What the gurus are saying

The contact-time trade-off is the defining tension: LED treatments typically need 10-20 minutes per spot to be effective, but moving a wand across your face means each area gets far less exposure than that. Experts split on whether it's worthwhile: some appreciate it for precise spot treating and travel, where those constraints matter less; others think the limitation undermines the whole point.

"This is the Solawave, which I have used and I do love for spot treating or for travel. When you're using this, it only targets a very specific area, even when you're rubbing it all over your face. Most LED products literally state on the package that you need to use them for 10, 15, or 20 minutes in order to see results. If you're actively moving a wand like this across the skin, you're not getting 15 to 20 minutes on every single spot on your face."
