honesty. I’ve had great results from using my omnilux but I’m not consistent with it. I will get back at it now. Happy New Year!
