| I noticed that one of the tanning places where I live is advertising LED red light therapy beds. Has anyone used one of these before. I'm thinking about checking it out. Are there certain questions I should be asking? |

Abstract
Sunlight damages human skin, resulting in a wrinkled appearance. Since natural sunlight is polychromatic, its ultimate effects on the human skin are the result of not only the action of each wavelength separately, but also interactions among the many wavelengths, including UV, visible light, and infrared (IR). In direct sunlight, the temperature of human skin rises to about 40 degrees C following the conversion of absorbed IR into heat. So far, our knowledge of the effects of IR radiation or heat on skin aging is limited. Recent work demonstrates that IR and heat exposure each induces cutaneous angiogenesis and inflammatory cellular infiltration, disrupts the dermal extracellular matrix by inducing matrix metalloproteinases, and alters dermal structural proteins, thereby adding to premature skin aging. This review provides a summary of current research on the effects of IR radiation and heat on aging in human skin in vivo.Journal of Investigative Dermatology Symposium Proceedings (2009) 14, 15-19; doi:10.1038/jidsymp.2009.7.
It's not a good idea. I am biased, I spoke with my colleague, a nuclear physicist and cancer researcher about the use of light therapy for anti aging. His thoughts were quite negative about the use thereof. I will not be using nor suggesting the use of this method.
I do have a light device, used it exactly 2x, it is not ineffective for reducing redness. But the long term cumulative damage, isn't worth it. |

Thanks DragoN.
I'm not sure I understand all that research!
It sounds like I should not even be using my Lightstim.
Could you tell me what your daily routine is and the gadgets you use?
Thanks again. |
