14 DAY TRIAL // Scientists continue the search for that elusive miracle cure that can not only stop time dead in its tracks, but also reverse the damage it’s done so far. Those looking to avoid going under the knife have an almost limitless range of choices before them, from creams and lotions to non-invasive procedures. The Light Masque, which works by emitting red and near-infrared LED light all over the face, is one of them, the Daily Mail says.
At £75 a session, the Light Masque could actually leave competition in the dust, if all the claims it makes are anything even remotely close to what happens in real life. This is a futuristic gadget that claims to do almost the impossible: fight all signs of old age, including wrinkles and blemishes, but also stimulate the production of collagen, vitamin D and, more surprisingly, improve mood and leave one feeling more energized. And that’s all thanks to the LED light, which is more gentle than laser and has the most amazing results.
“I’d be pretty dubious about this preposterous list of claims, too, except for the fact that the treatment is being offered by John Tsagaris, one of London’s most intriguing independent health-and-beauty practitioners. He’s a doctor of Chinese medicine (he has a degree in traditional Chinese medicine combined with human bioscience and also holds a postgraduate diploma in skin disorders and beauty care). His work has included placements in hospitals in Beijing, where he specialized in dermatology, gynecology, cardiology and geriatrics, and he now has a clinic just off Harley Street and does the odd day at Harrods’ new MediSpa,” the Daily Mail says of the man who invented this futuristic, miracle-working gadget.
“This is something for the 21st century, using the latest NASA technology. NASA has been researching the potential of LED [light-emitting diode] light and has adapted it to use on astronauts and for the U.S. Navy. It also lifts energy levels, making patients feel full of life. This light is accelerating the energy potential of skin cells, working particularly on the mitochondria, the energy factory that is inside each cell. The light works like photosynthesis for the skin by converting light energy to promote healing and anti-ageing effects at a deep level. It also works on preventing bacteria in the skin,” Tsagaris explains for the same publication.
As per the Mail’s editor, who even used the Light Masque once to see whether it rose to the hype it generated, all it takes is 25 minutes lying on one’s back, with a pair of goggles strapped to the face. The procedure is painless, leaves no mark and, most importantly, it has results that are visible almost instantly, it us further being claimed.
