How Omnilux WorksClinical EfficacyFAQs

Wound Healing

The healing quality of light has been understood for centuries.  Light therapy for use in skin healing processes has its foundation in the work of researchers such as Tiina Karu.  Trials have clearly displayed that 633 nm light enhances not only DNA synthesis, but also augments cellular tissue regeneration pathways including collagen deposition.
Light at 830nm is known to stimulate tissue remodelling cell lines and influence remodelling & restructuring of collagen.
Study groups have shown that near Infra-red light (830nm, Omnilux plusTM) combined with 633nm, Omnilux reviveTM red light accelerates the wound healing response and therefore offers an effective treatment for the healing of compromised tissue.

 “The potential for accelerated surgical recovery, both for laser and non-laser surgery, enhances patient safety, as well fitting with the trend towards less aggressive and less invasive aesthetic treatments.”

Why choose Omnilux plus and Omnilux revive for skin rejuvenation and wound healing

Omnilux reviveTM biomodulates fibroblast activity, leading to faster and more efficient collagen synthesis. Omnilux plusTM stimulates the contractile phase of the remodeling process producing better lineated collagen. In combination these wavelengths work in synergy to produce better visible results and hence patient satisfaction.

Skin Rejuvenation
In a recent independent study 83% of all subjects reported a softening of fine lines and wrinkles after a course of Omnilux plusTM and Omnilux reviveTM combination therapy. Over 75% reported a marked improvement in skin softness and smoothness.
Digital profilometry supports the subjective responses with significant improvements in skin roughness and wrinkle depth.

Wound Healing
Study groups have shown that near infra-red light combined with 633nm red light accelerates the wound healing response and therefore offers an effective adjunctive therapy, pre and post laser surgery and post surgery.

"I use the Omnilux plusTM on the day before laser therapy (Carbon dioxide/Erbium laser (C02 6 watts, 40% duty cycle, 1.4 J/cm2 (Eribum), 12 Hrz, 4mm spot) and for 2 days post therapy. I then switch to Omnilux reviveTM, delivering 4 treatments spaced 3 days apart.  Our patients are healing amazingly quickly. I’ve noted using this protocol that erythema is dissipating at 3 weeks post treatment”
Dr Mark Taylor Salt Lake City, USA

Dr Mario Trelles Instituto Medico Vilafortuny , Cambrils, Spain uses Omnilux reviveTM and Omnilux plusTM in his blepharoplasty and mammoplasty procedures, recognising the benefits of red light. “Using OmniluxTM I see a definite reduction in oedema, suture rejections and wound complications, compared to non irradiated suture sites”

OmniluxTM Combination Phototherapy

At OmniluxTM we strive to understand how light therapy works in synergy with our bodies’ own natural mechanisms.
As we grow older, the cells that manufacture the skins supportive structures begin to slow down. Environmental damage from the suns rays speed up this process and produce free radicals that damage the skin and the cells that synthesize collagen and elastin.
Using a combination of different lights delivered at different times we are able to stimulate these cells that help counteract the effects of ageing.
Unlike some anti-ageing treatments that work as a result of the body's response to damage, OmniluxTM stimulates natural processes to rejuvenate the skin.

Rejuvenating Tired Skin

What is OmniluxTM combination phototherapy?
OmniluxTM uses a combination of pure, visible red light and invisible infra red light to stimulate the deeper skin tissue, leading to a softening of fine lines, improved skin tone and super smooth skin.

How does it work?
OmniluxTM combination phototherapy works with the body’s own natural processes to counteract the effects of ageing.The different lights target specific cells which are responsible for the synthesis and repair of the skin’s supportive structures.

What will I see?
In an independent study over 80% of subjects reported a softening of fine lines after treatment and 75% reported improvement in skin softness and smoothness.

Is it safe?
The scientifically designed light source does not contain harmful UVA or UVB.You will experience a feeling of relaxation and well-being during and after the treatment.

How many treatments are needed?
This depends upon your individual treatment régime. Your aesthetician will advise you on how many treatments may be suitable for your particular needs.

How long will the treatment take?
Your first treatment will take 45 minutes, allowing for your initial consultation. Ongoing treatments will typically be 30-minute appointments, during which the light is administered for 20 minutes.

How long does it take to recover?
There is no need for recovery time, and makeup can be re-applied immediately after treatment.

Will the results be seen straight away?
This depends upon the treatment options used. The initial effects you will see are a clearer, brighter and smoother complexion. After the course of treatments have finished you will still see an improvement in tone, clarity and skin smoothness. You will also see softening of your fine lines and wrinkles.

How long will the results last?
This will vary according to skin type and lifestyle and whether you have combined OmniluxTM with other treatments. However, unlike other treatments where the effects are short lived, OmniluxTM light therapy stimulates natural cellular processes that rejuvenate skin. This means the results you see with OmniluxTM continue to improve for up to 4-6 months after the light treatment.

Who is OmniluxTM combination phototherapy suitable for?
This is a very effective treatment for both men and women of any age. It is non-invasive and easy to perform.

Because OmniluxTM Combination Phototherapy stimulates cells involved in repair of the skin and increases blood flow, it has been used successfully to enhance and improve other aesthetic treatments. OmniluxTM Combination Phototherapy can be used before (to condition the skin) and after (to speed up the healing process) a number of popular aesthetic treatments
OmniluxTM Combination Phototherapy has been successfully combined with;
