New to light therapy, and can only spend $50. Do people get results, or is this a fad? SAD in IL

I was skeptical myself. But for me, it's a god send!!! I Love it. And I only paid about 50 for mine. Be sure to get minimum 10,000 Lux!! Hope this helps!!

I like my light good wake up. This one is cheap. Mine arrive broke. So if you want to spend less the $50 but expect a cheap product then get this.

I did buy this and have used it next to me as I watch TV and right before I go to bed as I read for about 20 minutes.About the size of a deck of cards. I am not afflicted with SADs but I think it has help me. Maybe a Dr could prescribe a light for you and your insurance would cover it. I am not recomending this based on anything but my limited personal experiance.ope that helps

I DID use Lilash a couple of years ago, at the time I could afford it($150 per tube) lilash worked VERY well.I tried to make it last as long as I could.After you stop using it, your lashes fo back to the way they were.I also tried Revitalash($29.95)and it KIND OF works -your eyelashes are just a little thicker, a little tiny bit longer.I am going to try the 2 tubes of eyelash serum, here, as I see they have great reviews for very low priced item

I used some I bought from a big box store. Took two in morning and two at night. I didn't see any change, but I only used it about two weeks, then ran out. I think maybe my trial wasn't long enough or it is hype. Not sure which. Sorry.

Hi! I recently bought a lightstim acne light (the one pictured) it looks lavender because it is actually a combination on blue and red lights (blue to kill acne bac and red I think is for inflammation) this is an older model, which is why the lights featured on the lightstim website are different. I have been quite happy with this purchase: my skin has definitely improved (I've been using it once or twice a day for the last 3 weeks) my skin really dried out during the first week but then improved afterwards, seems I needed to get acclimated. Hope this helps

try $48 from www.garyfong.com, much more expensive. However the garyfong product works extremely well with small loss of light.

You should definitely try this. Wait a month and you'll say something like "I don't think this is working" and then literally BAM! Lashes begin to look significantly longer. You won't be wasting your money and it does work, very well.

It lightens over time, but I also use Rozege (sp) also found on Amazon...using both takes about three mos to see your skin even out and lighten..I am 63, people tell me I look 50...there you go! Good luck

It's certainly made the lighting in my videos better now, however I do plan on investing in a (Diva) ring light in the near future bc they pick up on the color pigment of makeup so well if you get a good enough quality one. For now, I am grateful for this little booger. Best wishes to you.

There's plenty of DIY solutions to try at home, from using a coffee filer to diffuse the light, or the clear top to a coffee tin. Those are free (as long as you drink coffee) and work great for at home only usage, but the second you think about taping a coffee filter to your flash in front of a client, even if it is your first one, you should really be considering spending that $15.

My opinion, yes. I mean they are kind of cheap. Definitely for the benefits they bring their at a amazing price. I started back taking them and this is my 5th week, I'm just now starting to see to results...I guess what I'm trying to say is their the cheapest so they probably take the longest to see results. Have to be patient and dedicated!

If you are new to the product, you should check out the truehope website first. If I recall, you should start with a "loading dose" that is far higher, for several months, than the "maintenance dose" that people settle down to once their symptoms improve AND they have made changes (almost always lower - under doctor's supervision of course) in their prescription meds. These are no minor details if you or a loved one are suffering from a mental health condition. I would not experiment with this on my own. The web site offers phone and internet counseling to help, and I believe that is part of the higher price charged by them for the same stuff when you order it off their website...hope that helps you and anyone else reading this!

Thanks for your message. Blue LED photon is used for clam the skin. We suggest have the blue light treatment 10 minutes each day. Thank you Project E Beauty Patrick

I don't know, but I don't know why not. Perhaps you should research low level laser light therapy. One of the things you may want to think about though is that it is rather time consuming. You hold it on a particular area for two or three minutes and then move to the next area an inch away, at least that's my understanding. So, it takes patience.

If you find out, please post. I tried chatting with someone at Philips instead of calling and he only pointed me to this quote at http://www.sadlightshop.com/lighttherapy/philips-golite-blu/ "Bluewave: Advanced blue LED technology Philips HF3330 Golite BLU provides the specific spectrum of light our bodies respond to. Advanced diffusion optics and less intense than 10,000-lux white light provide a soft, even light while the wider treatment field for flexibility. " Not official Philips info nor can I figure out whether it's &lt;=&gt; 10,000 LUX based on the wording. I'll give them a call next week when I can but it sounds to me as if they deliberately have left out this information for a reason, perhaps to avoid being classified as a medical device (?). I really don't know but it is suspicious and I want to be assured the time and money I invest in this treatment is worth it and not just a placebo effect.

My understanding is that the therapeutic benefit is usually found by being at the appropriate distance to receive 10,000 lux (measure of brightness or lumosity) for 20 to 30 minutes per day. However, if you are sitting further away, and thus only getting maybe 5,000 lux, the recommendation is to increase time of exposure to compensate. I have left a high-powered therapy lamp on all day in my office (I am at my desk on and off -- sometimes for hours on end), and suffered no ill effects. I had it positioned correctly (shining down on me) but I placed it about two to two and a half feet away. These are bright lights, and mine provided a lot of illumination for the room. It also provided a LOT of illumination in my work area, which made it easier to work. I had this setup all last winter, and I felt more energized and greater cognitive clarity and focus after I began using it. (I was not depressed when I started using it.)

I have major depression and when I use the light I feel better within 10 minutes. I feel it helps this and it gives me good energy. I would not use it more than 45 minutes at one time nor after 2-3 in the afternoon, it may keep you from sleeping well.

My guess is to try it and see if you get results...previous suggestion is to keep it in the box away from direct light
