LED (Light Emitting Diode) therapy has gained popularity as a non invasive an effective method for skin rejuvenation. This treatment uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate various cellular processes in the skin, stimulating collagen production and promoting cellular repair. From acne to fine lines, LED therapy can target a variety of skin concerns, making it a versatile treatment for all skin types.
At Kaya Cosmedica, we perform LED therapy in South Melbourne using Omnilux technology that has gained recognition in the field of dermatology. All Omnilux treatments are tailored to individual skin concerns and needs based on an evaluation of your skin. Request an appointment today.
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:
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.
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:
Should you have any questions about Omnilux or why it is our preferred LED therapy system, Dr PK or a member of our team would be happy to discuss further during your consultation.
Omnilux Revive emits a therapeutic red light that has a rejuvenating and an anti-inflammatory effect on the skin.
Omnilux Plus emits the system’s most deeply-penetrating wavelength, infrared light, to stimulate the complex cellular processes involved in skin healing.
Omnilux Blue transmits blue light that targets P.acnes bacteria to reduce acne breakouts and calm inflammation.
Due to its unique design, Omnilux is versatile and can be used on many areas of the body. The system may be applied while a patient sits, stands or lies down, and the light panels can be flattened or curved to match the contours of the treatment area. LED therapy is commonly used to treat the face, neck, chest, arms, hands and legs.
LED therapy is safe for adults of all ages and skin tones. Although most people are candidates, those who have epilepsy or photosensitive skin conditions are not able to receive this treatment.
Omnilux is backed by over 40 clinical studies and nearly 20 years of experience. Omnilux light therapy is comfortable and suitable for all skin types, with no reported adverse side effects or downtime. LED light therapy does not generate heat, emit radiation or cause cancer. Eye protection is worn during the treatment.
LED lights do not emit ultraviolet (UV) light. Although LED and UV are both forms of light energy, their effect on the skin is quite different. UV light causes hyperpigmentation and is a major risk factor for skin cancer. LED light encourages skin healing and rejuvenation. In other words, UV light damages the skin, while LED light restores it.
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 offers both short-term and long-term benefits. Your complexion will look refreshed, healthy and calm soon after your first treatment. Over time, as you complete a series of treatments, the natural cellular processes stimulated by the light therapy will generate improvements in your skin clarity, texture and tone. These processes continue to work after the treatment itself has stopped. Optimal results are typically seen four to eight weeks after an Omnilux session.
To achieve the most profound and long-lasting benefits, an initial series of treatments spread over several weeks is recommended. Once the series is complete, scheduling ongoing maintenance throughout the year can continue to improve the health and appearance of your skin. Introducing medical-grade skincare products into your routine can also help extend the life of your results.
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. Your practitioner at Kaya Cosmedica can create a multimodal treatment plan that is customised to provide your desired results.
Omnilux LED therapy uses cutting-edge technology to naturally rejuvenate your skin and reduce visible signs of ageing.
