What is Omnilux Light Therapy?
Light therapy is the use of light to stimulate a cellular response within our cells. Cells in the body contain receptors that absorb light naturally. When the body is exposed to light, these receptors absorb the light waves and kick-start a cellular response. Different wavelengths of light will stimulate different cellular responses within the cell.
Omnilux™Light Therapy is non-invasive, non-ablative and safe for patients. Omnilux™ stimulates cells athermally (no heat) without causing damage to the epidermis or dermal tissue, therefore there is no downtime or unwanted side effects like swelling, peeling or blistering.
What wavelengths do we use and what do they treat?
Omnilux ™offers three different wavelengths Omnilux™ revive (red light), Omnilux™ blue and Omnilux™ plus.
Omnilux™ revive is used to rejuvenate and repair damaged skin, improve uneven skin tone and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Delivering precise wavelengths of visible red light that penetrate deep into the skin to fiboblasts are stimulated boosting the production of collagen. The revive treatment also increases the hydration of the skin and improves the skin’s circulation.
Omnilux™ plus strongly absorbed within Fibro-myocytes promoting alignment and increased tone in the newly formed collagen bundles. (we say the revive stimulates the collagen and the plus “beds it down”)
The effect leaves the skin fuller and tighter in appearance. Circulation is stimulated resulting in increased oxygenation and the removal of toxins and that all means a more glowing complextion, the skin more radiant.
Omnilux™ blue
Omnilux™ has been specifically developed to target the naturally occurring photosensitiser, Coproporphyrin III, found in P.acnes bacteria. Omnilux™ 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. At last an acne treatment without medication or painful invasive procedures.
