@@EspadasYCopas I didn’t mean compare the results just compare which one is the most comfortable to wear. like if I was asked to compare four different styles of shoes I would wear each pair for one for a week and then rank them
hot n flashy did a really awesome comparison video on this. several good lights, one of the best was from omnilux who makes the professional in office panels, and i think it’s on sale now? and i know she always has a code. i bought one a while back and love it.
Love this review ❤️ I been using the SkinGenics LED mask for like 3 months and been noticing very good results. It was also pretty budget friendly and is rechargeable.
YES - please please please do a compare & contrast video on the most popular masks. A number of RUclips dermatologists (and influencers) have touted various LED masks, so it should be easy to see which the most popular ones are. Thank you so much.
Dr. Idriss! I appreciate you so much. There are so many scams and sensationalized skin care products and treatments, and while clearly, some have valid, scientific evidence to support the claims, the advertisers get their claws in the claims, use the right buzz words, and then sell us consumers something that is ineffective and wastes money. I so appreciate your transparency! Thank you.
As a Physicist and self proclaimed nerd, this made me so happy! She was using language from physics (which is my bread and butter) and was explaining the biological impact on skincare that I loved to learn. The moment she used the word irradiance, I was like, “that’s the optical intensity you are talking about”! And then in the next sentence she explained it in terms of intensity with the correct unit! ❤️ I had a broad smile on my face all the duration while watching. Thank you for making my Sunday morning (Australia is too ahead in time zone)! PS. A small correction. Not trying to be impolite or anything. Just for the sake of clarity. When the unit is mW/sq cm, it’s technically the radiant power per unit surface area, not per unit volume. But I get what you intended to mean.
@@sosasisu not really. LED lights come in a variety of wavelengths. And it’s important that you get the correct spectrum, otherwise there is no benefit. I don’t think that the outdoor LED lights always are in the red spectrum (which is needed for skin). Because making a certain wavelength range can take the production cost of the lights higher. I doubt they do it with outdoor lights.
Thank you Dr. Idriss, this 68 year old little skin nerd has learned, and used your highly efficacious advice successfully for over a year now. Wow, just wow, thank you, thank you. It feels amazing to have my skin improving month after month at my age, in Arizona. I must add that your splendid breakdown of this technology was greatly appreciated, and will be utilized shortly.
I bought the Omnilux it’s one of the big makers of red light therapy and I trust Angie’s opinion. I use it longways se on neck and chest, thanks se it almost every morning. It’s has made a difference! Skin is even and is very bright it’s been 3months
I would love to see a comparison of the masks. If the Higherdose is $100 cheaper and it's the same effectiveness and has the added bonus of the top strap that would be GREAT to know!!
Thank you Dr. Idriss for your “info” about LED lights at home!. We are all looking forward to seeing you in a video comparing all of them to get the right one. Deese and Omnilux contour face masks have been created by the same companies that offer professional LED devices at dermatologist office.
i bought the omnilux mask after watching hot n flashy do a deep dive on the specifics of several devices to see which ones had the specifics to be beneficial and i love it. it’s not the cheapest or the most expensive mask but my skin looks amazing and it’s super easy to wear and soft and flexible enough to use for other parts of my body. i don’t remember it being almost 400 bucks maybe it went up in price but i got in on a sale for a like 205 or something so look for sales and discount codes
I am thinking about getting this for myself for Christmas. What changes did you see in your skin? I am 52 and don’t have any big deep wrinkles but I do have some tiny but MANY little crepy (sp?) lines in my chin and cheeks. Plus I have saggy pores (they have always been medium to large but since menopause they are saggy. Yes, saggy pores-wth?!?!? Lol).
Anybody who is watching this video now. The Dr Dennis Gross red light mask is amazing! I watched endless videos comparing them all. The thing I love most about this mask is it’s only 3 minutes a day. My skin has changed dramatically. I am buying a neck and chest light but Dr Dennis Gross doesn’t do one so will probably go current body
I just found your channel a couple of weeks ago. August 2024. You now have 1.44 million followers ❤❤❤ I am a new Aesthetician at 60 years old and I am learning so much from you.
Mega nerd points, I love how in depth you went with the explanations and calculations! We have been evaluating getting an LED device for hair regrowth for my husband, but I'm also interested in muscle therapy and collagen stimulation. Would it be possible to get a breakdown on which irradiance works best for each category of treatment, and/or is there one device that can do multiple treatments (perhaps the Joovv for hair + muscle recovery)?
I have experienced both improvement in my skin and remarkable improvement in my arthritis pain - I have a LED panel. Also my eyebrows and lashes have grown longer and fuller.
I recently purchased a very inexpensive LED face & neck mask, no infrared, but 630nm red light. It is a little heavy and inflexible, so requires some accomodations to use it. The recommended time is 15-30 minutes and it does turn off automatically. I'm actually quite pleased after watching this because it seems it may actually be potentially effective and since I'm retired I have the time- I listen to lots of info like this anyway, so I feel I'm using the time well. I do wear goggles with it. I figured even if it didn't last for longer than a jar of cream, it was a cost effective trial. 😉🚨👽
You are go to for dermatology, Shereene. Such a talented doctor and so entertaining. You explain everything so well it feels like a catch up with a friend. Thank you.
This was so informative! With having rosacea and hyperpigmentation, I purchased a Wolznek red LED bulb (without Near Infrared) this way, I’m able to hold the bulb away from my face oppose to having a mask sitting in my face with the heat directly on my skin and possibly making my hyperpigmentation worse. Thank you so much and have a wonderful week!
Questions: 1. When it comes to either lip products and/or for your face (slugging or otherwise) which is better petrolatum or lanolin. What are the differences in their benefits and which do you prefer, if either. Are they both occlusive? Specifics please. 2. Where do you get the sweater? Thanks so much. I’m in esthetician school about to graduate and you’ve taught me so so so much. You’re the literal best. How smart you are but your personality and delivery.
I bought the Omnilux on Black Friday. I've been doing it everyday and I believe I am seeing skin texture improvement. I do use tretinoin and retinals as well for my skin.
I am confused I didn’t know if she meant by if you use a product that makes you more photo sensitive then u can’t use LED mask? I didn’t know if that applies to retinal and stuff? Do you feel like your skin got better than it already was due to retinal and your skincare? And do you use it bare face cleansed no products?
Thank you so much for the information! I have been using Currentbody mask religiously for 6 weeks and I can obviously see the results. My skin looks so glowy and the texture feels so much refined and smooth. I’m 30 with hormonal acne from time to time and I noticed how this mask made it less inflamed. Also, my nasolabial folds are noticeably not as deep as they’re used to be. I’m using this mask on my hair and neck too. You can find a bunch of discount codes online to make the price bearable. Still think it’s worth every penny!
I couldn't be more pleased with Hairmax. I lost 75% of my elbow length hair after covid. The Dr said I would keep losing hair for 6-9 months (telogen effluvium). After 150 days using Hairmax daily, I have new growth that is 7cm long, and I need to color my roots in half the time. Omnilux has also made a noticeable difference in my forehead & crows-foot-area expression lines. It's easy to lay it over my face while I hit the snooze button once or twice in the morning.
Yes to the review! I bought the omnilux and the first week I thought it was AMAZING but after I few months, I don’t notice a difference from when I started. Any tips would be appreciated! Thank you for always sharing your knowledge
I had a similar experience. If I do it 2x a day for 20-30mins each time I notice a little more glow but not enough to warrant how much time it takes and I’m 40. I also tried the blue led foreo acne wand thing and noticed zero difference no matter how much I used it. 😑
@@AddieWagenknecht you may be using it too often! I've used an LED mask for about 4 yrs now. After the initial 6 week period of using it 4-5 times a week, I just use mine for maintenance 3 sometimes 4 times a week if I feel like it-often the 4th is a different color like blue for calming. I think twice a day is excessive, your skin needs time to rest in between.
I’ve been using Omnilux for a couple of years now & love it! I’m on vacation right now and regretting not bringing it with me 🙄 … loved your husband getting into the shot … LOL! You two are adorable … thanks for all you do, love your videos!!!
Dr Idriss, you are truly the greatest derm out there! You are so honest, you’ve literally saved me a ton of money. I have been diagnosed with LPP and you addressed the multi purpose use of this device as I have thought all along, I’ll use it on my face, neck and head. 🤣 And yes, please do a review. The omnilux has been sitting in my cart since Boxing Day. Your husband is such a good sport, love you guys! Happy New Year! 🙏🏽❤️
Would applying a serum before the LED mask have an impact on its efficacy/ability to penetrate the skin? Thank you so much! ❤ I'm a final year med student in Italy and your videos are such an inspiration for me to go into dermatology!
Thank you!! This is such a confusing topic and you explained it so well! I vote yes to a comparison video for products like the face masks, light stem, Red Light Man, just love hearing your opinion on these things! Thanks for all you do!
LED therapy has been amazing for me! I've been doing it from time to time for a couple of years but ever since I got the Foreo mask and have gotten into a weekly routine results have been amazing. Definitely the best anti-age treatment I've tried so far.
I have been using 360beluxe face and neck mask, and I can tell the results are spectacular, I even recommend to my friends and family, everyone should enjoy about the benefits of the light therapy at home !!
Oh wow! This is perfect timing for me!!! I’ve been doing deep research on LED masks and I’ve narrowed down to these 3 brands lol Yes please! A comparison video would be a godsend!!! 🥰🥰🥰🙏🙏🙏
I have been doing red light therapy on my leg for about a week now. I fell outside and gashed my knee open and had a pretty nasty wound. It has healed so fast from doing 30 min a day of red light therapy. It is a light pink now and hardly visible. I was so worried it would leave a big scar but these looks like it will be minimal.
FINALLY! Just in time! As I’m putting on my Omnilux mask 🤩 Thank you for being so informative and straight to the point. I would love a comparison video of the masks.
Not sure if you'll see this but can you expand on your omnilux experience? I'm just doing research right now and would love to purchase a mask/wand. Thanks so much!
I bought one a year ago (I'm in Australia) and I love it! My sister works in cosmetic medicine and I took mine in to compare with her machines, and it had similar energy outputs and NMs with blue, orange and red light. I love it!! My son uses the blue light for acne then the yellow light for healing, and I use the red light for anti-aging. I love it! We only use it for 10mins per light exposure. In saying that, some things are for home, some things only a professional can do. I don't trust giving myself my regular ultrasound skin treatment for face drooping!! 🤣🤣
Yes to the review please! Of you would buy a light therapy device, which one would you get. Can be ones that are not just for face but for entitet body and multi use. THANK YOU! Your videos and advocera are so so good and it feels nice and safe when you recomend things.
Thank you for this very thorough explanation! I would GREATLY appreciate a comparison video talking about different options on the market, because I am so overwhelmed! I’m not sure what the best value is and what is actually worth my money
This was so interesting and educational. I would love a comparison of the masks and the best options in each price range if possible. I recently got the Dr Dennis Gross one but I am a little scared that it was a waste of money, it doesn't specify anything except the color of the lights. Thank you!
I’m in the same boat, haha. Also these flat ones seem to be more useful bcs you can use them easily on different areas of your body. From what I’ve seen, the Omnilux one has the most bulbs in the right frequency and great coverage over the face. I think I’m going for that but will hold tight a little longer and see if any of these kind doctors instruct me.
Thank you so VERY much for this video. I have been investigating these items for my use and I was in a turmoil about which to use. This was a great source of information.
Thank you for condensing all this information into one video... so hard to find and understand it on the internet. This helps to compare devices with the limited information companies provide. Thank you so much! love your videos.
I work in the chemical industry & glad you hit on FDA. FDA Cleared & FDA Approval doesn't mean much in my opinion. Approval just means that the company submitted their own trial studies (which don't necessarily mean they have a double blind placebo). Cleared means the company is using what is known as "predicate" when submitting to the FDA. This means their device is fungible with something similar on the market. FDA doesn't perform their own testing on anything. So if you see "FDA approved LED Light Therapy Treatment" this is misleading.
I love your husband casually coming in, being in the background, being part of the video, interrupting the video to ask about losing something (keys?--couldn't quite tell), nope!, and then he casually walks out. You two are very cute.
I'm not so sure... this is her video and her earnings/work. It seemed disrespectful to me, and it bothered me when I wanted to listen to her advice. Dr. Idriss is wonderful, but her husband doesn't interest me at all.
Happy New Year! I just bought the Omnilux contour. Several years ago, I used lightstim for wrinkes. It definitely worsened my melasma. It got super hot, so that must have been why.
You said that they all are in the right range. But I can not make a top 3 and tell which one is 1 and number 2 and why so I can know which one is the best. I hope you do another video! I loved this video.
Thank you for this informative video. It would be great to have a similar educational video on RF and anti-aging, any benefits, RF home device efficacy, different types etc
Thank you,thank you , thank you! I’m so glad you did this video and would love a video on each device. It’s an investment and one that I haven’t jumped on because I want to make sure I’m getting the right one.
I love it when your husband makes an appearance 😂😂 Yes, it would be so cool if you could do a review of devises. I’m acne prone so would love to learn more about the blue light devices. Thank you!
If you are using tretinoin, vitamin C, etc., how do you incorporate LED into your routine? Do you forgo using tretinoin on the night you use the LED mask? Many thanks.
I'm so glad you talked about this . I've been wanting to asked you about them. Please review some to see what works for me. I also see some that are like a mirror too and some other face therapy I've seen are mist steaming your face too.
Hello Dr. Idriss! Lots of love from India ❤️ your videos helps a lot to continue a well knowledge based skincare routine, so thank you for your efforts. Could you please guide regarding the safest hair removal method for facial hair ?
Just what i was waiting for! Thank you! I leave one ideia for the next video on microcurrent devices! I have learned so much with you! I am am finally seeing results on my pigmentation issues! Bless you
I recently discovered your channel and I am binging your videos! 😊 So much information, I feel smarter, thank you for taking the time to make these videos 🙂🙂
Wow I'm learning so much! I did not know about the FDA Approval 501k, I actually went to look for the specifications and found the summary with irradiances details! Its fascinating. I really appreciate your explanation of led light, wavelength and research you put into your videos. Thank you!
Hi Dr Idriss, 510(k) is not FDA approval, it is "FDA clearance" which differs from "FDA approval" in that it just means the manufacturer can demonstrate that their product is "substantially equivalent to another (similar) legally marketed device". "FDA approval" means the FDA has determined that the "benefits of the product outweigh the known risks for the intended use."
I appreciate you so much Dr Shereene. I love your personality, you are soo informative, I love how you break things down- makes it really to understand. You’ve save me sooo much money. ILYSM
Hi doc, amazing video 🥰 I wanted actually a sincere opinion if these kind of devices really worth the money or is it better to go to the derm clinic to get a led treatment, what's your thoughts on that? Because they are quite expensive and sometimes I wonder if wouldn't be better to take a derm treatment instead , thank you 🤗🤗🤗
Dr Shereene, betw an LED Mask that you need to use 10 mins (less intensity) each session vs one that you only need 3 mins (more intensity) each session, which one would you pick and why (ignoring all other feature difference such as usability and just focusing on the LED lights themselves)? (For example, Omnilux vs Qure LED Mask).
Thank you Dr. Idriss for all of the wonderful evidence based information - it is a breath of fresh air! I feel like I am getting free education. It’s truly thrilling to see hard work and science for the win in this world of misinformation. Would love to see you pair with an MUA for recs on non-comedogenic makeup (both luxury and drugstore) that works well over a good skin regimen. I worry that there are oils or other ingredients in my makeup that may interfere with my sunscreen. Also, silica! Should I be using it or avoiding it for oily areas? It’s in a lot of mattifying products and I want to make a thoughtful educated decision on it’s use. Would love to hear any products you like (or don’t like) from Clarins, Maya chia, and chantacaille. Also agree with another comment I saw with a request for a video on masks! I removed several products that were overloaded with HAs and I seriously feel a difference even within 24hours. I believe I was waking up with dehydrated skin despite an effort to be diligent in the evenings with my routine. GAMECHANGER. 🙏🏻
Yes please do a review! (Maybe one on the Foreo Espada for acne?) I'm also dying to see a microcurrent video! I just got the Bear and I genuinely think it has helped my skin, or maybe it's just making me less stressed lol but worth it!
I have a range of lights from The Red Light Man in the UK. He ships internationally (I'm in Australia). They're powerful, good quality lights in the proven wavelengths. He doesn't sell face masks and doesn't try to make them look pretty. They're just good lights. You can get minis that you hold in your hand and point at the treatment area (I actually do the backs of my hands with these) or screw into a lamp stand. You can get stronger light boxes that you can hold or hang somewhere. He's super open about all of the specs, unlike a lot of the brands, and will give you good dosage advice.
Such an informative video! I’ve been researching LED masks for a while and I ended up with the Dr Dennis Gross spectralite mask. I just loved how it fitted to my face. I also liked that it only takes 3 minutes. No cords attached whilst wearing the mask. It is one of the more expensive ones but it’s an investment for me
Thank you for this! Can you also look at the Dr Denis Gross mask? For some reason they use 880 IR instead of 830 and I'm wondering why they chose this wavelength. I've also found what appears to be a dupe of it by a company called Qure, which I've been seriously looking at. I want one that does red and blue light, which rules out the OmniLux, etc. I'm also having issues with hair loss and am seeing a specialist for that this week so will ask him for his thoughts too - I'd love to get a device that could work for both hair loss and acne/ageing on the face/neck.
Thanks so much for this very informative video. Dr Idriss would you say, theoretically, that you could use once of the LED face masks over the top of your head to help with hair loss? I appreciate the design is different and that some spots might be missed, but would it generally function similarly? I notice that the hair devices are so much more expensive.
Nice summary. I have the Omnilux and the LightStim. They are good, comfortable, easy to use. Can't hurt to try the Hairmax, as we all have thinning hair as I we get older. Thanks!
Happy New Year!🎉 Thank you so much for this LED therapy video, it’s like you read my mind, as I was hoping you’d discuss them. An in-depth comparison would be amazing!
Such great info!! I love the details and explanation of how LED tx work at the patho/cellular derm level!! Yeah!! I want the mask and maybe the neck light too! ✨❤️✨
Thank you for the detailed explanation and info. Angie does have thorough reviews of the older masks. However I believe the Higher does is more recent. I purchased one last November with a great discount code (impulse buy)and have been enjoying using it since Christmas. Not long enough to determine results(I'm 63-it's going to take a while🤣🤣🤣)but I find it very comfortable to use and the top strap is great to keep it in place if you want or need to move around while using. I like to just sit and relax with mine. And after your explanation I feel like my purchase was not a waste-Thanks!!!
I would definitely be interested in a comparison of the masks. They do look the same but if you can give each one a week and report back about if there are any differences besides the top strap that would be great.

I’m so pleased you found something to help with your hair loss! I recently lost a fair bit of my hair and it sucks, really.
Yes to the review! I bought the omnilux and the first week I thought it was AMAZING but after I few months, I don’t notice a difference from when I started. Any tips would be appreciated! Thank you for always sharing your knowledge
What did you notice?
I had a similar experience. If I do it 2x a day for 20-30mins each time I notice a little more glow but not enough to warrant how much time it takes and I’m 40. I also tried the blue led foreo acne wand thing and noticed zero difference no matter how much I used it. 😑
@@AddieWagenknecht you may be using it too often! I've used an LED mask for about 4 yrs now. After the initial 6 week period of using it 4-5 times a week, I just use mine for maintenance 3 sometimes 4 times a week if I feel like it-often the 4th is a different color like blue for calming. I think twice a day is excessive, your skin needs time to rest in between.
I’ve been using Omnilux for a couple of years now & love it! I’m on vacation right now and regretting not bringing it with me 🙄 … loved your husband getting into the shot … LOL! You two are adorable … thanks for all you do, love your videos!!!
Dr Idriss, you are truly the greatest derm out there! You are so honest, you’ve literally saved me a ton of money. I have been diagnosed with LPP and you addressed the multi purpose use of this device as I have thought all along, I’ll use it on my face, neck and head. 🤣 And yes, please do a review. The omnilux has been sitting in my cart since Boxing Day. Your husband is such a good sport, love you guys! Happy New Year! 🙏🏽❤️
Would applying a serum before the LED mask have an impact on its efficacy/ability to penetrate the skin? Thank you so much! ❤ I'm a final year med student in Italy and your videos are such an inspiration for me to go into dermatology!
It does
Thank you!! This is such a confusing topic and you explained it so well! I vote yes to a comparison video for products like the face masks, light stem, Red Light Man, just love hearing your opinion on these things! Thanks for all you do!
LED therapy has been amazing for me! I've been doing it from time to time for a couple of years but ever since I got the Foreo mask and have gotten into a weekly routine results have been amazing. Definitely the best anti-age treatment I've tried so far.
I have been using 360beluxe face and neck mask, and I can tell the results are spectacular, I even recommend to my friends and family, everyone should enjoy about the benefits of the light therapy at home !!
One of the best videos on LEDs out there. So many are not powerful enough to do anything (ie Amazon lights). Thank you!
Oh wow! This is perfect timing for me!!! I’ve been doing deep research on LED masks and I’ve narrowed down to these 3 brands lol Yes please! A comparison video would be a godsend!!! 🥰🥰🥰🙏🙏🙏
Hi! What did you end up getting? I’d love to know and if you like it. Thanks!
I got higher dose for all the reasons Dr Idriss stated. I use it in the morning every day before applying any lotions or reflective skincare
I have been doing red light therapy on my leg for about a week now. I fell outside and gashed my knee open and had a pretty nasty wound. It has healed so fast from doing 30 min a day of red light therapy. It is a light pink now and hardly visible. I was so worried it would leave a big scar but these looks like it will be minimal.
Skingenics has the rechargeable cordless led face mask and goes under sixty bucks anyone tried it yet ?
My wife has it from them and swears by it
FINALLY! Just in time! As I’m putting on my Omnilux mask 🤩 Thank you for being so informative and straight to the point. I would love a comparison video of the masks.
Not sure if you'll see this but can you expand on your omnilux experience? I'm just doing research right now and would love to purchase a mask/wand. Thanks so much!
I have a current body mask and love it. It brightens up my skin tone and helps heal eczema outbreaks well
I bought one a year ago (I'm in Australia) and I love it! My sister works in cosmetic medicine and I took mine in to compare with her machines, and it had similar energy outputs and NMs with blue, orange and red light. I love it!! My son uses the blue light for acne then the yellow light for healing, and I use the red light for anti-aging. I love it! We only use it for 10mins per light exposure.
In saying that, some things are for home, some things only a professional can do. I don't trust giving myself my regular ultrasound skin treatment for face drooping!! 🤣🤣
Hi Stacy 😊 I’m in Australia too. Which device did you purchase?
Hi, I live in Qld. Can I ask which one you purchased
I have the Omnilux one and I think it makes a difference. Love it when your husband came in looking around lol
Yes to the review please! Of you would buy a light therapy device, which one would you get. Can be ones that are not just for face but for entitet body and multi use. THANK YOU! Your videos and advocera are so so good and it feels nice and safe when you recomend things.
Thank you for this very thorough explanation! I would GREATLY appreciate a comparison video talking about different options on the market, because I am so overwhelmed! I’m not sure what the best value is and what is actually worth my money
Would love a comparison review, including the dr. Dennis Gross? And would love more info on the hair max! Thank you!🌷 skin nerds, unite!
Yes please. Device review would be highly appreciated. There is so many in the market and it’s difficult to choose IF it is even effective.
This was so interesting and educational. I would love a comparison of the masks and the best options in each price range if possible. I recently got the Dr Dennis Gross one but I am a little scared that it was a waste of money, it doesn't specify anything except the color of the lights.
Thank you!
I’m in the same boat, haha. Also these flat ones seem to be more useful bcs you can use them easily on different areas of your body. From what I’ve seen, the Omnilux one has the most bulbs in the right frequency and great coverage over the face. I think I’m going for that but will hold tight a little longer and see if any of these kind doctors instruct me.
Thank you so VERY much for this video. I have been investigating these items for my use and I was in a turmoil about which to use. This was a great source of information.
Thank you for condensing all this information into one video... so hard to find and understand it on the internet. This helps to compare devices with the limited information companies provide. Thank you so much! love your videos.
I would love a review comparing the efficacy of different at home LED masks.
Go to hot and flashy RUclips channel..she has lots of reviews and actual usage for several different version.
I work in the chemical industry & glad you hit on FDA. FDA Cleared & FDA Approval doesn't mean much in my opinion. Approval just means that the company submitted their own trial studies (which don't necessarily mean they have a double blind placebo). Cleared means the company is using what is known as "predicate" when submitting to the FDA. This means their device is fungible with something similar on the market. FDA doesn't perform their own testing on anything. So if you see "FDA approved LED Light Therapy Treatment" this is misleading.
Ah I did not know that, thank you for the information share!
Yes, please do a video reviewing them. Thank you ❤️💕
Happy new year!! Sending you so much love and positivity this new year. Cheers my friends 😊🎉❤️🇨🇦
I love your husband casually coming in, being in the background, being part of the video, interrupting the video to ask about losing something (keys?--couldn't quite tell), nope!, and then he casually walks out. You two are very cute.
I'm not so sure... this is her video and her earnings/work. It seemed disrespectful to me, and it bothered me when I wanted to listen to her advice. Dr. Idriss is wonderful, but her husband doesn't interest me at all.
Happy New Year! I just bought the Omnilux contour. Several years ago, I used lightstim for wrinkes. It definitely worsened my melasma. It got super hot, so that must have been why.
How has the Omnilux been working for you?
Dr Idriss jaime beaucoup t écouter dans tes videos tu explique tellement bien et..tes videos sont tellement informative..thank you from Montreal
You said that they all are in the right range. But I can not make a top 3 and tell which one is 1 and number 2 and why so I can know which one is the best.
I hope you do another video! I loved this video.
Thank you for this informative video. It would be great to have a similar educational video on RF and anti-aging, any benefits, RF home device efficacy, different types etc
I am extremely thankful for this information... As an esthetician this is a mega break down...
Thank you soooooo much for this valuable information! These lights are so expensive it’s very helpful to actually know what to look for & compare!
I’m one of your little nerds and am loving all u do. You are a true gift! Thank you for your thoughtful and informative videos. Happy Saturday!
Thank you,thank you , thank you! I’m so glad you did this video and would love a video on each device. It’s an investment and one that I haven’t jumped on because I want to make sure I’m getting the right one.
I love it when your husband makes an appearance 😂😂 Yes, it would be so cool if you could do a review of devises. I’m acne prone so would love to learn more about the blue light devices. Thank you!
Celluma is the best device for LED Therapy at home at my opinion, I own the Celluma Pro and it's legit!
If you are using tretinoin, vitamin C, etc., how do you incorporate LED into your routine? Do you forgo using tretinoin on the night you use the LED mask? Many thanks.
I have the CurrentBody LED. My dermatologist told me to use this AFTER washing my face, but BEFORE using any serums, moisturizers, or actives.
@@stacylbrewer even if u have dry skin 🥺?
Yes please Dr Idriss, a comparison review would be great !
I'm so glad you talked about this . I've been wanting to asked you about them. Please review some to see what works for me. I also see some that are like a mirror too and some other face therapy I've seen are mist steaming your face too.
Hello Dr. Idriss! Lots of love from India ❤️ your videos helps a lot to continue a well knowledge based skincare routine, so thank you for your efforts. Could you please guide regarding the safest hair removal method for facial hair ?
Yes please! Need a video reviewing the devices!! ❤️
Just what i was waiting for! Thank you! I leave one ideia for the next video on microcurrent devices! I have learned so much with you! I am am finally seeing results on my pigmentation issues! Bless you
Thank you for breaking this down. Super informative. Would love to see more videos on other at home devices like micro current.
Thank you thank you thank you!!!! The most informative information I’ve found and believe me I’ve searched high and low.
I recently discovered your channel and I am binging your videos! 😊 So much information, I feel smarter, thank you for taking the time to make these videos 🙂🙂
Wow I'm learning so much! I did not know about the FDA Approval 501k, I actually went to look for the specifications and found the summary with irradiances details! Its fascinating. I really appreciate your explanation of led light, wavelength and research you put into your videos. Thank you!
Very educational! I'm the one super hesitant on these devices.
Would you do a video about which products are good for hair/scalp health?
Hi Dr Idriss, 510(k) is not FDA approval, it is "FDA clearance" which differs from "FDA approval" in that it just means the manufacturer can demonstrate that their product is "substantially equivalent to another (similar) legally marketed device". "FDA approval" means the FDA has determined that the "benefits of the product outweigh the known risks for the intended use."
Dr. you are awesome! And a Nerd! As a fellow IM physician, I appreciate so much the science behind it! Thank you! ❤
Yes review of red light devices would be AMAZING. Also please discuss red light for hair growth !!!
This was great.. thank you.. would the hair loss device work on menopausal hair thinning/loss? Would really appreciate your feedback
I appreciate you so much Dr Shereene. I love your personality, you are soo informative, I love how you break things down- makes it really to understand. You’ve save me sooo much money. ILYSM
So informative! Would love a detailed comparison video!
Hi doc, amazing video 🥰 I wanted actually a sincere opinion if these kind of devices really worth the money or is it better to go to the derm clinic to get a led treatment, what's your thoughts on that? Because they are quite expensive and sometimes I wonder if wouldn't be better to take a derm treatment instead , thank you 🤗🤗🤗
Dr Shereene, betw an LED Mask that you need to use 10 mins (less intensity) each session vs one that you only need 3 mins (more intensity) each session, which one would you pick and why (ignoring all other feature difference such as usability and just focusing on the LED lights themselves)? (For example, Omnilux vs Qure LED Mask).
I have no idea about led therapy just here to watch u cz i love u♥️♥️♥️
Happy 2022 btw🙈
Thank you Dr. Idriss for all of the wonderful evidence based information - it is a breath of fresh air! I feel like I am getting free education. It’s truly thrilling to see hard work and science for the win in this world of misinformation.
Would love to see you pair with an MUA for recs on non-comedogenic makeup (both luxury and drugstore) that works well over a good skin regimen. I worry that there are oils or other ingredients in my makeup that may interfere with my sunscreen. Also, silica! Should I be using it or avoiding it for oily areas? It’s in a lot of mattifying products and I want to make a thoughtful educated decision on it’s use.
Would love to hear any products you like (or don’t like) from Clarins, Maya chia, and chantacaille.
Also agree with another comment I saw with a request for a video on masks!
I removed several products that were overloaded with HAs and I seriously feel a difference even within 24hours. I believe I was waking up with dehydrated skin despite an effort to be diligent in the evenings with my routine. GAMECHANGER.
🙏🏻
Yes please do a review! (Maybe one on the Foreo Espada for acne?) I'm also dying to see a microcurrent video! I just got the Bear and I genuinely think it has helped my skin, or maybe it's just making me less stressed lol but worth it!
Yes please review them for us so we know which is best to buy.
Thank you so much, this is exactly the kind of information us skin nerd consumers need!
Such a fab breakdown, really wouldn’t expect anything less from my favourite Derm! Please do a product comparison video, I’m so intrigued😀😀😀😀
I have a range of lights from The Red Light Man in the UK. He ships internationally (I'm in Australia). They're powerful, good quality lights in the proven wavelengths. He doesn't sell face masks and doesn't try to make them look pretty. They're just good lights. You can get minis that you hold in your hand and point at the treatment area (I actually do the backs of my hands with these) or screw into a lamp stand. You can get stronger light boxes that you can hold or hang somewhere. He's super open about all of the specs, unlike a lot of the brands, and will give you good dosage advice.
Such an informative video! I’ve been researching LED masks for a while and I ended up with the Dr Dennis Gross spectralite mask. I just loved how it fitted to my face. I also liked that it only takes 3 minutes. No cords attached whilst wearing the mask. It is one of the more expensive ones but it’s an investment for me
Thank you for this! Can you also look at the Dr Denis Gross mask? For some reason they use 880 IR instead of 830 and I'm wondering why they chose this wavelength. I've also found what appears to be a dupe of it by a company called Qure, which I've been seriously looking at. I want one that does red and blue light, which rules out the OmniLux, etc. I'm also having issues with hair loss and am seeing a specialist for that this week so will ask him for his thoughts too - I'd love to get a device that could work for both hair loss and acne/ageing on the face/neck.
Please review them individually! Also what should we like did regarding eye protection while wearing these? Thank you Dr.!
Loving the wardrobe visual aids! Religiously following every week - would love to see a deep-dive video on peptides!
Good morning Dr Shereen . You make science FUN! 🙃
Please do a comparison review of the different masks!!!
Thanks so much for this very informative video. Dr Idriss would you say, theoretically, that you could use once of the LED face masks over the top of your head to help with hair loss? I appreciate the design is different and that some spots might be missed, but would it generally function similarly? I notice that the hair devices are so much more expensive.
What about the Dr. Dennis Gross LED mask? Is it worthwhile? It's to be worn for only 3 minutes per day.
Nice summary. I have the Omnilux and the LightStim. They are good, comfortable, easy to use. Can't hurt to try the Hairmax, as we all have thinning hair as I we get older. Thanks!
Happy New Year!🎉 Thank you so much for this LED therapy video, it’s like you read my mind, as I was hoping you’d discuss them. An in-depth comparison would be amazing!
Such great info!! I love the details and explanation of how LED tx work at the patho/cellular derm level!! Yeah!! I want the mask and maybe the neck light too! ✨❤️✨
I really like your no BS explanation & reviews. Just subscribed
Thank you for the detailed explanation and info. Angie does have thorough reviews of the older masks. However I believe the Higher does is more recent. I purchased one last November with a great discount code (impulse buy)and have been enjoying using it since Christmas. Not long enough to determine results(I'm 63-it's going to take a while🤣🤣🤣)but I find it very comfortable to use and the top strap is great to keep it in place if you want or need to move around while using. I like to just sit and relax with mine. And after your explanation I feel like my purchase was not a waste-Thanks!!!
The videos was truly helpful. I've always been curious about LED light for acne and fine lines, thanks!!
