Is this light any good for psoriasis treatment? I know that light treatments are great for psoriasis, is this one in the right vein?

That is a great question. I haven't seen any data that looks at psoriasis and SAD light boxes. I have a light box. I don't have psoriasis, though and cant test it for you. I think the psoriasis may be affected by UV light and the "blue" boxes aren't really geared to that end of the light spectrum. I am not positive, though. Did you look at any of the psoriasis treatment lamps to see if they are indeed UV?

Yes. we used two of them and our spa to apply makeup. It provides plenty of light.

I like the light very much for all it's features. The quality of it's light is warm and natural, which is what I think you were concerned about when you mention lumens. In my case the contractor who remodeled the house I purchased, put a can light above one of the sinks in the bathroom which did not allow for enough light to relect in mirror for shaving or make up. This fixed the problem nicely.

Hello. Honestly... I wouldn't put much faith in that. I wouldn't even say that this had any long lasting effects. Sorry... I was disappointed too. For what its worth, I'd check with your local aesthetics clinic. They can treat varicose veins. Good luck!

C - According to a user review I just saw on Costco.com, no it shouldn't be used if you've had cataract surgery. I'd maybe check the Phillips site to see if they have a copy of the user guide available, though. Or maybe call your surgeon and ask what type of light you can use? Good Luck!

Help made the dark spot less dark, almost completely disappearing. Probably the spot will be gone for good if I buy more disks. Also, your skin look so clean and healthy. I really like it. As soon as you use it you will see a noticeable change in your skin.

I like this light very much, and I would say it does have a natural light effect. It is ideal for eyebrow plucking!

It doesn't hurt anything at all. I do it all the time. I also use the light about 4 times per week. 1-3 hours at a time

So, I actually wanted to get this to lighten freckles and sunspots. That is one thing that salon-IPL does, but it's so expensive b/c I have these all over my body. The salon quoted me thousands of $$ to get one treatment. I've had Laser Hair Removal on my whole body and the light usually darkens the mole and then it scabs up and falls off after a week or so, then underneath it is many shades lighter afterwards. I'm wondering if this Remington device will do the same thing at a much lower price? Does anybody who has treated freckles or darkly pigmented areas care to share the results? Please?

I don't think that would give you the light that you are looking for. It's very bright but you need to be sitting within 12 inches of the light to get any affect. You would probably want to get a bigger light that was meant for lighting a larger area. This is a great light for light therapy, but not for lighting a whole room. I also think the light bulbs wouldn't last very long in that situation.

Seems like a bunch of voodoo to me. But there are people give it great reviews...which is why I bought one. Frankly, when people say you have to keep using it for a couple of weeks I have to wonder...well a lot of things heal on their own if you give it long enough so who's to say it was the light that healed it?

The side positioning of a therapy lamp is not ideal, as both eyes may not receive the full light exposure. However, placing the unit directly in front may be impractical for some users. There will still be an effect from the lamp, as there is a broad field of illumination. With some "testing" of locations, timing and proxiimty, you can determine the best option for your needs.

It isn't as bright as you think. I can look right at it. But if you are sensitive to light, I would ask your doctor. The point is to use it for a specific amount of time otherwise you will not get results. I use it for 20 minutes every morning. I hope this helps!

LED lights are fairly harmless rays of natural light. There should be no interaction with Retin-A (tretinoin), which in brief a more powerful Rx only version of Retinol. I use all 3 of the mentioned products. Wash face, use LED mask & apply product afterwards. :-)

You are welcome. This is a great light to this point. Have only had it a few months.

Haven't tried using only this oil for relief of psoriasis. I have tried it mixed with essential oils with some success. Try. Mixing it with lavendar and Frankencense. All the information I have found a put psoriasis indicates it has a genetic cause. I have not anything that I consider to be a cure, but it lets up with exposure to Sunshine, daily washing using Castile soap, and application of various essential oils. Argan oil has been a better choice for me than fractionated coconut oil. Pure virgin coconut oil is said to have healing properties, but frac coconut oil is processed and likely has had much of the benefit removed, although it is an excellent skin softener.

I have used LightStem for a while. I LOVE the way it makes my skin feel... very soft.You do have to put in the time though........ I see a difference, almost immediately. I amnot too consistent though.... :( forget to get it out. If you use it.. it works! I have no regrets buying it.Hope this helps!
