How often can we do a LED light therapy session ? Should the light therapy be used same day as microdermabrasion?

I use the light therapy a few hours after the microdermabrasion treatment. The skin tends to be super tender immediately following the microdermabrasion

I cannot answer that because mine did not come with the led lights, just the microdermabrasion machine I did however get one separately and I believe you could do it daily if you wanted to, as it does not take anything off of your skin I use mine the at the same time. Hope it

It doesn't hurt anything at all. I do it all the time. I also use the light about 4 times per week. 1-3 hours at a time

UV light is for nail drying. LED light is for the timer. I thought you misread the description. You need to do two times to get nail dried. I got headache from the UV light, therefore, I am not using it very much. It is quite big and heavy. It has excessive room for one hand but is tight for both hands in.

While the lamp is designed for one user, it does have a large field of illumination. The lux level drops off as you move away from the center of the field (lamp), so 2 users who are close together might not receive 10,000 LUX, but a lower level of light. In that case, as long as they are getting at least 2,500 LUX to both eyes, there will be a therapeutic benefit, but the treatment time would need to be longer. For clarification, 2,500 LUX is the lowest level of light and 10,000 LUX is the maximum that have been tested in clinical studies. The relationship between LUX level and treatment time is linear - 10,000 LUX for 30 minutes, 5,000 LUX for 60 minutes and 2,500 LUX for 120 minutes. Of course, these are general guidelines and each user may have different responses to the light, so times will still vary. Always consult your physician before starting any light therapy program to ensure it is an appropriate option for you.

I think that depends upon your skin. However, remember you are resting so it is an ideal time for a moisturizer or treatment of some sort to work on your skin. I use a moisturizer in the evening.

Hi, again! I did an application this weekend and left it on longer since my skin has so well tolerated the prior applications. The results were more noticeable and my darkest dark spot is much lighter. I think it's safe to say that in another couple of applications it won't be visible anymore. I did leave it on a bit too long this time so to prevent blistering I really do still recommend gradually increasing the time to minimize risk of any injury to your skin, per the instructions. Good luck! I think we have a solution. I hope it works well for you, but we're all different so it's hard to say. Take care. Hi, again!

Yes, use regular procedures for application, LED light cures faster than UV light tho, if you cure for too long, they will "pop" off, or "wrinkle"

If you are doing one on say mon and the other on saturday I don't see why not...I often use Microdermabrasion twice in a week if I am getting ready for something special say a date or event for the next week...the directions say you can use daily but my skin response best to once a week and since the product is not inexpensive that is the way I choose to use it. My best advice is to try it when you don't have something coming up and see how yr skin reacts because we are all very different some of us are more sensitive than others.

You should really ask your surgeon I used it one week later. Just a drop and gently apply. Has sunscreen to prevent darkness

It's for lightening dark spots, you don't put it all over your face, just where the dark spots are. A little goes a long way. I got it from a skincare ska where I was getting microdermabrasion the first time but it was just about half the price from amazon. It works but you have to be diligent about it.

Well, that depends on the results you want and the severity/darkness of your melasma of your face and how quickly you want it gone, and how much you to spend. The cream the doctor applied on my face erased the dark spots overnights but it also required me to stay home for few days, because my face was literally burned, it was scary to even look at myself in the mirror, no question you need downtime. This cream however is intended for maintenance, meaning you need to reply it more often (three times a day) every day for weeks with very good cleaning routine, no down time, no burning, at the end no dramatic result right away. My melasma keep coming back at my cheeks but no longer as strong dark patches as before, so in way it is manageable with cream, but I also take a combination of vitamins and supplements that I belief it is helping the minimizing the severity of it. I also exfoliate and do weekly glycol lactic mask, as well as lactic gel peel on top of my daily soy exfoliation routine. I don't remember the name of the first cream because I never bought it separately, the doctor applied it on my face, and I don't recommend you do it yourself even if you find it online. That treatment was in March 2012.

Hi Cheryl, according to the instructions, when you you are doing the first round of treatment with pulsating light, you run it over your skin in circular upward motion. In second round of treatment with constant light, you use the glide, lift and hold technique.

I use my regular cleanser before (and after) the microdermabrasion. Make sure skin is dry before you use the machine. After treatment I use a soothing masque for 15-20 minutes, rinse before applying a rich replenishing moisturizer. I prefer using microdermabrasion in evening so skin has time to rest and absorb the rich moisturizer. Skin usually looks beautiful the next morning!

Yes you can as long as the product is able to cure with LED. You can use timers based on the product specs

It depends on what you're using it for. I use it as a spot treatment, nightly, whenever I feel a spot coming on until it's gone - which is usually just a couple of days. Some people use it as moisturizer or as a cleansing oil, which requires daily use - up to twice per day.

According to the box the product arrived in you can use either a LED or UV light..."Curing times and results vary due to LED or UV lighting systems: LED / UV Cure Time: 30 Sec. - 1 MIN. / 2-4 MIN. Per Cure". I also use a LED light, LED base & top coat with no real issues.

I would recommend only using during the night .. It may be too heavy for normal skin during the day
