| Okay, so I purchased a handheld eBay LED device a few years back. One that emits red/blue/green light. The device has given me results (glowing complexion, brighter skin, etc), so I have NO doubt that LEDs improve skins condition. But one thing that I had a problem with was the amount of time it takes to do my whole face with this little device that I have. I was on eBay yesterday, and was looking for a bigger unit, something that had panels instead of a small circle. I wanted something that I could sit in front of, and have my whole face treated at once. So I looked at the DPL LED system, but the price was over 400 dollars, and that I CANNOT afford right now. So I had an idea. I searched LED grow lights. I've heard of people using LEDs to improve the growth of their plants. Well I found a unit that is 12" x 12", with 225 red LEDs (630-650nm). To me, it seems that it's JUST as effective as my hand held device, or any other LED device emitting visible red light spectrum. One thing I wanted was a device that also emitted infrared light, but I was willing to sacrifice that. I'm only in my 20's, so I believe that red light will take care of my problems (dull skin, broken caps on bridge of nose, etc). I don't have many wrinkles, YET. Anyways, I don't believe I am allowed to post eBay links (search "LED grow light" on eBay if you want to look), but I was just wondering if you guys think this panel will be effective? I am just so excited because now I can sit in front of it, and have my whole face treated in about 10-15 minutes, instead of having to move the applicator to different spots on my face. The unit only cost 32 dollars, and it comes Friday. I also purchased online tanning bed goggles for my eyes, even though I heard that if you close your eyes, it'll be okay. Anyways, when I get the unit, and give it a try, I'll let you guys know how it went, I was just wondering if anyone else has gone down this route. It's the same technology as the more expensive LED units, but because it's advertised to grow plants and not for cosmetic use, it's CHEAPER! Sorry for the long write up, but just wanted to share! Maybe those who are looking for a more inexpensive unit can go this route! Good day everyone! |

| yup I think so too. I dont think LEDs cost that much. You can actually make your own for so much cheaper. I read the best wavelength for red is 670nm. Blue for acne is 415nm. |
