    I am so glad you are addressing this! It seems that facial fat loss is a hot topic right now and rather than using common sense and looking at the mechanisms at question, misinformation spreads and with it panic.
    Personally I love LED therapy and use it almost daily

    I have been using the at home face and neck devices from Omnilux for over 12 months now (as directed) and feel that there is definitely an increase in skin thickness and bounce and definitely no loss of facial fat at all. I know my skin thickness is definitely better than most my age

    I own a omnilux and been happy with it. I just want to mention that I did put the mask (since it's flat) across my abdomen where all my stretch marks developed 25 yrs ago from my pregnancy. I have to say it did seem effective in improving the look & skin there.

      How does the mask rest on your face? Are there certain pressure points on it that make using it uncomfortable? I had this issue with another mask and want to prevent buying Omnilux if it also has this :)

      @@isabellavantichel4459 I don't think it is uncomfortable but because it is not contoured, it doesn't curved around the forehead up to hairline at the top of the head. So I hold hold down with my hand at the forehead to make closer contact. I think you can prob get a band to hold it down too, but It's not a problem for me since I am usually laying down when I do the mask anyways. I would say that I would take this trade off in order to have a flat mask that you can also put on other parts of the body.

    I have a red light panel I purchased and had tucked away. I decided to pull it out weeks ago and used it morning and night for 2 weeks. I experineced fat loss on my face and it was clearly visible to the point of having shadowing and sunken areas to my face. I decided not to use any more at home devices and just pursue treatment of any kind to my face with a highly qualified dermatologist/plastic surgeon. I think even though there may be trials performed stating no risks, we are all built differently. As the saying goes, its safe and effective until an adverse reaction happens to you.

    I believe the issue with all the controversy regarding fat loss really comes down to age. We start losing fat in our faces at a young age. So someone in their 30s is going to naturally lose fat in their faces, which will decrease even more in their 40s. But it's possible they may be blaming devices for for what is naturally occurring with the aging process. Because many of us in our 50s and 60s who use the devices (who had already experienced fat loss) have good results with devices, whether it's red light therapy, microcurrent or RF. There may be exceptions to this, but I'm very curious what studies would show if they split the studies up into age groups, over a year or 2 period.

I have done all type of fractional, non-fractional lasers, ultrasounds for skin tightening, plasma, CO2, you name it!! and I have been using Omnilux for at least 2 years. No fat loss whatsoever. My skin is almost scarless by now and I have no wrinkles as all these treatments have helped me produce more collagen than normal for my age. Red light has also helped me in treating hair loss when menopause started (along with mesotherapy). In all, it's only when I lose too much weight that I find that age shows in my face.

    Unfortunately there is (still) a great deal of confusion in the RLT community. It all started with researchers not differentiating between Power and Time and only stating total power (Joule) in their research. The issue (that anyone with basic understanding of physics should know) is that you can have high watt - low time and vice versa resulting in the same total power, but results not nedlessly the same. This becomes even more critical for RLT theraphy by lasers (LLLT) for which I have a great deal of experience with. Having said that, reading new papers especially regarding adverse IR effects - I highly suspect the potential damage comes from just that; too high radiation - whether it’s simply by function of heat or other mechanisms I dare not speculate, but it is probably not a a bad idea to have some distance to the source and use a fan to cool off exposed parts.

Same can happen just by watching lying in bed and watching a show on my cell or laptop. It's so incredibly uncomfortable for one but also so stressful because you don't know if the red splotches are just temporary or if they will be permanent.

But in the 1st reddit post, the lady was in her early 40s, and the change she saw happened over 3 years. Isn't that just natural ageing? The second lady was in her mid-30s, and the change she saw was over years, too. During that time, she mentioned using a radiofrequency device and experiencing stress....plus the passage of time. It would be incredible if these home devices could freeze us from the point that we start using them. But that just isn't the case. Despite using the best creams and using every device under the sun, we're going to continue to wrinkle and sag.

One of the ladies is in her 40s. Isn't that, unfortunately, a time when we can expect to see sagging and fat loss.

    I’ve been looking at a mask device too, and have been very apprehensive about ordering one, with the number of people that keep posting all over UA-cam,reddit, etc about having experienced facial fat/volume loss.
    I realise that the very vast majority of people using these devices are not experiencing that, but there seem to be enough people experiencing this same phenomenon that it may be a very real, albeit small risk for some - even if they are outliers.
    So given this, and given that the anecdotes of this fat loss (as well as the anecdotes of hyperpigmentation) seem attributable to the near-infrared aspect of these red light devices (and with most of the masks emitting both red and NIR light from the same led bulbs by default), wouldn’t it be more prudent for me to look at a mask where you can select to have red-only light, without the NIR at the same time? (Such as the Aduro mask).
    Appreciate any feedback on this point.
    And if anyone has any suggestions of other red-only masks, or masks where you can separate red from NIR, that would be great to hear too!

The recommended treatment from the manufacturer (Cleopatra) was for 15 minutes and I used it for only five minutes, with 4 days between uses. Have you ever heard of this?

  • @Zarasmadhouse
    @Zarasmadhouse Рік тому +11

    As many people as many opinions right. I can say from my own experience that this type of aging (volume loss, sagginess, hollowness) can happen quite rapidly. We all have different background and genetically better or worse skin, environment we live in, what we put in our bodies but most of all- stress and life experiences. Fmy example- always healthy, radiant skin no problems, skinny face though and after my first pregnancy 1 year post partum including an extreme year of life related stresses. I paid attention to my face at only 31 and I became hollow! My under eye was so sunken I didn't know who it was just by looking at my eye area. Then another pregnancy at 33, 1 year post partum with again more life stress plus serious pregnancy and premature newborn health issues. After my 34th birthday my whole face became so skinny and the tightness was visibly gone. Especially around the sides of my lips and my jaw. And I haven't used any of the devices at all. The world has gone crazy and women in mid 30s go for mini or midi face-lift. But it doesn't come from nothing because after 30 is when we already start losing elasticity, tightness, everything changes. There are so many mini changes happening in our bodies pretty much daily, if we pay attention to ourselves we notice them as previously with less awareness of it and less fixation on beauty and youth, it wouldn't have even been an issue or anything to waste time thinking about. So yes you can be 30 and already start losing face shape and fat deposits. You can be 32, 35 and notice major difference. It doesn't need to be over 40 and a slow process that happens in some step by step way. It can be sudden, unexpected, all at once kind of thing. And you know it doesn't matter. There's so many things that can be done but also nothing needs to be done to enjoy the fact that we are still around on this planet.

    • @coriolisky
      @coriolisky Рік тому +4

      I think it's a bit of Column A and Column B. I have no doubt that some people are just unaware of the changes in their faces as they get older. However, the field of dermatology is quite a young one, and there are still things that baffle the majority of doctors. For example: retinol. It works really well for some, and has disastrous effects for others. I wouldn't be so quick to deny everything the average person has to say, even if medical science has yet to confirm it.

    Red light therapy is being promoted as a treatment for some common skin conditions. It’s still an emerging therapy but holds a lot of promise. If you’re interested in RLT treatment, it’s best to first discuss this with your healthcare provider or dermatologist. Your skin professional will examine your skin first and then confirm a diagnosis. Then, you’ll work together to discuss treatment options that'll achieve your desired result. Options may or may not include red light therapy. Never hesitate to ask your healthcare provider about treatment options - including if you have an interest in a particular therapy, if it’s appropriate to use for your skin condition and if it’s safe and effective.

    • @sebasalek1
      @sebasalek1 Рік тому +11

      Yes, that's true, but PLEASE check the wavelengths your device is emmiting!
      The ones you want (which turned out to be beneficial) are 630, 660, 810, and 850nm (red + near IR)
      AVOID using the device if you have wavelengths around 400nm because that is ultraviolet light that will cause premature aging and damage to your DNA! (those wavelengths are necessary for plants to grow stronger, but are quite harmful to our skin)
      I'm also making my own fixture (it's MUCH cheaper and will have a lot more power than the domestic ones), but I'm being very careful and cautious with the LED and power selection, because I don't want to make any mistake that I may regret in the future. JUST BE CAREFUL, OK? This is not a joke, we are dealing with our own health by doing this!!
      More power does not mean "better"...
      There is a therapeutic dose with these treatments. If you go below that dosage, you may not have any improvement. And if you go over that dose (by overdose), you will have unwanted effects or even damage!!

    Yes, the redness, bumps, 'spots' and inflammation all disappeared. It was REALLY bad for years. Now there's no sign of it, just normal smooth skin except on my nose sometimes, that still flares up a little. When it does I take a few grams extra. It really seems related to bad digestion for me. After researching I've concluded it was due to compression of the vagus nerve which interfered with stomach acid and pancreatic enzyme production so I couldn't break down proteins especially, which then entered the blood causing inflammation. I've worked on alignment of my jaw and neck for the last year to alleviate this and gastric reflux has basically stopped. All due to extraction retraction braces. Sorry probably TMI!
