LED devices for home use

Hi Doc,
I have seen these at-home devices advertised on the Internet. I was wondering if the really have any effect at all...on acne, wrinkles etc? They claim to rebuild the skin.

Thanks,
Amber


hi amber
i wish i could tell you.
they don't give alot of specifications on the enrgy used, etc. if you can find that, i can compare it to the devices i use in the clinic - i have led light devices - and tell you how intense or non intense they are. my guess is that they are a weak version of the devices i have.
i can tell you more if i see the numbers.
in general, led devices work if used frequently. the effects are subtle, but not bad.
cheers,
