LED Therapy FAQ
How often and how long should I use the DPL Device?
The DPL™ Device is designed to run for nine (9) minutes per treatment. We recommend taking a maximum of two (2) DPL™ treatments daily for the first month and then two treatments per week after that. If you miss a treatment, don’t worry, just extend the daily treatments for the lost days.
How long until I see results?
Everyone’s skin varies, but most people feel and see a difference in about four treatments. Because of differences in damaged skin, some people will see the benefits almost immediately and others will need more treatments. Because treatments are progressive, we recommend treatments for at least ten (10) weeks, for maximum results.
Do LED Treatments work on everyone?
LED treatments are proven to work on all skin types. There is over a 90% success rate for people using our system.
Can this hurt my eyes?
No studies have been found showing any harmful effects to the eyes when using our product correctly. However, we recommend not staring directly into our LEDs and we have provided a supply of eye shields for your comfort.
Why can't I see light from some of the LED's?
These LEDs (880 nm) are on and working properly. You cannot see them because they are in the infrared spectrum, which is not visible to the human eye. Some digital cameras and camcorders will display the infrared lights.
Can I combine LED treatments with other skin care?
Yes. LED treatments can be used alone or with other skin care treatments. Many physicians have found LED treatments to complement other skin care treatments.
Will LED treatments hurt?
No. Unlike lasers or other ablative (skin harming) treatments, LED treatments are non-thermal, non-ablative, and non-invasive. Clients report no discomfort or pain associated with LED treatments.
Is LED therapy and IPL (intense pulse light) therapy the same?
LED Therapy and IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) are different. There are several Commercial IPL systems on the market and they range from 500-1200 nm, but the big difference is in the energy output measured in joules/cm2. IPL typically has a power range of 3-90 Joules. It is closer to laser and because of that more dangerous than LEDs. IPL typically need trained users/aesthetician to administer.
Can I use the LED skin light for balding, acne, rosacea?
LED infrared / red light devices have been used for balding, rosacea, pain, arthritis and acne. From the search we performed across the internet we have found that DPL LED's use the same technology as other devices that are making these claims. Since this is a new product for us we are not willing to make any claims that this unit will produce the same results as other available units. This unit is being marketed as a cosmetic device. Most skin devices that are available have been commercial models and very expense. This is the first home model that we feel is reasonable, will cover you entire face with one treatment and we are hearing from our clients that it is producing great results.
What is the difference between Laser or LED?
LED's produce (non-coherent, monochromatic light; spontaneous emission) - Laser's produce (coherent, monochromatic light, stimulated emission)
Tiina Karu (1998: The Science of Low-Power Laser Therapy) states that "...the coherence of light is of no importance in low-power laser clinical effects" and "the primary difference between lasers and LED's is that the laser's coherent beam produces "speckles" of relatively high power density which can cause local heating of inhomogeneous tissues".
Currently researchers & scientist agree that LED's are effective in generating a response within living tissue and hence has a therapeutic effect if used properly.
Most published research on photorejuvenation has been conducted using Lasers and not LED's. Only within the the last decade have LED's been produced with a strong enough output power to be beneficial for photo rejuvenation
NASA has produced the best research documentation to date supporting the effectiveness of LED's to stimulate plants and human tissue. Until more research is completed on the success of LED's for photorejuvenation the effectiveness is still not supported by extensive research.
To summarize, both LED's and Laser's work, but more research is needed to determine their best suited role LED's will play in photo-rejuvination.
