Omnilux LED

LED (light-emitting diode) light therapy is a non-invasive treatment that enters the skin’s layers to improve the skin. We offer 2 different types of LED. Ominlux and Heallite.

 

Ominlux

Omnilux revive2™ transmits red light (633nm) for a variety of applications including skin rejuvenation / wrinkle reduction, acne (anti-inflammatory), dyschromia of the skin such as pigmentation and rosacea, and Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) for the treatment of certain non-melanoma skin cancers[1]. Omnilux revive2 has both a rejuvenating and anti-inflammatory effect on the skin. Proven to increase cellular energy (ATP) which in turn “kick starts” cellular renewal. Highly absorbed by fibroblasts increasing the synthesis of collagen it has also been proven to stimulate blood circulation and lymphatic flow to eliminate toxins, accelerate healing and calm the skin.

Omnilux blue™ transmits blue light (415nm) for the treatment of acne vulgaris and sun damage. Omnilux blue is successfully used to activate coproporhyrin III present in the P.acnes bacteria. Its versatility also allows it to be used to activate the photosensitizer 5-Aminolevulinic acid in the treatment of superficial actinic keratosis[1]

 

How does LED work?

LED works by activating the mitochondria (energy factories) of your skin cells. The same way that the sun works on a sunflower by converting chlorophyll into energy for it to grow and flower. Interestingly, LED technology was first formulated by NASA to increase astronaut health while they were up in space. The treatments then progressed to aid in the recovery of wounds and post-surgical scar treatment.

Think of the LED healite as the trigger to initiate the healing response in your skin, meaning that the effects will continue long after your appointment. Through the stimulation of collagen and elastin, as well as new skin cell formation and calming of inflammation, wounds are repaired at an accelerated rate, as well as overall skin rejuvenation with no downtime or discomfort.

Is LED safe for my skin type?

We consider LED safe for all skin types. LED is also safe if you are pregnant or breastfeeding meaning you can have glowing skin and treat yourself you some seriously relaxing me-time.

 

How many treatments will I need?

The benefits of LED Light Treatment accumulate over time. In general, best results are achieved over an 8–12-week period. It’s recommended to start with a commitment of 20 minutes twice per week for a minimum of 5 weeks.
