Just blinking yellow lights

Janet M. Neigel, MD answers: Could LED skin treatment damage my eyes?

I have had two LED skin treatments.  Damp cotton pads and goggles are placed over my eyes during the LED treatment, but the strobe lights are so bright that is is uncomfortable.  I have some concern about my eyes. 

Are there any reports of eye damage from the light?

No eye damage has been reported with LED treatments. We use the Gentlewaves LED and have been very pleased with the results.  You should not do this if you get migraines or seizures.
