I was wondering if anyone here has experience using a Philips Light Therapy Device for treating atopic dermatitis or cellulite?

Dermatitis might help take the edge off the symptoms, but cellulite? I’m afraid that one's a lost cause.

Just my two cents: it didn't do a thing for my atopic dermatitis.👎

I’ve gotta say, this Light Therapy Device really does the trick if you're dealing with joint pain or back issues! It also seems to speed up how fast scars and wounds heal, and even helps out with cellulite and broken capillaries—but you know, you've gotta use it every single day to see the real magic happen.

I've had good results with the Philips too, but I already went through my device a while back.

I was wondering if I could use a Light Therapy Device for a broken lower leg? Just a heads-up though, I've got screws and plates in my leg—one part has healed up, but the other part hasn't quite finished yet.😕

I was wondering if I could use my Philips Light Therapy Device on my shin? I’ve got some screws and plates in there right now, and I'm hoping it might help things heal up faster.
It's been about 8 weeks since my surgery.😕😕

Based on this link, it looks like you might be able to, but obviously, I'm not a doctor, so please don't take this as medical advice🤷. I can only share what my own family and I have experienced👍. We have a large Philips device at home, and honestly, it’s worth every single penny. In Austria, people even use them for medical purposes through their health insurance plans quite regularly

Hey there!
I guess I'm just feeling really unsure about everything. I'm pretty nervous, so hearing from people who have dealt with the same issues is super important to me. When you're this worried, you kind of just end up grasping at straws, right? One person says yes, another says no... it's tough.😕Thanks so much!

! I’m feeling a bit shaky about this. Honestly, I’m just nervous, so hearing from people who have dealt with similar issues really helps me find my footing. When you're this anxious, it feels like you're just shooting in the dark. One person tells you one thing, another person says something else...😕Thanks so much!
👍

Don't mention it!👍 My family has had wonderful results using various methods for pain relief and healing—there are so many success stories to tell! But since you're feeling uneasy, the absolute best move is to get a direct answer from the specific doctor you're seeing.😉

Ugh, doctors, right? It feels like they barely have enough time to give you the absolute basics, let alone actually listen when you want to ask something important... it's just how it is, I guess. That’s why I love coming here! With all you wonderful people sharing what you know, I feel like I might actually walk away a little bit smarter. Maybe!
Thanks a million!😉

My family actually has some firsthand experience with this product.
It’s mostly helpful when you're trying to ease a specific condition or perhaps speed up the healing process—though, I suppose, one really needs to be consistent and persistent with it; otherwise, you probably won't notice much of an effect at all.
Now, I don't necessarily want to badmouth the brand, but for instance, it wasn't particularly useful for my mother when she was dealing with those intense bouts of back pain from her spine issues (it's a long story).

As far as cellulite goes, it’s almost entirely ineffective—I mean, anything the device is meant to do, you could just do to yourself manually, so you might see some fleeting improvement, but that's about it.

For me, it was a lifesaver for severe neck pain right at the base of my skull—especially when I had already exhausted other therapies like ultrasound or laser treatments. When I went for my follow-up with the neurologist at the Mayo Clinic—since I deal with a few other health issues, I asked her about potential side effects or safety concerns—she actually gave me a glowing recommendation to use the Light Therapy Device to help manage the pain. You absolutely have to be disciplined about it. I use it every single day for about ten minutes, and after a month, my pain dropped by at least 80%! My mom even used the light to treat gum disease that was threatening to leave her toothless; now, all her teeth are rock solid. It helped with ear infections, sinus issues, and even stiff toes... I could go on forever, but those are just the experiences from my family. Of course, it probably depends on the severity of the damage or the specific type of inflammation or pain you're facing.🤷 I haven't tried it for cellulite.🤷🙄

That definitely depends on the situation.
Though, if we're talking about cellulite, you'd likely need to be a bit more proactive with your routine. 😁

Someone on a similar thread claimed this triggers tumors if those cells are already present. How much truth is there to that?

Supposedly, it’s true—and honestly, why go looking for trouble just to prove a point? Better safe than sorry, right? Usually, during the sales pitches, they'll tell you straight up that you shouldn't use it to treat actual tumors. The logic is that since it affects healthy cells the same way it hits the bad ones, you might accidentally cause a tumor to grow faster or spread.

I've actually had mine for years now, though I'm pretty lazy about actually using it... but when I do, it's great for stuff like acne, little scars, scratches, or easing skin irritation. It also helps with headaches and sinus issues... that’s about the extent of my toolkit, anyway.

Maybe they expect you to go for a jog while holding the Light Therapy Device. 😁

@ electricwalker35
It’s easy for them to claim they aren't treating tumors during presentations, but what happens when someone doesn't even realize they have one and treats the area as if it were healthy? Is it really worth playing that kind of game?

Does anyone here actually know if this Light Therapy Device can help heal open wounds after surgery—specifically when there's a staph infection involved?

thanks

It’s not a cure.

Look, while you follow every single treatment plan recommended by your doctor, this thing might—but definitely doesn't have to—give the wound a little extra help during the healing process.

It’s hard to give a straight answer without more context, though. If I were looking at this properly, I'd need to know things like the patient's actual health profile, what kind of surgery we're talking about here, any underlying conditions or current meds, the specific culture results from the swab, the antibiotic sensitivity report, and basically everything else the medical team has done so far.
