Professional LED Light Therapy

I am interested in purchasing Red and Blue LED Lights for an add-on service.  I notice that the prices have such a wide span in price, ranging from $100.00 to $6000.00.  Does anyone know the difference...do you feel that they really work? If you can recommend a particular brand and why would be helpful as well. 

Thank you Skin Care Professionals!

We use them every day and they really do work. The difference is in the calibration. They must be calibrated for skin. I purchased mine from a vendor in Canada, I can get her info if you are interested.

Mary,

If you could send this information to me, I would appreciate.

Thank you.

Have a great day.

The price also has to do with how many diodes there are per sq inch.  So ask and compare.

Mary, that would be great if you can pass the info to me.  I also was told that the nano meters should be between 600 and 900...have you heard this to be true???  Thanks again, Jules

Nanometers are a unit of measurement that are used to measure the wavelength of all sorts of energy.  When talking about LED lights, we are looking at wavelengths between the 420 (blue) and 700+ (infrared) ranges.  Ideally you would have some diodes in the 650-700nm (visible red) range, as well as some diodes in the 700nm-1mm (infrared) ranges for general anti-aging benefits.  Other results can be achieved with wavelengths between the blue and infrared ranges, such as using green light to treat pigmentation, or amber light to work on other aging issues, or blue light for acne, but by and large the great clinical results have been seen with red/infrared.

It is also true that the pricing depends on diodes/sq inch, as well as making sure the company used the high-powered diodes.  The amount of power they consume is measured in watts (just like any other bulb), however the output is measured in joules, with 1 Joule/second = 1 watt.  This conversion is helpful when comparing devices.  Basically a higher number of Joules represents greater output, which means less time per treatment spot, which can also be understood as greater results per unit time.  That's what people pay for!

PS- what is an average price to charge?

We are not in a high income area, so we only charge $30 per tx. My vendors name is Cassandra Rafuse and I will look up her info. I paid $100 per handheld unit.

Rita Paige has excellent information on her web site.  I think it's prolight esthetics (Google).  It is not how many diodes there are per square inch, it is more like the joules per cm2 (joules per centimeter squared), or how much light is getting to the skin that counts.  The closer the diodes are to the skin, the more intense the light (in this case the closer the better for an effective treatment).  The question to ask is "How many joules per centimeter squared in what amount of time, and at what distance from the skin is your unit?  Rita's you use for 30-90 seconds per area covered...

I also have been considering adding this modality. I have info on Quasar Pro. Their units are more costly. Anyone have experience with that brand?

I was told this was a class II device and we could not use it in Tn or Al unless we were under a doctors supervision.  I was never able to verify this information.  Does anyone know the answer to this?
