How To Activate Iphone Health Steps

hello, i'm dr. neal schultz [pause] and welcome to dermtv. last week the federal trade commission finallyordered

How To Activate Iphone Health Steps, two businesses to stop marketing their acnesmartphone apps, which they not so smartly marketed as curesor effective treatment. this is really interesting because it’sthe first time the ftc has ever targeted apps for making fraudulenthealth claims.

the los angeles times reported that the ftcsaid that the two apps — acneapp and acne pawner — both claimed totreat blemishes by emitting colored lights. the app userswere told to activate the apps on their phone and then hold the phone tothe part of the skin with the acne breakouts for a few minutesa day. acne pawner, which was available in the androidmarket for 99 cents, ran ads urging readers to “kill acne withthis simple yet powerful tool.” acneapp, which was available on itunes for$1.99, claimed that it was developed by a dermatologist

using red and blue light treatments whichwere allegedly validated by the british journal of dermatology. butthe ftc concluded that … and i quote… “the perported medicalbenefits were baseless.” yes there are reputable reports in peer reviewedmedical journals such as the british journal of dermatologythat demonstrate the efficacy of medical devices emitting coloredlights to improve acne and even other conditions. but, my dermtv viewers and i know this ftcaction hardly comes as a surprise since almost 2 years ago

in the dermtv episode titled, “are at-homeled skin care devices effective,” i said and even demonstrated that the power, the energy and the actualquality of the lights in the smartphone apps just weren’t thesame as they are in professional devices, and therefore justcouldn’t be effective. you’ve heard me say this before, but ifsomething seems too good to be true, it probably isn’t.buyer beware.
