Table Top Acne Lights
Published by Louanna on August 15, 2009 06:53 pm under Acne Light Buyer’s Guides Edit
Table top acne lights have been around for years. These lights are more affordable than the hand-held type, and they cover a much larger treatment area, making them more convenient for those with moderate-severe acne.
Table-top type acne lights are more affordable than their hand-held counterparts, however they lack the portability many people need today.
Like the hand-held chart, this is a “real-life” type of chart, designed to reveal things that are going to matter to you over time, such as warranty, cost of replacement bulbs, and return policy details.
The chart also assumes each product will be effective when used as directed and they should be, for about 86% of people.
