The First Case Studies

We had 4 prototypes made of LightWave CS™ and gave them to 4 people to try out for a few months. The results were amazing. Sometimes we'd ask for a light back for product photography or something, and no one wanted to give them back!

We asked our case studies to answer the following questions to be published here for your benefit. 1 - What type of acne do you have? 2 - What types of things have you tried to get rid of it? 3- How did you like using LightWave CS™ 3 - What kind of results did you experience?

I hope these experiences will give you an idea of how to use our light and what you might expect from it. After LightWave CS™ begins shipping and more people have had time to use it, you'll find more product reviews on the order page.

I have had severe acne for most of my adult life. I have tried everything to get rid of it. I think I've tried EVERY item that's sold in Drug Stores. I've tried Proactive, I've tried TimeWise and I've even tried prescriptions. Now to be fair I did see some positive results from some of them, but within a short period of time I would have to stop using them because of my sensitive skin issues. It would become and very red and at times painful so I would have to stop its use.

When I began using LightWave CS™ I was exited at how easy it was to use. I use it every day . In the morning I shine the light for 6 seconds on each area of my face the whole face takes me under a minute to do! If I do notice a blemish starting, then I make sure to give that area another round at night. I use the hand held method for me because I find it easy to direct the light right where I need it most. My results have been the best! Not only has my acne been brought under control but I haven't had any trouble with dryness, redness, or irritation! These days all I need is a little Coldcream for make-up removal and my LightWave™!

I have mild acne. Some months are worse than others. When I do breakout there may be 3 or 4 good size ones that seem to last for weeks.

I haven't tried any extensive treatments, just washing with mild face wash every day. I have also tried spot treatments usually with the active ingredient being salicylic acid or sd alcohol. I did try this proactive refining mask my sister gave me that is 6 percent sulfur. None of the spot treatments work for me and I don't bother with them anymore. I did find just the face wash alone was the only thing worth doing, until I was asked to try the light.

I started with just 6 seconds on each area of my face once a day. I noticed by the next morning that my pimples were half the size. I did bump up my usage only when I had a stubborn pimple. I would do about 10 seconds twice a day maybe about 4-6 inches from the spot where the problem pimple was. I always use the light hand held and not once did I try a spot treatment while using the light, never had to because the pimple was gone within a day or two. I currently use the light almost everyday to prevent any breakouts. Occasionally I will skip a few days and the second I feel something starting I use the light right away and it has NEVER turned into a full blown zit. I absolutely love using the light, it is so easy and it doesn't feel like a waste of time because I know it is working!

There have also been a few times I've used it on my husband and he cant believe how well it works (he's actually asked for it)! Another reason I am so happy to have this is I have a daughter who will soon be hitting puberty and can't wait to use it on her.

I have very mild acne; a few blackheads on and around nose and chin. I typically get a few pimples or a breakout when I have my menstrual cycle.

I have used Proactiv in the past which only made the problems worse. I believe I broke out more when using any type of acne or facial cleansing products and right now I dont use any cleansing wash, only eye creams and facial moisturizer.

I would use the light anytime I started to breakout. I would sit in the light for usually no more than 1-2 minutes total on each part of my face like my forehead, nose, chin and cheeks. I have used the light hand held as well as table top. I prefer the table top style just because it is easier to not have to hold the lamp.

At first I was skeptical on how a light could clear up my occasional acne but now I love using the light and have experienced great results when I use it. The results are noticed the next day. The pimple shrinks and never comes to a head. The light also diminishes the redness and swelling of the acne. I also noticed it looks as though I have more even tone skin coloration as well.
I would recommend this light to anyone looking for a way to have clearer skin without having to use expensive and time consuming products that usually only make skin look and feel worse.

I LOVE THIS LIGHT! I have moderate to sometimes severe acne. My acne has alot to do with my hormones. I have not been able to find anything that actually works until now. I have tried so many over the counter products like creams, spot treatments, scrubs, etc. I have also tried many prescriptions that just hurt and made my skin so dry I had to get another prescription to help with the dry and redness.

I use Lightwave CS™ once a day unless I have some bad pimples that needed a little more attention. I use the light for 30 seconds to a minute if it's a bad one. If it isn't too bad I use the light for 15 to 25 seconds. I use the hand held light. It's easier for me because I don't have alot of room in my bathroom and I can store it until next time. Since using the light, I don't use any other products just the light.

Lightwave CS™ is a miracle for me. I have never had anything work so well before with little effort. It is so easy. I use the light on a bad pimple and the next day the swelling is down and it doesn't hurt, just a little red mark and by the second day completely gone. There are a few I used it on and they were completely gone the next day. I highly recommend this light to anyone, it works beautifully.
