Hydraskincare PDT LED Red Light Therapy for Face Mask Facial Skin Care Rejuvenation Photon Therapy Machine

This is a long term, 2.5 year review on the LED Light Therapy panel with pictures of results for acne on an adult, female, dense thick skin, and combination (dry and oily) skin. The photo uploaded was my long term results using this LED Panel. There are dates of when the pictures were taken. No makeup was worn in these photos except for lip balm.I can’t comment on results for aging or sagging skin since I used this device to treat acne. This review may not be for everyone but I hope to help others who suffer with skin problems by sharing what worked for me.My lifelong journey with acne started at the age of 13 with tiny spots here and there, by 15 I became invested in makeup for cover. At 16, I read almost every article online and that lead me to dietary controls for acne. Age 17, I cleared my skin by cutting out processed sugars from my diet. It worked until college when I had the biggest cystic breakout. I was no longer eating sugars, so why the breakouts?I started to use Retin-A around age 19. Everyone said that Retin-A had a “purging” period but after 3 months, Retin-A destroyed my face. I gave up. Feeling defeated, I discovered the acne.org community. Age 20, I finally ordered any BP (Benzoyl Peroxide) product available on the market; Proactiv, Neutrogena, acne.org, you name it. Started using some BHA (Salicylic Acid) and AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acids) to deal with PIH (Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation) and I got decent results with that regimen. After a year of consistently using BP, BHA, AHA; I worried about the long term effects on my skin.I wanted a cure. Was it even possible? My skin felt like leather. The products bleached my clothes and made applying makeup an arduous process. Sure, there were no breakouts… but my skin was parched and taking forever to heal!I read “The Clear Skin Prescription” by Dr. Nicholas Perricone and began to eat low-glycemic foods, eventually weening off of the topical chemical products. I got my blood sugar under control and switched from liquid foundation to mineral powder foundation. My skin got better with each discovery and each change. I also learned that low level stress caused some of my breakouts and began implementing regular de-stress activities; breathing exercises, playing musical instruments, and engaging in hobbies to relax.It worked! I had the best skin of my young adult life by the time I was 22-23 years old. Barely any need for makeup, a welcomed change! Life for the next 4 years in terms of skin, was a miracle with only the need for an occasional spot treatments here and there. I thought it was all behind me. Alas, it was but a dream.Adult onset acne….. Why?!Age 27, I was haunted. It was now back to the topical chemical products with full force. I wanted...needed... to beat this monster into submission. I was desperate to save myself. This time, the war was evident and the texture of my skin forever changed. 2 years of nothing working. I was at wits end.There's one good thing about getting older: the internet had evolved and so did skincare. There was now an array of products, articles, and gurus online. A new generation of scientists, engineers, and skincare junkies. A new generation of those suffering from acne too.Korean skincare had overtaken not just the web, but the world. Here’s what I learned:1. Irritation of any kind, no matter how mild, leads to inflammation.2. Be extra gentle at all times; while washing your face, applying product, or extracting.3. If you must pop pimples, do so in the morning and not at night. Injuries that happen at night take twice as long to heal as injuries in daylight.4. Moist skin helps skin heal. Keep your skin moist.5. Dry skin slows down healing, avoid drying out your skin to speed up healing.Okay, but what about the scars? The YouTube algorithms recommended PBM (Photo Bio Modulation) LED Light Therapy for healing sports injury and surgical scars. Wait, so light can heal injuries? I had seen anti-aging LED masks but they seemed gimmicky. LED can heal sports injuries or surgical scars? It got me thinking 🤔I learned that PBM was used on plants by Nasa in outer space to see its affect on cell growth. For humans, different colored (wavelength) lights could penetrate our cells and power up the Mitochondria (power house of our cells). These same wavelengths of light were delivered by the Sun and through technology capable of being delivered using LEDs too; without any of the harmful bands (UVA and UVB). Modernity causes vitamin D deficiencies. Our increasing indoor life meant we only get a fraction of necessary Sun light.Here’s what I learned about PBM LED Light Therapy:1. Different wavelengths of light target different depths of the skin.2. Red LED Light stimulates the Mitochondria in your cells, which speeds up healing.3. Blue LED Light kills bacteria on the skin, which is good for getting rid of acne.4. Combination of Red and Blue LED light used together is more effective for acne rather than using one color light at a time.5. A minimum of 15 minutes of treatment is recommended.6. Less treatment time is needed the more Joule of light is delivered to the skin.7. Green Tea has EGCG anti-oxidant which prevents free radical damage from PBM LED Light Therapy Treatment. Soaking your skin in Green Tea for 20 minutes before PBM LED Light Therapy treatment, makes the treatment 10x times more effective. (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19817517/)I had to try a PBM Light Therapy Device. It was Covid Lockdowns worldwide, so why not? With all this new found information, I threw all of my skincare products out and started from a clean slate.My first PBM Light Therapy Device, I purchased from Amazon. It was one of those hard white plastic facial masks with the eye and lip cut-outs. I paid $151 for it. I had high expectations and used the LED Mask every day for a month (20 treatments) with little to no results. It was a HUGE disappointment. The seller was kind enough to refund me.Purchasing the correct PBM Light Therapy Device is so important!I would NOT recommend those White Hard Plastic LED Masks, they're not powerful enough. Versatility is important. It wouldn’t let me do dual combination lights, so no Red + Blue LED treatments which some studies say is more powerful. If you're going to pay a lot of money, you want to think about other use cases like the neck, back, shoulders, or arms for wound healing, injuries, joint or muscle pains to get the most bang for your buck.I saw people recommending the “Celluma Pro” ($1,795) for the best results. The photo results from the Celluma website made me believe it could work. I was hesitant to cough up that kind of money, $1,785 was outrageous. There was a device with almost the exact same specifications as the “Celluma Pro” right here on Amazon. The review that convinced me to try the device was from a user who owned both the “Celluma Pro” and “Hydraskincare PDT” but preferred the “Hydraskincare PDT”.I purchased “Hydraskincare PDT LED Light Photodynamic Facial Skin Care Rejuvenation Photon Therapy Machine” on February 25, 2021 for $302 intent on recording the results. I wanted to document it. Prove once and for all, to myself, whether any of this really works and whether or not I was wasting money. I was tired of claims with no visual evidence. The Celluma website inspired me to photograph my journey with LED Lights.The “Hydraskincare PDT” arrived at my front door well packaged, functioned out of the box, setup was fast and easy, instructions clear. I did run into one problem though; one of the plastic legs that attaches to the metal bar to create the Panel's stand wouldn’t fit completely. I tried switching it to the other side but it didn't fix the issue.It was a manufacturing defect, but LED Panel was perfect and that was all I cared about. I tested the light and it's freaking bright! Make sure to put on sunglasses if you're looking directly at the panel, or wear the provided blackout lens during use. This panel was at least 2x brighter than the previous brand I tried. The LED panel gets warm to the touch after 5 minutes of usage, but doesn’t burn your skin.Tip: For best results, I recommend getting the panel as close as you can to your skin. The closer the light, the more energy it delivers to the cells. I wrap the panel directly onto my face, pressed up against the skin with 1-2 inches away max.After 3 treatments I saw and felt a difference in my skin. It was less irritated, looked brighter and less dry. Incredible! Encouraged by the results, I kept using it religiously, experimenting with different color combinations and length of treatment along with an updated gentle skincare regimen. Within a few weeks, I stopped breaking out and I could see the PIH went away. My skin was healing fast.After 3 months of the LED Light Treatment + gentle Korean Skincare Products, my skin felt balanced for the first time in my entire life. It felt like a dead fish… like cold dead fish. It was no longer inflamed, irritated, red, and hot to the touch. Just moisturized, soft, and cold. There was no itching, no dry flaky skin, no oily clogged feeling. The irritation was gone. My skin felt completely inert like it had reached equilibrium.The first photo was taken on Jan 2021 when my skin was at its worst. I was still using harsh skincare products at that time. I didn’t buy the "Hydraskincare PDT" until almost 2 months later after this photo was taken.The second photo taken on June 2021 was after using "Hydraskincare PDT" panel for only 2 months with my updated skincare regimen. I purchased the panel on February but didn't start treatments until April after I had returned the first led mask with the hard plastic.The third photo was taken on May 2022 months after I had stopped regularly using the “Hydraskincare PDT". I was using the device off and on randomly. The panel + skincare combination healed my skin, and it got rid of so much of the PIH and discoloration. It changed my skin for the long term.My current skincare routine I use with the “Hydraskincare PDT” hasn't changed. I will list the method and products I use below.80 Min Regimen:1. Use new cotton sheet mask soaked in “Is’n Tree - Green Tea Fresh Toner 200ml” for 20 minutes on your face. Remove cotton sheet mask.2. Wrap LED Panel tightly around your face, turn on LED RED Light for 20 minutes.3. Spray “Is’n Tree - Green Tea Fresh Toner 200ml” on your face. (I use a spray mist pump cap with 24-410 thread attached to the toner bottle, so I don’t waste product. You could also just use an empty spray bottle filled with the toner or just swipe with cotton balls/pads)4. Wrap LED Panel tightly around your face, turn on LED Blue Light for 20 minutes.5. Spray “Isntree - Green Tea Fresh Toner 200ml” on your face. (Or wipe with cotton balls/pads)6. Wrap LED Panel tightly around your face, turn on LED Red+Blue Light for 20 minutes.7. Moisturize with “Peach and Lily - Matcha Pudding Antioxidant Cream 50ml” or “Is’n Tree - Green Tea Fresh Emulsion 120ml”.It’s a lot of steps. I recommend doing this at night before bed time. If you’re too busy, then I recommend the shortened version below.40 Min Regimen:1. Use new cotton sheet mask soaked in “Is’n Tree - Green Tea Fresh Toner 200ml” for 20 minutes on your face. Remove cotton sheet mask.2. Wrap LED Panel tightly around your face, turn on LED RED+BLUE Light for 20 minutes.3. Moisturize with “Peach and Lily - Matcha Pudding Antioxidant Cream 50ml” or “Is’n tree - Green Tea Fresh Emulsion 120ml”.For immediate results, start the treatments every other day for the first month. Then everyday for the second month, and then once every week for maintenance thereafter. I also recommend LED Light treatment breaks for two or three weeks. Your skin adapts to the LED Light and makes it less effective overtime by plateauing; taking a break allows you to reset effectiveness.Is’nTree is one of my favorite Korean Skincare product lines, they are a clean beauty brand. Their Green Tea toner is Holy Grail status with great ingredients and very little filler. Together with the LED Panel, these two products alone has changed my skin. I recommend buying Is’n Tree products through YesStyle for better pricing, but they are also sold here on Amazon if you want faster shipping.Yesstyle.com(YesStyle regularly has 20-25% off sales)Is’n tree Green Tea Fresh Toner 200ml - $18.40Is’n tree Green Tea Fresh Emulsion 120ml - $18.30PeachandLily.comPeach and Lily Matcha Pudding Antioxidant Cream 50ml - $40(Peace and Lily is expensive, but their Matcha Pudding Cream is holy grail status. I recommend IsnTree Green Tea Fresh Emulsion as a cheaper alternative for the budget conscious. Matcha Cream is a heavier cream compared to Green Tea Emulsion.)Amazon.comFrcolor 100 Pieces Compressed Disposable Facial Mask Home DIY Skin Care - $13.99(this is for the Green Tea facial soaking prior to treatment. Amazon offers regular sales.)Overall, I’m very happy with my purchase. The photos speak for themselves. My skin has completely changed without using any harsh chemicals and for a fraction of the price. If you are suffering from Acne and have a similar skin type, I would highly recommend purchasing this LED Therapy Device. It’s no joke, it works.Important Tip:I would NOT recommend using the Red LED Light Color on this device if you get acne from ingrown facial hair. The RED LED light speeds up the cells in your body, which includes hair growth. If you get acne from ingrown hair, the RED LED light could possibly make your acne worse. I noticed my eyebrows growing in thicker and faster. For acne sufferers from ingrown hair, I only recommend using the BLUE LED light color.Product Improvement Suggestions:It would be nice to have the panel be semi-rigid and hold it’s shape; making it possible to mold the panel and keep it’s shape during treatment like the Celluma Pro. A wireless remote to set the LED Color and Timer instead of the wired one; less tangles during treatment and storage. More LED bulbs tightly packed for even faster treatment times.Product Packaging: 4/5 StarsLED Panel: 5/5 StarsLight Energy: 4.8/5 StarsEffectiveness: 5/5 StarsPanel Stand: 4.5/5 StarsPrice: 5/5 StarsFinal Verdict: 5/5 Stars

I have been using Photon Therapy Machine for 6 months.I used it on myself and on my facial customers.Red light is what I used mostly for customer’s Facial Skin Anti-Aging purpose, and for my own skin rejuvenation and Vitiligo skin condition I have.PhotoTherapy is one of the treatment suggested for Vitiligo skin Hypopigmentation.Per online research:Visible red light has been shown to stimulates melanocyte migration and proliferation resulting in repigmentation. I do found my white spots got less white, closer to natural skin tone.This Photon Therapy is SUPER easy to operate: lightweight to carry/transport; flexible bend to wrap around waistline/back with velcore fasteners come with it, or place on stand for the face.After just 1 use of 20~30 min on my own face, ( after shower, on clean face, no skincare) I do see my skin more even tone, skin looks less fatigue, like I had a good night of sleep; after 2nd time use I see my forehead expressions vertical wrinkles less deep, my eyes less dry and less fatigue. I was VERY HAPPY about the result it delivered.Many time I would wrap it around my back or just place the whole strip bend on my lap/joint where it’s sore and aching while I browse my phone/watch TV, soreness/aching do go away faster.I do felt this (Red) light calms and soothe both physically and emotionally.I added this light therapy to my facial customers at the end of facial, it’s add on value to the service,I also found my thigh has broken capillary look like dense tree root, is 70% gone after 6 months of use, 2~3 time a week. Very glad I made this purchase.

Update: I bought this for a good friend for her birthday. She love this. It works in restoring the elasticity and youthfulness of her skin. I gave her some time to see results. She saw my results. However, was skeptical at first. She is dedicated to using. I have increased my time under the lights to 40 minutes at a time. Better results. Amazing. I am very grateful for this product.My previous review:I am in my late 40's. I live in AZ so hydrated moist skin is not always the case being so dry climate wise. I had an appointment with a Hollywood skin specialist. They said that all I needed with my fair, sensitive skin to reverse aging is more Omega 3 Oil (Fish), More water and LED skin lights. I immediately started doing research and this product received great reviews from skin professionals. I decided it was a great price and I liked that it can be placed directly on the skin and lay flat for storage.I have been using this product since the last week of May 2022. I use 4 times a week on my face/neck. The results are amazing! So much so, that clients and friends are shocked at how much more youthful I look. They want to know what I have been doing. I bought a second one of these so I can do 2 body areas at once. They are 20 minute cycles. My fine lines are gone, my skin looks hydrated, glowing and tighter. My friends and clients have mentioned I look like I reduced 10 years. I look like I am in my late 20's. My freckles are also disappearing. I use all the color lights to make 7 colors each time. I highly recommend!

Bright and powerful, easy to use, versatile, great price in comparison to similar led light therapy devices on the market.I can’t say for certain that this panel is what cleared my horrible cystic chin acne that exploded last year, but while using this led light panel and benzoyl peroxide gel (no gel on while under the lights!), I finally was able to overcome it. Now I believe it’s helping heal the carnage that was left behind!The only tricky thing is squeezing in time to sit under the lights!
