LED Light Treatments Combined with Green Tea Cream Smooth Facial Wrinkles 10xs Faster

Baby QuasarKaren told me she has been getting amazing results with her Baby Quasar LED Wand. She applies a concentrated Green Tea extract (EGCG) face cream before each treatment and is convinced the combination is the key.

She sent me a fascinating article published last September by the American Chemical Society titled
Baby Boomers Boon? LED Light and Green Tea Cream Smooth Facial Wrinkles.

“Scientists in Germany are reporting a major improvement in their potential new treatment for facial wrinkles that could emerge as an alternative to Botox and cosmetic surgery. The non-invasive technique combines high-intensity light from light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and a lotion made of green tea extract. It works ten times faster than a similar anti-wrinkle treatment that uses LEDs alone, the researchers say.”

The researchers explained that, while phototherapy has been used for over 40 years to help heal wounds, high-intensity LEDs are also known to generate high levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that can potentially damage cells. To counteract the negative side effect of LED treatment, they applied a lotion high in the potent antioxidant found in green tea extract, epigallocatechin gallate or EGCG.

I’ve ordered some EGCG face creams for testing and will post our results ASAP.
