Are LED Treatments Safe and Effective? - Part Two

Here is the complete LED wand safety.



First let’s review a couple of things I said in my first article on LED treatments .



NASA found that optimal LED wavelengths for tissue penetration are 680, 730 and 880 nanometers (billionths of a meter). Baby Quasar uses wavelengths of 630 to 950 nm.



NASA also experimented with different levels of energy to deliver the light. They found that, at 4 joules per square centimeter, DNA synthesis in fibroblasts and muscle cells could be quintupled.



[Joule is a measure of energy. One joule is equivalent to one watt radiated for one second.]



Baby Quasar uses 2.6 joules per square centimeter. So the Baby Quasar therapy differs from NASA’s research in two ways. It uses wavelengths slightly beyond the NASA range, but delivers them with less energy.



I’ve written a second article on LED therapy in which I discuss whether its use may be preferable to laser phototherapy for skin anti-aging.
