Just a curiosity really, for those who like to see which LED products are out there.. "the combination of amber, red and infrared LED lights with 5 different wavelengths from 605-880nm." They also have an acne version. £199/$299.

The device looks slightly similar to the AALS (albeit in black, with less diodes). It has a temperature sensor which switches it off when it reaches 40°C, that's a new one on me 
They recommend you split the face into 3 "zones". The LED is used on each zone for 5 minutes at a time, it has an in-built timer. Total treatment time: 15 minutes.
It has two settings: Normal and Strong. There's no mention of an AC Adaptor, so I'd assume it's a battery operated unit. They offer a 90 day guarantee; "results in 60 days". The cod-English they use on their site is a bit off-putting! |

Their website and blog does provide a lot of information about different things for anti-aging.
The biggest issue I have with the LED devices, not specifically this one or any other one, is that there is some over excited reviews on here (even some sounding sales pitchy)...but when you look at everything else that people say they are using in addition to the led devices (e.g. Retin-A, Green Tea Creams, Vitamin C cream, etc.) how does anyone know that the led is the reason for the results they claim they get specifically from the LED.
If these individuals would totally drop every other item they use on their skin, except for cleanser of course, for 60-90 days and only use their led device and then have before and after pictures with NO makeup...and then come back and post their results...I think we might see less overly excited/sales pitchy reviews then. |

I know what you mean, when people overly gush about a product (especially appearing with new profiles, praising something to the skies with their first post) it does put me off somewhat.
My AALS was second-hand from ebay UK, I don't think I'd have paid full price (the seller even included the original Lightstim invoice; including Customs duties it was around £250); I got it for about £90 nearly 2 years ago.
Have I seen a difference with my skin texture? No. I had mild to moderate acne, and used benzoyl peroxide on and off, and other very harsh acne treatments and they badly affected it. Trying to fix my skin with TCA peels at the moment. Considering laser/RF treatments (Accent Pixel was recommended to me by a derm, but haven't read anything positive about it online).
I've read benzoyl peroxide can accelerate skin aging, but it's hard to pinpoint what contributed to my skin's decline during adolescence.
All I can say the AALS does for me is give me brightness and softness. I'm lucky enough not to have visible wrinkles yet, though.
I even used the AALS nearly every day for weeks on my surgery scars (Neosoporin afterwards) and one scar still turned hypertrophic. I'm no expert on scars/LED use, though. |

Around the holidays I got an email from one of the company's that make a popular LED device and they were talking about all the miraculous things it does and they had some before and after pictures....and as with a lot of companies that use before and after pictures to sale their products these pictures had different lighting on the after pictures to make the people look better...and then their was a tinge of makeup in the after pictures but not the before pictures.
If these companies really believe in their product then take the time to take pictures where the lighting is the same and the makeup is the same in the before and after....it is not that hard to do those two simple things. |
