The Power of L.E.D. Red. Amber & Blue Light Therapy


You've likely read about the amazing benefits of non-invasive L.E.D. Light Therapy in Hollywood Beauty Secrets: Remedies to the Rescue by author, celebrity body parts model and Hollywood's Beauty Correspondent, Louisa Maccan-Graves. "I predict that red L.E.D Light Therapy will soon become a household word as many studies reveal that L.E.D. (Light Emitting Diodes) combined with infrared light promotes collagen stimulation within 24 hours of exposure. It also has anti-inflammatory benefits which can help reduce pain, inflammation and reduce redness of rosacea. For rejuvenation, use the hand-held LightStim™ Red and Amber L.E.D. unit three times weekly for 3 minutes per area. The 2-panel unit should be used a total of 9 minutes once to twice daily for anti-aging and for pain relief, use the 2-panel light 30-45 minutes per area each day. The LightStim Blue Acne Light can be used 15 minutes per area three times weekly. Daily use of sun protection and exfoliating the skin twice weekly can help age-proof your skin " says Louisa.


LightStim™Blue Light Therapy For Acne


Blue Light Therapy which consists of blue light wavelengths beneficial to those who are acne or blemish-prone. Studies reveal that blue lights emit wavelengths that help destroy bacteria that cause acne and blemishes. Blue Light is a safe and cost-effective option for those who cannot tolerate prescription drugs like Acutane®.


Quality Light Therapy Units


The L.E.D. Red & Amber Light Therapy Home Units (anti-Aging and anti-inflammatory benefits) and the Blue Light Therapy Home Unit (Acne & Blemishes) referred to in the Hollywood Beauty Secrets book and on this site are manufactured by two highly reputable companies. Both the L.E.D. Red & Amber Anti-Aging Lights and Blue Light units are now available to HBS readers at the lowest prices and are some of the most powerful home units on the market. Many home units are battery powered, which typically, battery driven units are not as powerful as plug-in units. These units are wall powered.


Studies on Light Therapy


You may have recently read about L.E.D. Light Therapy in a recent issue of Elle Magazine, boasting the anti-aging and anti-inflammatory benefits. Their studies revealed that exposing the skin to red L.E.D. lights for a little under 20 minutes can plump skin, smooth wrinkles and fine lines. Another study revealed that exposure to L.E.D. red and amber lights for approx. 3 minutes per area can promote collagen stimulation by 200% within a 24 hour period! L.E.D'.s can also help diminish the redness of rosacea after just a few uses as well as calm inflammation and pain. Because L.E.D.'s reduce inflammation, they are a safe and effective method of reducing pain. The home unit which was mentioned in magazine article used red & amber diodes and retailed for $2,495.00. Check out the LightStim™ red and amber LED light on this site retail priced at under $329.00. And receive an additional discount price when you call 310-670-2344 and mention code #1958
The red, amber & red and blue home units we’ve uncovered and offer at this site cost less than the cost of one I.PL. Photofacial or one series of Botox ® injections.


L.E.D. Light Facts


The LED (Light Emitting Diode) Home Units we’ve displayed on the site can help deliver powerful wavelengths of light to the skin surface, stimulating an increase of certain cellular functions at the dermal level that result in a healthier, more youthful skin.
Light Therapy provides painless, safe and effective results. People of all ages can safely use the Led Light Therapy Home Unit for all skin types. Minimize scarring and speed up post surgical healing, help quickly heal scrapes, cuts and wounds. Burns heal faster and better, painful joints and arthritis pain improves and best of all LED Light Therapy can help keep skin looking hydrated, even in tone and more youthful.


The Power of Light Therapy


For those of us who are not convinced that light can have a physical effect on our bodies, think of a sun tan. With the correct wavelength of light, melanin is generated in our skin to produce a tan. Without sunlight, our bodies can't produce Vitamin D. Without a minimal amount of sunlight, many people suffer from SAD or Seasonal Affective Disorder, a depression cured by exposure to light. Premature babies with a jaundice condition are treated with light until their livers are mature enough to take over. So you see, different types of light energy affects us every day in many ways.
Research shows that specific wavelengths (colors) stimulate specific responses in the body. Red wavelengths and certain infrared (not visible) wavelengths will increase cellular activity at the dermal level. As we age, there is a drop in cellular activity and energy levels. With the delivery of the correct wavelengths of LED light, these dermal cells receive a rejuvenating, anti-aging boost from the light energy. Light stimulation also increases blood flow, helping bring nutrients and cellular growth factors to the treated areas. Red and infrared light stimulate fibroblast and collagen production to strengthen sagging, wrinkled skin. The lymph vessels open and drain more efficiently to remove toxic waste and promote a healthier looking skin. The skin heals quicker, and with less post surgical or post trauma scarring. LED therapy is safe for all skin types and ages. There is no down time or recovery time. LED Light Therapy has been used by NASA, the US Army and athletes for quick healing. And it is quickly becoming known as one of the most effective and non-invasive ways to help rejuvenate and repair the skin.


How to Use the L.E.D. Units


To use the hand-held L.E.D Red & Amber Light unit, simply hold directly against freshly washed, exfoliated skin for a minimum of three minutes in each area to be treated. To use the 2-panel LED unit place face in front of the lights or remove the panels from the stand and rest the panel of lights directly on the skin for 9 minutes for anti-aging. Keeping eyes closed. For pain or inflammation reduction apply either unit onto area for 30 minutes or more. Exfoliation allows the light to better penetrate. See "How do I prepare my skin" in the Frequently Asked Questions section below.


2-Panel LED Unit For Joint, Muscle Aches & Pain


For joint and muscle aches and pains, the 2-panel LED Light Therapy Home Unit will increase blood flow to the treated areas. Increased blood flow will reduce pain and swelling in these areas. Treatment times are longer for these conditions and should be for a minimum of 30 minutes per site. When you use JS Muscle and Joint Care Pain Rub along with the LED light, quick results have been noted. See the JS Muscle & Joint Care Pain Rub on this site at www.hollywoodbeautysecrets.com. It does not have a medicinal odor and it costs less than $25 for a 4 oz. jar. I use it and so does my hubby as well as dozens of my readers.


Hand-Held LightStim™ Blue Light Therapy for Acne


Acne conditions can be successfully treated using Blue Light Therapy wavelengths. The color blue creates a biochemical reaction in the bacteria responsible for the acne condition that causes the bacteria to self destruct. This safe and painless procedure is extremely effective for acne skin. Lightstim™ Acne LED Light manufacturer suggests treatment for a minimum of 15 minutes per site, three times a week for three to eight weeks.


FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS


How do I prepare my skin? For results, use the unit on clean skin only. We suggest cleansing the skin in the evening and using the unit while watching TV, relaxing or before retiring to bed. Cleanse and exfoliate skin before use as exfoliating (sloughing) skin helps the light to penetrate deeper into the skin. Exfoliate skin only twice weekly.

If you have normal, dry, mature or oily skin that is not sensitive, try one of the following easy mechanical exfoliating tips. Use these recipes at your own risk or ask your dermatologist if you have any skin care concerns:

  • Cleanse the areas you wish to treat (face, hands, neck, back or joints). On wet, clean skin area apply a small amount of baking soda and rub in a light circular motion to exfoliate dull, dead skin. Then rinse and dry.
  • Or try the microdermabrasion scrub we recommend at www.hollywoodbeautysecrets.com .
  • Or try a mild exfoliating mask like the papaya enzyme recipe found in the Hollywood Beauty Secrets book. NOTE: If you have sensitive skin or rosacea check with your health care professional before using these recipes.

If you have rosacea, do not use baking soda or scrubs on the skin as this can exacerbate rosacea. Try dipping a cotton ball saturated with milk and dab onto the face. Or wash with a liquid cleanser that contains salicylic or glycolic acid to help remove dull, dead skin. Try Neutrogena Acne Wash as it contains salicylic acid (found at the drug store) or the glycolic cleanser offered at www.hollywoodbeautysecrets.com.

How long do I hold the unit on each area? For anti-aging and skin repair, apply the hand-held LightStim Anti-aging LED Unit directly on each area for three minutes a minimum of three times a week. You may safely use the unit daily if you have time. The 2-panel LED Unit for 9 minutes once to twice daily for anti-aging. For pain, healing and scar reduction, use the 2-panel LED unit 30 minutes per area and as frequently as possible. For Acne, use the Blue LightStim LED hand held unit three times a week for 15 minutes per area.

After treatment what do I use on my skin? Simply retire to bed with bare skin or apply your favorite antioxidant serum, such as High Potency Vitamin C Ester Serum, or an antioxidant-rich cream such as Aging Eraser or a peptide-rich cream such as Perfect RX or Relastyl. It is also beneficial to apply sun screen daily to protect your investment. For cleansers, moisturizers, serum, peptide creams or sun screen suggestions visit www.hollywoodbeautysecrets.com

For those with rosacea apply Pycnogenol Gel or Astazanthin & Pycnogenol Night Crème after treatment. You can find these products in a health food store or at hollywoodbeautysecrets.com These products can help fade pigmentation spots and redness.

For those with acne, apply the Acne & Scar Cream suggested on this site.Be sure to wear sun screen every morning to protect skin from further UV damage. See the list of highly effective sun screens listed in the HBS book. They're available in drug stores for about $10.

How long until I see results? Rosacea skin will calm down after about 6 treatments. Collagen production and anti-aging takes 3 to 4 weeks (12- 15 uses) before you see improvement in wrinkles. Pain and wounds heal quicker and faster with each treatment (use 30 minutes per area every day). Skin texture and tone improve from the first treatment. Pigmentation fades over the course of 15 or more treatments.

Can I treat longer than 3 minutes, or more than twice a week? For anti-aging the hand held Red & Amber LightStim™ unit can be used three minutes per area, three times a week to achieve results. You may use the unit every day if you wish, but three minutes per area is enough time. If you select the 2-panel system, it should be used once daily for 9 minutes for anti-aging and longer for pain reduction (30 to 45 minutes per area).

Is Light Therapy safe to use around my eyes? L.E.D.'s are very bright and therefore it is not advisable to look into the direct light. Keep the eyes closed during use around the eyes, but do not shine the light directly over the eyes. The light will not cause damage to the eye.

Is there any area I should not use the Light Therapy on? Cover the thyroid area for cautions sake with gauze or a towel when treating the neck. The thyroid is located under the "u" notch in the center of the collarbone. The thyroid is deep enough below the skin surface that it is not affected by light, but a cover is always advised particularly if you have thyroid concerns.

Are there any side effects or down time involved? No.

Will my skin dry out? No, in fact when you use the unit at night, your skin may lightly peel by morning. Many individuals do not experience peeling. The morning after treatment, lightly scrub away dull, dead skin with glycolic-based liquid cleanser or an exfoliating cleanser if you don’t have sensitive skin or rosacea. Then apply an antioxidant-rich lotion or serum, followed by sun screen. Or simply sun screen if you don't wear lotion. Within days of using the unit, you'll notice your skin becoming more hydrated, firm and smooth.

Does Light Therapy make age spots darker? Age spots do not get darker from LED Light Therapy treatments. The Anti-Aging Lightstim LED that combines Red and Amber diodes can help fade age spots even faster than Red LED’s. You may wish to use a depigmentation cream such as All-natural Skin Lighten or products containing hydroquinone to help speed lightening the areas. Pycnogenol gel is known to help fade pigmentation spots. Pycnogenol Gel can also help fade the redness associated with rosacea. These products can be found in health food stores or visit www.hollywoodbeautysecrets.com site. Again products are not necessary but with some individuals, can help speed results. Be sure to apply daily sun screen to help prevent further age spots and wrinkles.
