LED light treatment

Dear Dr. Rivkin,

What is your opinion of LED light therapy to reduce signs of aging? Do you think it's possible products for home use (such as the Baby Quasar) are actually effective?

Thanks,


hi,
i have LED light at my practice and i think that it is an effective antiaging treatment. blue light is certainly effective for acne. i only know about the in-office light treatments, though. i'm not sure about the at home treatments. are they any stronger than a flashlight? i don't know. i don't have alot of patients who use them, although i do have people who use at home microdermabrasion, and that seems to help.
