How to Compare Home Use LED Devices

Hi,

I am looking to purchase a home LED system to work on fine lines and wrinkles and I read that you have a Baby Quasar. Is that correct?

Do you have any opinion on the LightStim product that is out there?

Thank you!

=============================================

Hi Deirdre,

That's correct. I’ve been using my Baby Quasar for almost three years and am still sold on its effectiveness.

I took a look at the LightStim wands and concluded that the Baby Quasar is a better buy.

Retail price for each LightStim wand is $350; while the retail price for a Baby Quasar is $400.

The most important points of technical comparison for LED phototherapy devices are wavelengths, joueles and treatment convenience.

The better home use LED devices deliver wavelengths in the 630 to 1000 nm range (near-infrared to infrared range) at a power of at least 2 joueles per square centimeter. (Joule is a measure of energy. One joule is equivalent to one watt radiated for one second.)

Wavelengths
The LightStim anti-aging amber LED wand uses orange/red wavelengths (for fine lines and wrinkles) and infrared (beyond red - to even skin tone) as does the Baby Quasar. Wavelength details are not available on the LightStim website.

The Baby Quaser (red anti-aging wand) uses:

• 632 nm orange visible light to smooth fine lines;
• 650 nm red visible light to reduce wrinkles; and
• 880-950 nm infrared light (which is beyond the visible spectrum) to erase age spots, reduce redness and even out skin tone. The wand shows a green indicator light for user convenience.
