Hey, I am new here and have been watching over this forum for a long time. I want to try light therapy for both acne and anti ageing. Would somethink cheap off ebay (hong kong) be effective or would i need somethink like baby quaser power pack. I'm unable to post a link as to what i mean.

Thanks

Hi Bmc2727

To be honest, I would be hesitant to use a LED lamp from a dubious manufacturer.

I've read some posts by a medical doctor who claimed LED lights can cause damage to your skin and eyes, if the devices are not properly constructed.

See below a thread from a rosacea support website. Dr. P.Crouch is a medical doctor, specializing in Rosacea skin disorder:

(I can't link to other websites as I am a new member. Just type out the address of the link, adding 'www'.)

I would go for a FDA approved device. Better safe than sorry.

Hth,
