What Is Omnilux?
Since 2003, Omnilux has redefined skincare as the world leader in medical-grade LED light therapy. Backed by over 40 peer-reviewed clinical studies and decades of continuous research, Omnilux is the brand most trusted and used by dermatologists worldwide.
Omnilux was developed in the UK by cancer researcher and physicist Dr Colin Whitehurst as a novel approach to treating non-melanoma skin cancers, through a process called Photodynamic Therapy (PDT). Due to its flexibility, portability, and effectiveness in safely and non-invasively treating areas all over the body, the Omnilux Medical™ device quickly became the gold standard for LED light therapy treatment and maintains the preferred device of dermatologists and clinicians worldwide for both medical and aesthetic applications.
Omnilux Medical’s three light panel heads (red, near-infrared and blue) enable a wide range of treatment applications including skin rejuvenation and wrinkle reduction, pigmentation and sun spots, rosacea, eczema, acne, wound healing, joint inflammation and non-melanoma skin cancers.
With three available wavelengths, Omnilux can treat a wide range of cosmetic and medical skin concerns, including:
- Softening of fine lines and wrinkles
- Improvement in skin tone, acne, vitiligo
- Post-operative wound healing, melasma, rosacea, psoriasis
How Does Omnilux Led Therapy Work?
LED therapy is non-invasive, non-ablative treatment. The Omnilux system includes three treatment heads that deliver clinically-proven wavelengths of monochromatic light — red, blue and infrared — to stimulate specific cells within the body.
A fully articulating arm and adjustable light head panels allow the matrix of LEDs to be carefully positioned to deliver the optimal dose of light to a variety of different treatment areas. For example, the panel can be curved to treat the face or flattened to treat the chest.
When the light energy penetrates the skin surface, it stimulates the body’s own cellular mechanisms that are responsible for tissue repair and regeneration. Unlike laser and IPL devices, LED treatments do not generate heat — so there is no damage to the surrounding tissues, fewer side effects and reduced downtime. The high energy delivered in Omnilux treatments means each session is shorter and fewer sessions are required overall compared to less powerful LED therapy systems.
What Are The Benefits Of The Omnilux Light Therapy System?
We have chosen to offer Omnilux at Kaya Cosmedica because we believe it has many advantages for our patients. These include, but are not limited to:

- Stimulates collagen and elastin by targeting fibroblasts in the skin’s dermis and strengthening the supportive structure of the skin
- Increases blood flow to the skin, leading to greater tissue oxygenation and detoxification
- Helps to calm inflammation and reduce redness
- Results in skin that is clearer, has fewer fine lines and is plumped up and hydrated
- Treats acne breakouts in combination with Omnilux Blue
- Accelerates wound healing in combination with Omnilux Plus
- Clinical Efficac
- In a recent study, 91 percent of subjects reported an improvement in their skin when using Omnilux alone
- Over 60 percent reported a softening of fine lines and wrinkles and smoother skin
- (Dr J Bhat. A single-blinded randomised controlled study to determine the efficacy of Omnilux Revive facial treatment in skin rejuvenation. Lasers in Medical Science 2005 20:1)
Omnilux Plus emits the system’s most deeply-penetrating wavelength, infrared light, to stimulate the complex cellular processes involved in skin healing.
- Increases collagen, elastin and growth factor production
- Stimulates deeper skin tissue, leading to a softening of fine lines, improved skin tone and smoother skin
- Accelerates wound healing after injury or surgery
- Helps to treat or prevent PIH (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation)
- Treats psoriasis, photodamage and signs of ageing, such as periorbital wrinkles
Omnilux Blue transmits blue light that targets P.acnes bacteria to reduce acne breakouts and calm inflammation.
- Acne results from bacterial colonisation, obstruction and inflammation of the sebaceous follicles
- One of the key bacteria responsible is P.Acnes, which produces light-sensitive chemicals called porphyrins
- When stimulated by the 415nm wavelength, the bacteria is neutralised, reducing inflammation
- Used in conjunction with Omnilux Revive, it produces a considerable and marked reduction in acne skin lesions
- Effective, pain-free, nonhormonal acne treatment
- Clinical Efficacy
- In a recent GCP/ICH study, every subject had a significantly successful treatment response. There was a 73 percent reduction in inflammatory lesions between 8 and 16 weeks.
- 89 percent reduction in inflamed acne lesions for mild to moderate acne four weeks after course of treatments
- (Morton CA, Scholefield RD, Whitehurst C and Birch J. An open study to determine the efficacy of blue light in the treatment of mild to moderate acne. Journal of Dermatological Treatment 2005 16:219-223)
- Reducing skin redness
- Decreasing inflammation
- Promoting production of collagen, elastin and growth factors
- Evening irregular skin tone and texture
- Revitalising a dull complexion
- Improving visible signs of photodamage
- Clearing acne blemishes
- Stabilising excessive sebum production
- Treating some precancerous lesions and nonmelanoma skin cancers
- Accelerating wound healing
Each LED therapy session begins with a consultation. Your provider will start by discussing your treatment goals and assessing your skin to determine which wavelength of light will be most beneficial. Once it has been chosen, you will be given safety eyewear and the Omnilux device will be put into position. You can relax while the treatment takes place. The procedure is quick and pain-free, and lasts around 30 minutes. Patients report feeling a sensation of warmth without discomfort — some even find it soothing, like a spa treatment.
Omnilux instantly delivers plumper, more radiant skin with no downtime. Because Omnilux does not damage the surface of the skin or the deeper dermal tissues, there are no unsightly side effects and no recovery time is required. Omnilux light therapy is a true lunchtime procedure — you can schedule a session on a lunch break or between errands, and return to your daily routine as soon as your treatment is done.
Omnilux make a medical-grade LED light therapy mask called Contour FACE. Based on the same technology used in the medical light therapy system, Contour FACE is a portable and affordable home-use LED device with two clinically proven wavelengths: red 633nm and near-infrared 830nm. The recommended use is three to five 10-minute sessions per week for four to six weeks, followed by maintenance treatments as desired.
Omnilux also offer the Contour GLOVE for hands and the Contour NECK & DÉCOLLETÉ. Omnilux Contour products are compatible with most skin care routines and many professional skin treatments to promote healing and optimise results. For enhanced results, Omnilux recommend pairing Contour FACE treatments with the Hydrogel Face Mask.
Omnilux can achieve beautiful results as a stand-alone treatment or be used in combination with other procedures to produce more comprehensive improvements. Omnilux is a powerful adjunctive tool when paired with anti-wrinkle injections, dermal fillers, microdermabrasion, microneedling, facial peels and other nonsurgical procedures. Used before and after these treatments, Omnilux can reduce downtime, accelerate healing, minimise side effects and enhance the overall results. Dr Khinda can create a multimodal treatment plan that is customised to provide your desired results.
