GOOD STUFF
If you've opened TikTok or Instagram lately, I'm guessing you've seen an influencer or creator wearing a red light mask. The LED face mask has taken social media by storm, and this is one trend I am happy to get behind! After all, I've been working with red light therapy for over two decades, and have experienced serious improvements in my own skin as well as in my clients. It remains one of my all-time favorite treatments for 2024 (and beyond!).
And my go-to pick for the best red light LED mask on the market? The Omnilux Contour. Keep reading to learn more about the benefits of red light therapy, what makes the Omnilux so special, and tips for using LED masks at home.
There are so many amazing benefits when it comes to LED skin treatments—especially red light therapy! Red light therapy can help smooth fine lines and wrinkles, plump and revitalize your skin, treat milder skin conditions (like rosacea), help increase circulation, and even lessen the appearance of sunspots. Plus, red light is super gentle—so just about every skin type can benefit from red LED mask treatments.
And don't just take my word for it! Recent research shows that red or infrared LED devices can promote regeneration and skin rejuvenation, as well as increase collagen production and elastin formation.
The Omnilux Contour is an at-home LED mask that comes in three different styles: one for face, one for neck and chest, and a glove for treating hands. It's easy to use and is practically foolproof!
The Omnilux is one of my favorite at-home LED face masks - especially because it can be used on more than just your face! The Omnilux Contour devices are made with medical-grade LEDs and emit optimized wavelengths of red and near-infrared light. It actually delivers more red light energy into your skin in 10 minutes than any other flexible LED mask on the market! The magic of the two different wavelengths helps skin rejuvenate at different levels, for a more rapid and complete result. (Red travels up to 2mm into the skin while near-infrared can travel up to 8mm.)
This flexibility is another great quality. Most at-home masks are made from rigid plastic, while the Omnilux is made from flexible silicone. You can use the adjustable straps to create a customized fit for your face shape, to enjoy your treatment in complete comfort. After all, shouldn't your home skincare routine feel like a spa day?
To start, I recommend using the Omnilux face mask three to five times a week, for 10 minutes at a time. Most people will see results in 4-6 weeks, so you can scale back after that. You'll need to charge the controller and connect it to the mask before you can use it, and then use the adjustable straps to secure it to your head. It should feel molded to your skin, but not too tight! When you're done, wipe it down so it's clean and ready for your next session.
I also love using the Omnilux Neck & Décolleté when I'm multitasking. Because it's hands free and doesn't block my vision, I can wear it while I do the rest of my facial skincare routine... or while I'm filming a YouTube video, washing the dishes, or drafting a new blog post! And recently, I've been using the Omnilux Glove on my right hand —it seems to be helping with some of my arthritis pain. (To be clear, I use it on both hands, just more on my right, arthritis-prone hand.)
I love using the Omnilux alongside my other go-to devices—it's an easy to way to incorporate red light therapy into my everyday routine. After all, consistency is key when it comes to seeing results from LED treatments!
For example, one way I use the Omnilux LED mask is with a microcurrent or muscle-lifting device. Right when I get out of the shower, I'll use this device first, apply a hydrating ampoule to my face, and then get set up in my Omnilux face mask for about 10 minutes. LEDs can have a drying effect on the skin, so it's super important to layer in moisturizing products.
Red light therapy and the Omnilux are generally gentle enough to use with any skin care routine, though I don't recommend combining retinols with light therapy. It's also important to note that you should wear the Omnilux Contour as one of the first steps in your skincare routine. My go-to serum to use with the Omnilux is the CBE Botanicals Brighten the Day Serum. Once the treatment time is up, you can go in with your other serums, moisturizers, and finishing creams. To amplify hydration, consider using Dr Esthé Aqua Infusion Water Drop Cream before your moisturizer. This can help lock in moisture and give your skin a plump, dewy appearance.
Whether you decide to buy the Omnilux or a different red light device (like the Glow Younger TriLight LED Device or Curve Face and Body), I know you're going to LOVE the results. And if you're not ready to invest in an at-home device, that's ok, too! Consider adding red light therapy to your next facial or in-spa skin treatment.
Should I Use the Omnilux Morning or Night?
Omnilux devices have benefits for both AM and PM users. Early Birds, wake up those skin cells, and start your day with an instant glow that lasts all day. Night Owls, ease your skin into its regenerative process and calm your skin for your best sleep. Consistency is key, so find what works best with your routine!
How do I Clean My Omnilux?
You should clean your device with a water-based wipe before every treatment. Baby wipes work great! Stubborn stains can be removed by wiping gently with 70% alcohol. Always softly wipe the LED side of the device and let air dry before starting treatment.
Are Omnilux Devices FDA Cleared?
Yes! All Omnilux devices have been FDA cleared, TGA approved, and CE certified. In addition, all devices conform to international safety standards, including eye safety.
Are There Any Reverse Side Effects If I Stop Treatments?
To maintain best results, we advise that you continue with your Omnilux treatments. If you stop treatments, you may notice your skin starting to lose the progress it has made. It’s a commitment to bettering your skin, consistency will give the best results.
Can I Use the Omnilux Contour if I Have Sensitive Skin?
Absolutely! Red light therapy is super gentle and suitable for just about every skin type, including sensitive skin. If you have concerns, I recommend starting with shorter sessions and gradually increasing the duration as your skin adjusts.
