Dr dennis gross drx spectralite faceware pro reviews

As someone who has lived through the era of Total Request Live and hair mascara (yes, it was a thing), I am always on the hunt for anything and everything that will keep my skin looking as good as it did when I pored over the pages of the latest Delia’s catalog. From luxury creams formulated by a stem cell biologist, to microcurrent technology, and experimenting with Frownies, there is nothing I won’t test in the name of beauty (it’s also in my job description). One of my favorite discoveries is the DRx FaceWare Pro from Dr. Dennis Gross. It's an FDA-approved, three-minute LED (light-emitting diode) device that uses red light therapy to minimize the appearance of fine lines, acne, dark spots, and helps to alleviate sore muscles. Designed to be used on the face, it has significantly helped me to space out my Botox appointments from every three months to every six months.

While my complexion is getting the love it deserves, my neck and décolleté tell a different story. When I discovered that Dr. Dennis Gross makes a red light therapy version for the body—the DRx SpectraLite BodyWare Pro—I jumped at the chance to test it out. I’ve noticed a loss of elasticity in my neck, which has me reaching for turtlenecks, even as we’re heading into summer. I was eager to find out if this device will give me back the confidence I need to shed my coastal grandmother attire and embrace my Mariah Carey Butterfly-era spaghetti strap tops again.

Pros

• • Lightweight
  • Charges quickly
  • Moldable to different body parts
  • Non-invasive
  • Zero downtime
  • Does not take up significant storage space

The Drx Spectralite Bodyware Pro at a Glance

The DRx SpectraLite BodyWare Pro uses a combination of 148 red and 68 blue LED lights that work together to visibly smooth wrinkles, clear acne, reduce dark spots, and address mild pain all over your body. In just three minutes, the red light penetrates deep within the skin’s dermis to stimulate collagen production (the secret sauce that gives skin the elasticity and firmness it needs for a youthful appearance), while blue lights destroy bacteria to treat and prevent breakouts.

“What I love about this device is that it is flexible and can mold to different body parts; this helps increase the LED lights' penetration,” Dr. Dennis Gross tells us. This device delivers up to 46 uses per charge (via a USB cord) and charges in as little as 15 minutes. Within days, expect to see a reduction of acne and in two weeks, fine lines will begin to fade. The brand claims that in 10 weeks, collagen significantly builds and deep wrinkles visibly improve.

How Does Red Light Therapy Work?

Dr. Dennis Gross explains that as we age, our body’s natural ability to produce collagen slows down. “The only way to replenish these depleted collagen levels is to stimulate the skin’s own ability to make more of it, which is what red light therapy does. It triggers the cells deep within the dermis to increase their metabolic activity, leading to an increase in collagen and elastin production,” he shares. Red light therapy is an excellent treatment because it is quick, safe, easy, 100 percent painless, and requires zero downtime.

How to Use the DrX SpectraLite BodyWare Pro

1. On clean, dry skin, place the device directly onto your desired treatment area. Mold the device for a snug fit (arms, shoulders, legs, knees) or lay it flat to treat your back and chest.

2. For anti-aging and acne treatments, select the appropriate button and use it for the programmed treatment time of three minutes.

3. For muscle and joint pain, press the appropriate button and use it for the programmed time of 14 minutes.

4. The device will shut off automatically when treatment is complete.

For optimal results, use once daily per targeted area. Remember, consistency is key.

My Review

I was intimidated by the high-tech nature of this tool, so I put off testing it would require a lot of time to figure out the mechanics. However, it was straightforward and intuitive to use. The tool is ready to go right out of the box (sans charging), and all I had to do was press a button for the red light therapy to commence.

I’ve been using the device on my neck and chest for the past three weeks. In fact, I’m still using it. I appreciate how lightweight it is and that it only takes three minutes for a complete treatment. My neck and chest look firmer and less turkey-like, which is a big plus in my book. Overall, my décolleté looks less rough around the edges, and my skin appears thicker and more full of life (Goodbye, turtlenecks).

In terms of muscle and joint pain, I tested the device on my husband, who consistently experiences aching knots in his upper back. I placed the device on one of his knots, and after two minutes, the pain disappeared. We tested it a few more times each day to make sure it wasn’t a fluke, and each time it worked the same.

Final Verdict: A Must-Have

Besides the high price tag, I can’t think of any downsides to implementing the DrX SpectraLite BodyWare Pro device into your daily routine. If you have mature skin and are looking to revive your neck and décolleté area, or if you experience breakouts on your chest or back, this device is the ideal solution. Plus, you can forgo those expensive massage appointments and combat muscle pain from the comfort of your home. Once you try red light therapy, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it.
