What is Omnilux Red and Blue Light Therapy (LED Therapy)?
Omnilux is a medical device that utilizes LED light technology. The Omnilux Combination Light Therapy uses blue LED’s in conjunction with red LED’s to

• Rejuvenate the skin by stimulating new cell growth
• Destroy bacteria responsible for breakouts
• Decrease redness and inflammation

How does it work?
Red light therapy works to rejuvenate the skin by stimulating the growth of new cells. It is also a great treatment to consider following injectable procedures such as Botox or fillers as it triggers the body’s own healing mechanisms in the treated areas and reduces inflammation and redness. When blue light therapy is utilized, the light is selectively absorbed by acne-causing bacteria, which are then neutralized.

What areas can be treated?
Treatments are primarily used for the face, chest, and upper back.

How long does the procedure take and how many treatments are needed?
Red light therapy for skin rejuvenation may be used alone as a single treatment or in a series of 8 20 minute treatments scheduled weekly. For acne we recommend a series of 4 - 20 minute blue light treatments combined with 4 - 20 minute red light treatments over the course of 4 weeks.

Is it painful?
No. Both blue and red light treatments are painless. You will feel a comfortable warm sensation. Many patients choose to listen to music or just rest during their treatment.

Is it safe?
Yes. LED therapy is very safe and complications are extremely rare.

What results can I expect?
Some see a difference in as little as one to two treatments. Although 100% of the acne symptoms may not be cleared, a significant reduction in new acne should be noticed.

Can the Blue/Red light treatments be combined with other treatments?
Yes, we often combine LED treatments with other technologies to further improve the surface and overall appearance of the skin. For the greatest improvement, we most often suggest combining LED treatments with facials, microdermabrasion, or chemical peels.

Are results permanent?
Clinical studies have shown that the results can be permanent, however periodic treatments may be necessary to maintain results over time.

Are there any side effects?
Mild "blushing" of the skin may occur for those with sensitive skin, which usually only lasts for a few minutes. No other side-effects are have been reported.

Can I still wear make-up?
Yes. Although you cannot wear makeup during your treatment, you can immediately re-apply it following your treatment.

Is there any down-time?
No. Immediately following your treatment session, you will be free to go back to your usual activities.
