Hi Everyone, This is the Tx LED Queen, here in Plano, Tx – alias, Vicki Knutson. Just want to share some really good news for acne sufferers. Like many people out there I have suffered from break outs all my life. A little one here, a big one there – you know the painful, cystic scarring acne – it's genetic, what can I say – ouch?
I looked at alot of "natural" remedies, but started with Dermatologists in my teens _ _ years ago..Yep, I am a baby boomer (born between 1946 and 1964) and still suffer with acne!!! @*%! know what I mean? hate it. Anywho, I began looking at LED lights for anti-aging (go figure a baby boomer wanting anti-aging) but to my surprise! LED worked liked crazy at clearing up my chin hormonal/stress acne!! YEP those little white bumps that show up around the chin and jaw…hate them…before LED I suffered with them and some did leave little scars – but LED helps with this too by increasing cell turn over.
Nope! I don’t like heavy duty peels or microderm they're too abrasive (old school in my eyes) and if your prone to hyperpigmentation and capillary damage – be careful! Why? skin cells turn over every 28 days (when you’re 28!) and slow down as you age – 70? Very slow cell turn over. So yes, LED facials help with SCARS!!!
There are some acids like salicylic that work great below the surface of your face to loosen up the “mortar” (cells are like bricks and mortar and the mortar holds the cells in place – get the picture?) So, using salicylic acid cleansers (pH balanced to your ACID skin surface) yep, outside you are acidic, skin and hair prefer acidic cleansers to alkaline cleansers? Your skin and hair will dry out if the cleanser is too Alkaline– so if your skin is peeling and flaking off find a good Esthetician that knows and understands skin for a recommendation and a great skin cleanser. My favorite today is Clearing Skin Wash by Dermalogica – all their skin care products are acid so there is no need to tone the skin to return it back to its “normal pH”.
I Began the research on LED lights in 2005 when nobody but Europe believed in them. My research led me to open the www.LEDskinCAREcenter.com because the results we not only amazing for acne, but also exceptional for SAD – seasonal affective disorder, thinning hair and my wrinkles!!! sagging skin!!! age spots!!! and large pores!!! there is nothing to extract or pick anymore. I LOVE IT!
So where ever you are look for a place that can offer LED facials – they really work. However, you will need to go several times. Remember, the congestion, oil, bacteria, inflammation, etc. have been playing havoc on your face for some time. Be patient and you will glow radiantly as the weeks pass. And talk about building up your confidence…you'll look up, not down when people approach you.
I love, love what LED has done for my clients face, demeanor, and outlook on life – it totally transforms your mind and spirit.
Severe acne - about 16 treatments 2 to 3 times a week thru a series and then maintenance – depending how your hormones are acting. Stress is the #1 reason you are breaking out – our crazy, stressed hormones love producing more oil!
Moderate to light acne - about 8 treatments 2 to 3 times a week to complete your series, then maintenance. Eliminate the Stress, clean up your diet (don't care what you've been told – a dirty diet (junk food, etc.) will affect your skin – especially if you are prone to acne.
Lastly, drink, drink water – a must to help flush out the toxins… drink 1/2 your body weight in ounces daily – 100lb person should drink 50 ounces daily (water only. Not Tea, Coffee, Crystal Light (toxic yuck) etc. Yep those monsters, triple caffeine shots, red bull will not only stress your adrenals to smithereens, but ignite oil production – everything speeds up when you're “caffeined up”…
LOL, TxLEDQueen
