Are you tired of living with stubborn acne? If so, you may be able to benefit from Omnilux LED light therapy. Many people have questions regarding this treatment, so we have compiled a list of the most common questions for your benefit. Read on to learn more about this amazing treatment.

1. What Is Omnilux LED Light Therapy And How Does It Work?

Omnilux Light Therapy is a specially designed device that works to treat acne by emitting blue and red light at certain wavelengths. The blue light affects the microorganisms which cause acne, known as P.acnes bacterium, by damaging their DNA structure. The free radicals in the P.acnes bacterium are also neutralized by the light therapy, which in turn helps clear up the skin from acne symptoms such as inflammation and swelling.

2. Does Omnilux LED Light Therapy Use Any UV Technology?

No. Omnilux LED Light Therapy does not use any UV technology.

3. What Is The Difference Between LED And UV Lights?

UV light is primarily made up of UVA rays, which are known for their ability to damage DNA. LED lights do not produce UV light.

4. Is Omnilux LED Light Therapy Safe to Use?

Yes, this treatment is safe and does not cause any permanent damage to the skin.

5. How Can I Tell If It’s Working?

You can tell that the treatment is working if your acne has cleared up and gone away after some time of using Omnilux LED light therapy.

6. How Often Do I Have To Use It?

According to studies, acne patients have experienced an improvement in their skin’s condition after using light therapy once a day for six months. However, your dermatologist might recommend you use the treatment twice a day in order to achieve the best results possible.

7. Does Omnilux LED Light Therapy Hurt?

No, it is not painful. The treatment may cause some redness but this should not last longer than 30 minutes.

8. Can I Use It On My Children?

9. Is Omnilux LED Light Therapy Safe For Pregnant Women?

This treatment is not recommended for use in pregnant women. Please be sure to speak with your doctor prior to treatment to ensure that you are a good candidate.

10. What If I Have A Medical Diagnosis That Should Not Be Treated By Light Therapy?

The treatment is safe for people with any medical conditions except for HIV/AIDS and cancer, since it may negatively affect the DNA in human cells. If you are diagnosed with an illness such as these, you should have a consultation with your dermatologist first before using Omnilux LED light therapy.
