[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have the Dr. Denis Gross led mask.  It does marginally improve my skin texture when I consistently use it but it’s not enough of a difference that I would recommend if $500 is a lot of money to you.[/quote]

My Cosmetic Derm, who I would trust with my life, said something along the lines of 'use it 5 times a week for 40 years and let me know if you think it made a difference' [/quote]

Meaning what, your derm doesn’t think the mask makes an appreciable difference? [/quote]

I don't think anyone knows if these things make any appreciable difference (other than taking money from people who will pay anything for a quick fix).

I mean, we absolutely know if these things make an appreciable difference. They are FDA-approved for anti-aging purposes, which means the FDA believes them to treat signs of skin aging.

And fwiw, no dermatologist I know of (whether my own derms I've spoken to or ones I follow) believes these to be a "quick fix." I second the poster who said their dermatologist said it was more for routine maintenance. No one is buying a red light mask thinking they will get the same results as laser facial and botox, and no dermatologist is telling them to expect those kinds of results.[/quote]

I think you need a lesson in what FDA cleared means for medical devices. FDA cleared (which any home use device is) for medical devices has no bearing on whether or not something is actually effective, it only has bearing on whether or not they believe a device is safe for use.
