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.
Me too
@@joabthirty-nine788 yes HotandFlashy did a deep dive into the devices.
You can't in only one week.
@@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.
Thank you for the reference ! Mine just came in the mail.
Hi there! Are you still using the mask? How are your results now after a year, do you recommend it? Thanks for your time :)
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.
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.
I love to hear about female physicists!
Can we use LED flood light on face which is used to light the building outdoors ? Are they same?
@@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.
@@tanjiafatema it's red light with wavelength of 630-780nm
@@sosasisu too broad spectrum. You need 630nm with a varying range of +/- 10nm. 630-780 is too broad range. It won’t be effective for skin.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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 love when topics are broken down in this style. It keeps you interested, engaged, and excited to learn more
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!!
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! 🙏🏽❤️
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!
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)?
@@JW99736 wow thanks for the tip. Do you have any recommendations for reputable suppliers
Get a panel includes 660nm and 850nm, it may suitable for you.
You are go to for dermatology, Shereene. Such a talented doctor and so entertaining. You explain everything so well it feels like a catch uop with a friend. Thank you.
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
Thank you for breaking this down. Super informative. Would love to see more videos on other at home devices like micro current.
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.
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!
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!
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 🙂🙂
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!
Yes, please do a video reviewing them. Thank you ❤️💕
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
So informative! Would love a detailed comparison video!
Wish I discovered your channel and the rest of your social media earlier when I was still in derm residency!! Loved how you taught the concepts of phototherapy!
Such a fab breakdown, really wouldn’t expect anything less from my favourite Derm! Please do a product comparison video, I’m so intrigued😀😀😀😀
Thank you so much, this is exactly the kind of information us skin nerd consumers need!
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 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
I really like your no BS explanation & reviews. Just subscribed
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
Very informative video, loved it!!! Yes, please reviews and comparisons of the different mask.
One of the best videos on LEDs out there. So many are not powerful enough to do anything (ie Amazon lights). Thank you!
Thank you thank you thank you!!!! The most informative information I’ve found and believe me I’ve searched high and low.
Yes please! Need a video reviewing the devices!! ❤️
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! ✨❤️✨
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
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
Thank you so much for this video!!! I honestly thought that this was just another at home gimmick device. I really appreciate the way you inform us in layman's terms. I'm more inclined to check these out with more seriousness so YES I would appreciate a video of you doing a cross comparison. Keep up the great videos!!! I look forward to them every Saturday morning and your advice has helped me tremendously with my skin of 59 years! CHEERS!!!
Would love a comparison review, including the dr. Dennis Gross? And would love more info on the hair max! Thank you!🌷 skin nerds, unite!
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.
🙏🏻
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!
Happy new year!! Sending you so much love and positivity this new year. Cheers my friends 😊🎉❤️🇨🇦
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!!!
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!
Same, I have it and I noticed results in a week, especially the glow that gives!
Very good to reduce redness too 👍
I’ve been waiting for this video!!😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Thank you!
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.
Thank you for the comprehensive breakdown. I impulsively bought a heavy LED mask for $70, but I am now returning it and have bought the Higher Body one. It is worth the extra $200 (your code still works!) if it will save me a few expensive, painful, and somewhat invasive microneedling sessions.
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.
Such a great explanation for how this works!
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.
I am extremely thankful for this information... As an esthetician this is a mega break down...
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.
yes, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do a video reviewing the devices discussed in the video. Btw I’m a huge fan of you and love all of your videos! They’ve helped me and my skin so much. Also, could you do a video on your favorite hydrating moisturizers that can be used year round and are effective?
Been waiting for this video!! Thank you!
Dr Idriss jaime beaucoup t écouter dans tes videos tu explique tellement bien et..tes videos sont tellement informative..thank you from Montreal
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!!!
Good morning Dr Shereen . You make science FUN! 🙃
Yes please Dr Idriss, a comparison review would be great !
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 ?
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
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).
I am swaying towards this one too.. I figure I can use it on my neck and my mum on her knee as well
Thanks for this video! Been wondering which LED device is worth using at home! Would love a comparison if that is possible... wish you and your family a wonderful new year!
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!
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?
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.
Lanolin works great for my lips. I used to get occasional cold sores. Never again once I started using lanolin every night before bed.
I learn so much from your videos! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge!
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.
THANK YOU! You just made me so happy! I have been dying to learn about these and I just didn’t know where to start. I have already watched this video twice. Yes please on a review and comparison video. Can these devices help with jowls? Again - thank you!! 😍
I'm so glad I found your channel again! Subbed!!
This was most helpful. I have a device and will look at the specs again. Please do more on this topic. Thank you and Happy Weekend!
I love how animated you are! Thank you for the thorough explanation :)
This is great can! so informative! Can you do microcurrent devices next?
Thank you for this video!! I would love a review of the individual masks!
The videos was truly helpful. I've always been curious about LED light for acne and fine lines, thanks!!
I have a current body mask and love it. It brightens up my skin tone and helps heal eczema outbreaks well
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.
Yes please do comparisons - also if you can include the light saloon - love your channel!!
Loving the wardrobe visual aids! Religiously following every week - would love to see a deep-dive video on peptides!
Can’t wait for the comparison video ☺️
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. 😉🚨👽
Which one did you get?
I have the Omnilux one and I think it makes a difference. Love it when your husband came in looking around lol
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?
Yes! Please do a full review! And could you add one with green light technology…. Sounds super interesting!
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.
Thank you for this video. I’ve been on the fence about purchasing one of these and this was very informative. A comparison video would be great as well. I love your videos… they are so helpful! xo - Loyal “Skin Nerd”
yes a more in-depth comparison of popular masks would be so helpful! just bought the korean cellreturn mask and would love to hear your opinion!
Please do a comparison review of the different masks!!!
a video comparing the devices would be great!
This was great! Succinct and easy to understand. Thank you.
This was great.. thank you.. would the hair loss device work on menopausal hair thinning/loss? Would really appreciate your feedback
Yes please review them for us so we know which is best to buy.
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.
Thank you for this informative video. I would love it if you could do a LED video on your recommended LED masks ie Dr Gross vs K beauty ones etc . You’re the best!
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 !!
I would love a comparison video of the masks. Thank you 😊
I would love to hear your review and comparison of these devices! I love your videos.
This is so helpful! Please cover more on red light!
