How well does this work for reducing PIH (scars/hyperpigmentation)? Can I disable the ultrasound feature and just use the LED lights?

I use it for aging skin but yes the ultrasound and the lights are seperate so so you can use one without the other

This is not ultrasound technology. This machine stings quite a bit so I stopped using it in my practice. This unit combines ems, rf and led light (although I think the led light has a minimal effect.). It mostly contracts muscles, and gets hot after about 15 minutes, but not hot enough for collagen contraction. They say it is like no needle mesotherapy. That's a stretch but it does plump the skin. By and large, I was unimpressed with this unit and it sits in my work drawer way in the back never to be used again.

Hi, I'm in the US so I just plug it into the regular wall socket to recharge. When I purchased the unit, I also bought Parker electrode gel, which works for the stainless steel parts to glide over the skin. Since then, I've done more reading, some people are happy just using water. I have lots of skin care products so I've used cleanser on my face with the first part, which is the negative (red light), then I've cleaned that off and put on some moisturizer and used the positive (blue light) roller. You always do the negative first and finish with the positive. Don't be afraid to experiment with the products you have and you can regulate the current up or down too. I've had it all the way to 10, depending on the product I will change the current up or down. Like a TENS unit, it does not shock, but stimulates. Good luck, hope this helps. I am glad I did not spend $100's of $ for the name brand.

This device is awesome. If you are using the device too harshly and/or in conjunction with retina-a or acutane it's going to leave the skin sensitive, which is probably the case with the last comment left by Dana.It's recommended that you start with the tips with the lightest grit and work up. Just read the directions and follow it, it's not hard. It only comes with the USA plug, but will easily fit into a converter for use around the world.

I honestly noticed a difference after several nights. I stopped having to use bc the dark circles went away but my boyfriend has been using it and he noticed a difference after the first night. it really works!

We use OPI for school, and it's great!!!!!!!!! ... LED is faster but UV can be used for both Gel and Axxium... whats 30 secs?! I rather have a UV light and cure it for 30 more secs than to pay for a LED light and a UV light, because LED won't cure Axxium, which is like the acrylic of gel!!

It works just like any other "lightening" or "brightening" product. It chemically reduces the appearances of hyper-pigmentation caused by acne scares or sun damage.

Please read on the bottom of the insert. It tells you that only 15 of the red lights are visible, but the other 18 lights are infrared. I just bought mine in March mainly for acne and hyperpigmentation. I am African American with acne scars & adult acne!! Yuck!!! I use it twice daily & I can already see a decrease in pore size, oil production and skin texture. I am pleased!!! I am also going to post this comment separately...

All I did was Google Verilux Happy Light Deluxe. This is a link to the whole instruction manual for owners, you can print out or save as a file to your computer. I've never worried about over- exposure, a half to one whole hour a day was what my doctor recommended to me depending on how I feel.http://www.apria.com/wps/wcm/connect/32889f71-cf9c-4909-9a28-e65a4167bd47/hme_phototherapy_Verilux+HappyLight+Deluxe_960happylight.pdf?MOD=AJPERES

Actually online aficionado......The new Samsung LED's are WORSE. It is mentioned in cnets reviews and some have left comments here on amazon. One guy mentioned how he can see streaks running through his new LED tv in a dark room. So yeah... LCD's only look good when the lights are on.My friend has a panasonic plasma that he games on a lot. NO BURN IT. There is temporary image retention but that goes away fast.

I dont know. Its never worked properly for me. It keeps telling me that my skin is too light to work

Not at all, if you you it one to two times a week you get a nice glow, I just went almost two weeks without using it and I still have a nice color! Definitely not like any drug store brands that are out there and believe me I've tried them all!

Sorry, I haven't used it in for those issues. I only know it to be soft and soothing to the skin and allow an slight extra boost to healing areas like scratches & dry skin. It is not specifically made to lighten dark spots. It is just a vitamin based moisturizing cream.

It do helps but the alpha hydrox spot light targeted skin lightener works better for acne dark spots

Help made the dark spot less dark, almost completely disappearing. Probably the spot will be gone for good if I buy more disks. Also, your skin look so clean and healthy. I really like it. As soon as you use it you will see a noticeable change in your skin.

When you turn the unit on all the lights come on and in several minutes the unit heats up. Therefore, you have no control over the lights and heat. Also, keep in mindthat an internal timer will shut the unit off after ten minutes. I have to put it on 3 times for a 30 minute session. I don't know what you are going to use this for, but it does helpif you have arthritis or some kind of pain. I have not used it for facial problems, but I have no doubt it will work. It's a nice unit, but remember. it's an LED, not a laser. A laser would work much, much better, but the cost will be much, much higher. I' rate this unit a 7 or 8 out of 10.Good luck and if you need more info, let me know.Russ Adams,Dr. R When you turn the unit on all the lights come on and in several minutes the unit heats up.

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"
