On June first I was in a rear end collision.  I had a head laceration that required 4 staples and a sprained neck.  I am not one to take medications, so the only pain reliever I took was ibuprofen and homeopathic oral arnica and arnica in lotion form.  I found the DPL skin light indespensible!  I used it on my head laceration to reduce the swelling, reduce the pain and heal the laceration.  I iced my entire spine for 20 minutes in sections from my head to my tailbone.  Then I followed the same path with my DPL light.  I had a lot of pain between my shoulders, apparently because I couldn’t turn my head properly, and I would rest the DPL panels on my back and press the on button through 2 or 3 cycles.    I found that this greatly reduced pain and inflamation in all of the areas where I used it.  After about 5 days, I weaned myself from the ibuprofen and used only ice, arnica and the DPL light.  I’m sold on the pain relief qualities of the DPL.  A friend just called me last week to tell me that he crashed his motorcycle.  He has lost a lot of skin, so I rushed him a DPL unit.  I have total confidence that he will see rapid skin regrowth and pain reduction.  I’ll wait to hear from him and let everyone know….

I was roller blading this summer, got a blade caught in a tar snake, and I went sliding accross the pavement.  I spread out my fall by putting my arms out in front of me and must have looked like a landing superwoman.  Thank goodness for wrist guards!  I scraped many layers of skin off of my hip bones and I was in agony.  As soon as I got home, I began using my DPL by removing the panels and placing one along side each hip bone.  I pressed the on button for 3-4 cycles and felt great relief.  With daily use, my hips scabbed over that first day and the scabs fell off in 7 days! I was able to get back on the blades in record time.  Now our family uses the light almost constantly for astroturf burns (2 kids in soccer), bumps, bruises and headaches.  I love this unit!

I am 43 and suffer from acne.  I don’t believe in medication and most topicals burned my skin.  Everything makes me break out:  chocolate, sugar, wheat, sunscreen, lotion….

I have finally hit on a fabulous fix!  I have been using Nature’s Gate 3 step acne kit for about 2 months and have had good results, but I still had breakouts.  I started using the Dr Kern Beauty skin one week ago.  I use it after I wash my face and before I go to bed.  This seems to be the only time that I can consistently use it.  My face is clear for the first time in years!   My skin feels tight, clean and tingly in the best way.  I keep holding my breath waiting for the next big break out, but so far I’m happy to say that there has not been one.  I’m sold on this product!

Here is a question I get more often than you would think.  What is the best light for the treatment of Psoriasis? 

Turns out that ultraviolet A (UV A) or ultraviolet B (UV B) is the best way to use lights to treat Psoriasis.  Here is an article that appeared today on mayoclinic.org that talks about it.  http://www.mayoclinic.org/news2008-mchi/4636.html?rss-feedid=4

So which light box should I choose if I want to treat my Psoriasis? 

Most full spectrum bulbs are going to produce the UVA and UVB.  But most light box manufacturers will block the UV’s with the diffuser (that plastic thing with the diamond pattern that spreads or “diffuses” the light).  Our Port A Sun does not filter out the UV rays so that is what we would recommend.  Just make sure you get the Full Spectrum model, not the Blue Lux version.
