Mary Muses..Mine is not a cosmetic questions as I know there are no cremes that will actually firm sagging skin. I want to know if LED light therapy works on reducing wrinkles and stimulating collagen growth as some spas claim. Also I want to know if the Titan skin tightening procedure works. Thanks!

I checked out some info over at the American Academy of Dermatology and found that indeed dermatologists say that LED can improve fine wrinkling and skin discoloration. However, I wouldn’t have this done at a Spa! This is a medical procedure that can only effectively be done by a doctor. Any treatment that a spa would give you will not do anything for you except separate you from your money. LED does NOT stimulate collagen growth! At best it reconfigures your skin. It does nothing to impact growth. Save up your money for real laser surgery. Don’t waste it on spa LED treatments.
Titan might work. Check out this site. I don’t know a lot about it but the guy did an interview with Dr Dean Edell and I respect him. Although, the story is about getting rid of varicose veins. But again, have it done by a doctor. You can’t get it done effectively by a spa.
Have you had the LED procedure done on you? Leave a comment and let everyone else know what you thought.

Waaaaiiiiiit a minute…I know you guys are cosmetic chemists and all, but before you go knocking spas for LED treatments, you need to get in the know about LED therapy. I was trained in laser and LED treatments, and I took the same course that doctors are required to take regarding the use of non-medical lasers (although you learn about medical ones) and LEDs. LEDs are harmless. It is light. That is why you need not be a doctor to use one, buy one, or operate one. Granted, the strength of the LED being used will vary (and will definitely produce different results), but it does not matter who facilitates the ‘therapy’–doctor or aesthetician. It’s the machine that matters. So, my suggestion is that you do research on the machine being used to determine whether or not you’re going to get any good results. Why pay a doctor (who gets anywhere from, say, $300/hr to $650/hr) to do the same thing that an aesthi will charge you a fraction for? Exactly.
@Larisa. You make a great point.
Isn’t the baby Quasar used for LED light treatments?
These LEDs are not that bright, but still a nice thing to use.
my in-laws use Facial Secret. It uses LED light therapy to eliminate all kinds of skin imperfections…5-10min a day. I have seen the results and I would recommend it. It is also good because you use the unit in your own home. If ya’ll are interested the website is http://www.facialsecret.com
