From what I learned from my year of trial and error with all of this is that if you use a topical before the treatment, this will probably work best..

- Keep it thin and serumy
- Nothing with occlusive oils (A few drops of Avocado Oil mixed into a watery homemade serum has worked nicely lately)
- Nothing specifically used for barrier repair (you don't want anything to interfere with the light penetrating... Save the barrier repairs for your before bed routine)
- Allow whatever you apply to fully absorb for about 30 minutes before using the LED. (This is especially the case with any vitamin c, since light can degrade it... Once it has absorbed, your good to go.

The most important thing I can share, that I keep repeating over and over, is to exfoliate prior to every single treatment with a microfiber cloth..

I hesitated to share any more of my opinions regarding LED's because it seems to always wind up getting me in the middle of a bruhaha.. Rolling Eyes

I am doing this now, because I've had a lot of requests lately, to "please share" again what I do that has worked. I am giving it one more try, because I honest to God believe in these bloody LED's, and I am still getting great results.

If you guys have any more questions, I'll do my best to answer them. More than anything, I would love you all to have the same success I've experienced over the last year. I've learned much!

Glad to see you posting, Kassy. Until you made your recommendations for me, I was just using my Lightstim any time of day, but now I use it in the evening after cleansing/exfoliation/serum, and my skin seems to love it.

I hadn't thought about not using it after barrier repair.

I've stepped up my attack on pigmentation on my hands and arms, and I'm using Lightstim there as well.

Thanks so much everyone and especially Kassy for her expertise. It was your posts Kassy that prompted me to purchase the LighStim and I am hoping for nothing less than a refreshed, plumped look Smile

to alleviate the stress of this last year.

I received my LightStim yesterday after ordering at the end of the business day on Friday. I spoke with Joanie very briefly as she was on hold with someone; but Steve called me back very promptly and he was quick to answer any questions and got my order processed.

And of course I used it straight away. First I took photos though so I can post some fabulous before and afters Wink

. I exfoliated with warm/hot water and a microfiber cloth then used the only serum I had which was the Olay Regenerist Day Serum (great ingredients I gotta say) and I sat there watching/listening to TV after my little one went down and just relaxed. I had ordered some Obagi C serum which hasn't come in yet darn it. I'll utilize that with the LightStim when it gets here.

I applied my Avage (retin A) afterwards. So nothing noticeable yet of course; but I'll keep at it and let you all know.

Thanks again for all your wonderful advice.
