Some great info, but "World's top expert"...? Didn't you just graduate dentistry 6 years ago? Then a short time in aethetics, and now working for the company who manufactuers Dermalux? You are a brilliant and bold young marketer, that much is true.
Wish video would start out with references of solid scientific papers that demonstrate the benefit of red-light on skin. It is great that Dr Abs describes the proposed mechanism but that needs proof of benefit to skin in controlled studies
This has been so interesting. I bought the Dermalux flex two years ago for anti aging so was only interested in using it for the red and NIR. However, as someone that has NEVER suffered acne, the break out it gave me was off the scale. For months and months the breakouts kept coming. Wave after wave, even after I ceased using the device. Now I will admit to using it excessively and for elongated periods, longer than was recommended. Could that have been the issue? What you said about using red on inflammation really struck me and now I wonder whether it’s possible I got stuck in this awful cycle of accelerating results towards inflammation and break out because I was using red. Perhaps, like you said, I needed to focus only on NIR to reduce the inflammation and THEN introduce the red once it had cleared up. It’s sat unused for two years because it terrified me. Such a waste of money. I need to take tentative steps to reintroduce it especially as you cite it to be the best on the market.
Please someone explain to me, who is spending almost £2k for dermalux flex ? I was prepared to spend £300-500 for a red light therapy device, not specifically a mask, but almost £2k????
Have you looked into the Maysama LED light panel? In particular, have you listened to any interviews of the founder? After considerable research, she specifically created this light panel to use exactly the right kind of red LED light and infrared light. I'm not the only one who has experienced terrific results.
31:09 min mark: "What does the CE stand for"? Dr. Abs does know. Here's the answer: CE marking is a label that indicates that a medical device has been assessed by the manufacturer and meets European Union (EU) safety, health, and environmental protection requirements. The letters "CE" stand for Conformité Européenne, which is French for "European conformity".
I have a 16w led bulb with 630nm and 850nm output that is very bright. Should i use this 10 mts once a day? And should i cover my eyeballls as its very bright!
I used a whole body LED device (Beauty angel, looks like a tanning bed) which is supposed to have zero UV. I had tanning marks afterwards on the parts of my body that touched the surface of the bed and started sweating. I am still trying to remove these tanning spots and I immediately stopped using the beauty angel.
If anyone who puts up videos and directs you to a link on their profile tells me that they are biased to that product and are being paid a commission. You can’t take anyone completely serious unless there isn’t something in it for them.
Dr ab , I want to invite you to a discussion with industry research leaders , I recently commented on your inferences to Omnilux and you ridiculed the fact that Omnilux clear was the only mdr cleared silicon mask and that as a manufacturer I had a vested interest . You are absolutely right I have , in protecting the consumer . For that reason I want to set up a forum with you and the world leaders in LLT researchers so we can discuss your numerous statements on led . Let me know when you are free and I can get this organised . Please let’s be ready to have scientific discussions as this is what my guys will be interested in with scientific evidence to support claims to regulatory standards
As the manufacturer of masks to companies like Omni, CurrentBody etc I think any event you organise will inevitably have a bias to it as your vested interest is in selling those brands, obviously. I've already had debates about this topic in front of audiences like at The Royal College Of Physicians with clinicians from around the world who are experts in multiple fields in a brand-free and manufacturer-free setting. When there is another, you're welcome to send whoever you like.

Dearest Dr. Abs, I always follow Your videos carefully . I had met you back in the days of the Dermalux webinars that I have followed carefully in the past. In fact, over the past few years, I have become passionate about photobiomodulation. For face and neck I have been using Dermalux Flex once a day for 30 minutes for three years now. For the body I purchased a 1000 led 5 w dual chip red and infrared light panel , which I use for 20 minutes (ten minutes front and ten back). Dedicating myself to photobiomodulation therefore costs me a daily sacrifice of 50 minutes in total . I know that the dermalux flex is certified medical device, while the body panel is not . The question I wanted to ask you is as follows : do you think I am doing well to devote myself daily to photobiomodulation? I am 50 years old and very healthy so I don't have any specific problems. I am doing it with the hope that I can always be well for as long as possible and slow down the as much as possible aging . What do you think ? Do you think the platinum led or Mito panels give any benefit or are they useless in your opinion ? I would like you to talk about them in a video of yours soon
Science and research do not have answers to everything. If science and research had the answers to everything no one would be sick. Im talking about the medical industry.
Was about to buy a Currentbody 4-in-1 mask and their hair growth one, but came across your videos. Will not be going through with my purchase.. Waiting for the Dermalux face now thanks to you =) tell them to hurryyy!!!
@@gabalorpheduck3734I bought the current body one and started getting brown spots and melasma spots and red spots in my skin….yikes!!! After only using it a few times a weeks for about 3 weeks. I don’t go out in the sun and I work in a hospital so it was only the mask that did this. Anyway, It seems that omnilux is more legit
Dr Abs, what in your opinion is the most effective treatment for dented scars e.g. icepick and boxscars on cheeks? 15 sessions of microneedling did not work for me.
Great deep dive. Do you rate the celluma? It also seems to have some medical clearances. However, I understand the light nm range is not as narrow as the dermalux. Still learning.
I'd never rate it, personally. The clearances it has are pretty useless as medical CE is much more important. The power the skin receives per square centimetre is nowhere near as good as dermalux either.
I bought a mask several years ago it was $90. I used it three times and noticed a difference in the lines around my mouth. I think I'll start using it again. I stopped because of illness etc also it's heavy, hard, and plastic.
Doctor, very good of you to invite estetitians, and others, to learn more about what they are doing to their clients' faces, because none of us are their guinnie pigs for them to experiment on; just to see if their new purchased equipments really work. They should know, learn, and study (a lot) before they invest in these fancy things which us as clients will end up paying, either with our cash, our destroyed faces, or both. 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤷🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
I really respect Dr Abs HOWEVER he got quite a few things wrong about RLT which really surprised me. In particular speaking to achieving ‘exact’ wavelengths. That’s not what the research has shown. It doesn’t need to be exact to the nm, it’s a bandwidth and the benefits aren’t reduced if it’s off by 1-10nm.
Please pay attention to the video properly before suggesting I got things wrong. I literally spoke of peak tolerance figures which is exactly what you've mentioned.
Looks like an absolute waste of time to me. On the website they've not given any energy figures or key stats about the device. Looks as crap as most things out there to me. Avoid devices that you hold and move around - there's no benefit in such low energy devices when compared to something like the dermalux flex MD.
Hello Dr. Abs. Can I use Dermalux flex md immediately after washing my face and after my face is dry and then after the Dermalux flex md treatment is finished, can I use tretinoin? If you say it is better to apply something before Dermalux treatment, what would it be and which product can you recommend? Thank you. 😊😊
Sure, wash your face and make sure it's dry. Tretinoin after is no problem too. Ideally you don't want anything before treatment because if the light breaks it down into something harmful it might make the skin worse
Have you reviewed the CELLRETURN Platinum LED mask? I'd be interested in a comparison with the DermaLUX Flex but I can' find many reviews of the CellReturn product. If not, would you consider it?
I haven't made a video on it yet but mainly because the difference is so comical I'd not be able to stop laughing during the recording. Comparing them both is like comparing Donald Trump and Usian Bolt in a 100m race (Flex would be bolt in that analogy haha).
Ok but would you please tell me why? On the Celluma website they describe it as a better device. I really value your knowledge and don’t want to purchase the wrong device……
Don't use it for any longer than recommended. Maybe shorter. It didn't work for me because I got melasma. Maybe it was the heat. Not sure but I returned it
Started following you and love everything you do. My son has a keloid scar on his neck. Tried lasers, steroid injections. (Which flattened it slightly) But Nothing has worked with the red /purple color of keloid and still raised up.
You’ve just revealed yourself as a charlatan. I’m a non-French speaking, American (lol) who is not a healthcare professional, but works closely with them and even I know what CE is. Oh, brother - these naïve and gullible people watching RU-vid and being influenced by all you posers.
