Depending on how large an area your acne covers it can be hard to find time to use it for 15 mins each day on each affected area.
Has to be plugged in. It would be far more convienient if battery operated so that you could walk around with it when using it & carry on with other tasks
Pros:
Cordless & rechargeable
No refills to buy like Zeno, which I use to spot treat.
Noticeable in about a week! but I'm using other stuff too, b/c I was scared to quit BP! (see below)
Cycles from blue to red after 5 min, so you don't have to time it...You can switch colors mid use with a push of a button if you want to change sooner or only use blue or red.
It really seemed to work after a week of use 20 min a day, 10 blue, 10 red, extra blue on severe areas!
Cons:
Expensive (like all acne treatments!)
Light therapy is kind of time consuming.
I wish the light covered a larger area of my face, so that I wouldn't have to wave it around.
Pros:
It decreased pimples
No side effects
I went from Moderate Cystic acne to light acne
Can do it in the privacy of your own home...no trips to Derm.
