Omnilux blueTM for Acne and Actinic keratosis
Using the same platform as Omnilux PDTTM, Omnilux reviveTM and Omnilux plusTM ,Omnilux blueTM utilises the core technology developed by Photo Therapeutics Ltd and can be delivered from a standard medical base unit using the interchangeable treatment head.
Omnilux blueTM is based on a matrix of LEDs, which provide narrowband visible light. The individual LED cone angle and the spacing of the LEDs ensure uniformity of the beam for full coverage of the treatment area.
The high spectral purity also means that no UV, IR or inappropriate visible radiation is delivered, increasing both the precision and effectiveness of the treatment. Ten years of research regarding light sources for PDT ensures that all criteria for optimised efficacy of treatment are covered i.e. treatment time, intensity and wavelengths that activate relevant absorption spectra.
Omnilux blueTM has been specifically developed to target the naturally occurring photosensitiser, Coproporphyrin III, found in P.acnes bacteria. Omnilux blueTM is the most potent blue light source in activating the target photosensitiser, producing singlet oxygen that leads to rapid eradication of the P.acnes bacteria. The output of Omnilux blueTM is also optimised to activate the photosenstiser 5-aminolaevulinic acid and is therefore ideally suited for the treatment of Actinic keratosis. Omnilux blueTM delivers 40mW/cm2 48J/ cm2 .
The clinician can control the area of illumination and can shape the light to the contour of the treatment area. Only this way can the entire treatment area receive the required dose of light for effective therapy.
