Thank you so much.. I have been using the same mask for over a year. Perhaps I should get the neck one too. Enjoy your journey in life and keep sharing..☺️ What do you think about NIRA or Nuderma High Frequency Wand? I use them as well.. perhaps more isn’t always best..
@@marycharleson3320 I purchased the original Nira but don’t use it. It had great reviews but took too long to cover my areas of concern. There is a newer model that covers a larger area, and it might be just the ticket.

I first had red light treatment for wound healing in a medical office after permanent eyeliner. I had to have a large portion of the lower left tarsal excised and reconstructed with the interior of the upper tarsal, due to basal cell carcinoma, and lost 3/4 of my lower eyelashes. The oculoplastic surgeon recommended I have permanent eyeliner done at a medical spa, and when they used the red light, I could almost feel the wound healing (yes, I know that sounds like hyperbole, but I've had the perm eyeliner for many years before without it and the red light was a game changer in the healing process). That is what sold me on red light therapy for healing skin issues. (my YT photo shows my left eye after the surgery and 2 additional cauterization procedures of the lower lid if you're curious) Thanks for taking the time to film and edit a thorough review of this product.

I use an Aphrona (more affordable version of the Omnilux) for 8 months now and it’s made a huge difference in my dry, aging skin when used in combination with Vit E, castor oil, hyaluronic acid, and squalene. My skin looks brighter, wrinkles and fine lines have disappeared, my complexion has evened out, and it cured my rosacea.
I have been using the Omnilux for about 18 months and I use it every other day. I continue using it because my skin is looking better: no more itchiness and redness around my nose and I have never had the consistency of good skin as I do now. I’m glad I found this product. I discovered it through Angie from Hot & Flashy RUclips videos.
I’ve used omnilux for 2 years now and it has improved my skin. I’ve added nuface, and it also helps skin quality. I’m interested in doing things that penetrate to different depths of epidermis/dermis/muscle. Consistency is critical.
I bought a $70 LED light mask about 2 years ago and used the blue light setting for my acne and it transformed my skin I only have to spot treat and ppl ask if I wear makeup or not
I just received my Omnilux and did my first treatment today. I have had in office IPL and BBL light treatments with excellent results. The Omnilux costs less than one of those treatments.
I was worried about this too because I have hyperpigmentation and rosacea. The masks sits so close to the face, I was concerned about the heat and making the spots worse. Not too mention they are so expensive. I went with the Wolznek Red Light bulb that I got on Amazon which is without Near Infrared (NIR) it’s been working out great! I also purchased a desk clamp so I can put the bulb into it. I hope this helps! Good luck 🥰
I've been using the Omnilux for a year and a half and I see great results. Mostly with my skin tone and healing irritation (also have mild rosacea) and acne pigmentation that I get every so often. My mask actually stopped working and the company stood by their warranty and sent me a brand new one without me having to jump through a bunch of hoops.

I contacted the company and they refused to assist because my warranty was over almost a month ago. Warning to all when used consistently it's a great device but you only have 2 years then you're on your own. I was extremely gentle with my mask, in fact, I babied it and kept it in its box when not in use, but it just died 25 months later. This company does not stand behind its products' past warranty and these are expensive devices for most people.

I already have great skin and I’m young so I’m trying to keep what I’ve got, but I’ve noticed an increase in radiance and better management of my rosacea as well. I also kind of love that it forces me take 30 mins to lay down and unplug since I have a hard time letting myself take breaks in general and doing a Dermalux session always feels like a productive break.

I've had my Omnilux since March. I use it every other day. Wow! It has done wonders for my skin! I also have rosacea. The mask has def helped with my barrier as well. Best investment ever!
I initially purchased a cheaper mask with several color options. I used the red light and blue light and saw great results, so I upgraded to the Omnilux (which I can travel with). I got their CLEAR mask (w/red and blue light) but I had major melasma issues! This wasn’t an issue on the other mask (not sure if that’s because it was not as strong in terms of nanometers or what….). I exchanged it for Omnilux’s standard mask and have been very happy.
@@impermanent-being that is what confused me. Blue light did nothing with hyper-pigmentation with mask #1. That mask brought great Red Light results. However, the Omnilux blue light made hyper pigmentation so much worse. I switched to the regular Omnilux and have been very happy.

I have the Omnilux mask and use it almost every morning with the Maysama serum it’s a good combo, there’s research on it as well. I also place it long ways under my chin and 11:54 covers my chest for that session (if u don’t want to buy the other neck piece). I get so many compliments on my skin, have rosecea between eyes and chin and helps stay at bay. I’m 57 and very happy w this BUT you have to be consistent and it’s work wonders! Awesome review Dr!
That study was based on one participant and his own observations of his skin. There have not been any randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded studies with significant populations. I just keep noticing that everyone is referencing the science of LED and green tea, and there really isn’t any “science”. Now, LED alone is abundantly-studied.
Yes! I purchased a cheaper model just to see what I thought of it and I love what it is doing for my skin. It has calmed down my senstivities and helped draw out some stubborn black heads. If I continue to see positive changes, I will invest in a better mask. I use this one for 15 minutes of red light and 5 minutes of blue. I love it.
This is what I did, I got the Yofuly mask on Amazon and it’s definitely working enough that I haven’t felt the need to upgrade. It’s great for after microneedling, my skin bounces back so much faster.
I have been thinking about buying this for quite some time and just can’t pull the trigger yet! Glad to hear you approve of the omnilux device! Thanks as always!😊
I purchased the CellumaPRO last year ($$$) and rarely use it because of the impracticality of it. You are so right to recommend portable devices with eyes that can allow you do other tasks during the treatment period.
I just recently purchased the same and am having a bit of buyer's remorse, but hoping maybe I'll feel differently after using it for awhile. I liked the idea of the panel for flexibility and thought my teens would use the acne setting, but they don't like it (say it makes them feel nauseated) so I'm the only one using it. The PRO is big and hard to tuck under my head to use, but I'm trying to get used to it. I honestly don't mind the 30 minute period and like that it covers my eyes, but I could have gotten the smaller one and been fine. Oh well...
Thank you so much for the review. Lots of good information. I have been using the Omnilux face mask for over a year. I am 58. I am asked all the time what is my anti-aging routine. This mask and a Vit A (I use differin) are essential. Always moisturizing, but Vi C, an alpha hydroxy acid and NEVER going to bed without washing your face are most.
I’m a licensed esthetician and I absolutely love LED light therapy😍 most if not all of my clients have seen results using it. I use the the HydrafacialxLightstim one in my treatment room, but you’ve just convinced me to buy the Omnilux for myself at home 😅
Hey there! Just wanted to share my personal experience with red light therapy. I've been using a panel from Future Form Official, a company based in Norway, and let me tell you, it's been incredible for my skin. So grateful for finding something that actually works. Thanks for all the informative videos and recommendations, they've been a lifesaver! 🙌
@@jayeshaw5705 Yes, red light therapy can help with acne by reducing inflammation and promoting skin healing. It typically doesn’t worsen hyperpigmentation and may even improve it by stimulating skin regeneration.
@@jayeshaw5705 Red light therapy can help with acne by reducing inflammation and promoting healing. It’s not known to worsen hyperpigmentation, but results vary. Starting with short sessions and monitoring your skin’s response is a good approach!
Thank you for this. I bought the Current Body and their «neck & deck» a week ago, and I have used it every day for 5 days straight now. It has the same specs as the Omnilux. I am so excited to see what it can do for my mature skin. So glad I found your video. Gives me hope when people comment that they have visible results from LED treatment.
Omnilux caused melasma for me. I always felt that it generated some heat. I used it on a couple of days when it was quite humid --the company should warn against this--and out popped melasma. If I had ever hear of melasma before I would never have used it in humid conditions. Unfortunately, this was my introduction to the subject.
I had just purchased the Omnilux mask and have just started using it. I am much older and get pigmentation Marie’s on my face and creams do not seem to work. It was nice to hear from a professional that I made the right choice in home devices.
I was so happy to see this - I need a red light mask but I’ve no idea where to start when choosing one. I’ll just copy you and I can’t go wrong. I’m hoping they are hundreds not thousands
I’ve done a lot of research into red and near-infrared therapy and have drawn the conclusion that (without portability being a consideration) you’re better off buying a high quality panel if you can afford it. The reason I say this is that you get better irradiance for your money, plus you can use the device all over your body and reap those benefits. Much better bang for your bucks
I have been using 360beluxe face and neck mask, and I can tell the results are spectacular, I even recommend to my friends and family, everyone should enjoy about the benefits of the light therapy at home !! I use it at night all days..
Based on how thorough you are with your research I’m going with your suggestion as I have been looking into this for probably over a year and the fact that you were so thorough was all I needed to be convinced so thank you for this great video.
I had a mask, not omnilux and recently purchased a Mito red panel. The panels are definitely much brighter light and can be used on any part of the body.
I just received mine a few days ago and haven’t started to use it yet. I’m really happy that you posted this video, it validates my decision, I hesitated for a long time whether to buy it. Thanks!😊
I have the Inferno from EMR, BEST $1,000 I've ever spent! It does my neck, chest, legs, and all of that gets wrinkles too!! It also helps with soreness after the gym.
Yes, I would love a video comparing devices. Please include Qure (just 3 min a day wear time). Thank you for all you do to keep us informed and educated!
I just got the Omnilux mask yesterday, so I’ve used it twice so far. I’m excited to see what kind of results I can get. Instead of investing in the next mask, I decided just to do a second session and position it on my neck and chest. I know it’s not perfect like the neck/chest mask, but what can it hurt to try to get a two for one with one mask since it’s already so expensive.
I bought & love the omnilux for face. It was an investment but I love it. I also use it on my neck and chest as the second piece would have made it a lot more expensive. I am wondering what your thoughts are on the nuface current device? I recently saw a review by 2 dermatologists who said not to waste your money . I love that we have professionals giving us the real truth . Thank you.
I have been wondering about an at home device (I use the red light therapy booth at the gym) and LOVE that you did this review - thank you! I also SO appreciate everyone’s comments in their experience - so helpful!!
Iam 62 and yes I want to try it but was not sure which one to buy because I had heard not all of them were that good but I trust your recommendation and I would like to try it
I’ve been on the fence about red light therapy but you fully answered all my questions. I’m definitely going with Omnilux as I have previously looked at a bunch of other brands and Omnilux sets itself apart just by the sheer amount of information they give you.
Also!! Would love to see a video where you do your own basic morning and nighttime skincare routine for the day :) I know youve posted a lot of specific routines, but more of a personal morning/evening what you do every day!
I have a Mito Red Light Panel with NIR that I use for my rosacea and love it because it covers my face, neck, chest, arms, and hands as well. A treatment time for each area is 10 min so for me to treat all areas takes 30 min but if I only wanted to cover my face it would only take 10 min because of the intensity of the light. I have one of the smallest panels which is the reason it takes 30 min to treat all the areas I do. It has been wonderful for my rosacea in combination with some topical serums. I also found that green light therapy was very soothing to my skin when it was at its most inflamed but have not needed to use that in more than a year. The rejuvenation changes in my skin has been striking with increased firmness, smoothness, decreased pigmentation from sun damage.
Hello! I have a Mito bulb and I'm hesitant to use it because I hear it could agravate melasma. But I have rosacea and would like to try it for that. Are you still happy with the results?
@@anapatrao6092 Yes, very much so. I don't have melasma so I don't have to worry about that. I think there were some reports that if you turned off the NIR bulbs and just used the red bulbs that would prevent it from aggravating the melasma.
I recently purchased the Dermalux Flex MD and I LOVE it. It's not a mask, you have to put your face inside a dome for 30 min, so it's not super convenient, but I feel great after using it.
Dr. Ellis, I'm late to this video so you may not see this message but thank you so much for mentioning melasma. I've been wanting to use red light therapy but have melasma and wasn't sure if it was safe. 🤗
Yes I would consider using this therapy. I'm 75 and have pretty decent skin for my age as far as wrinkles go but what I miss the most is the even skin tone of my youth. Around 40 I got Rosacea and started using foundation that before I'd only used on special occasions. I would much prefer to use something like this that is actually causing your body to heal from the inside out than lotions and potions that who knows if they are really working.
I do have both of these red light items and I love them! I started with the face and then added the neck and you are right they do cost some dollars but you don’t have to leave home to use them and I love that. So glad these are the ones you recommended since I have them both.
Great video! For about a year, I’ve been using & loving the results from my Omnilux for face. So much that I’m thinking about buying the Omnilux for neck next.
@@cococgb5389 I love the NuFace mini and it’s definitely helping plump up my skin too. I am on Dermatica treatment too and use the sensse led mask. Need all the help at 54 lol x
After years of experimenting with anti aging products, I have come to the conclusion that only a few products really help. These are a red light mask (pay attention to the right frequencies), the NuFace and skin products with good, natural ingredients.
You look great and youthful! How long have you been using this device? I recently purchased a full body red light/inferred light. Gradually, I am seeing results with wrinkles, sleep, and wound healing.
I’ve had mine for 2 years and definitely noticed a difference in my skin texture & redness. My question is how do you clean it? Would also love to know your thoughts on the Omnilux vs Dr Dennis Gross version. Love your channel!
I’ve had my Omnilux for almost a year now and love it! I am 29 and don’t have many signs of aging yet (🙌🏼) but I do find this helps my skin look healthier and glowier than without using it. I did a good bit of research before purchasing a red light mask, glad to know I picked right!
29! I didn’t have “signs of aging” til 50. So you’re giving credit to a machine that you don’t even need. You look great cause you’re young. Enjoy that beauty and don’t waste your time dwelling on imaginary “imperfections “. In your 60s you’ll look at photos of yourself at 29 and be shocked at how beautiful you were and shocked that you ever criticized yourself.
@@missmayflowerThere’s nothing wrong with using skincare equipment like LED masks as preventative measures against skin aging. An ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure. It’s much harder to undo signs of aging and skin damage than it is to make an effort to curb those changes to begin with.
I have been using a current body led mask for face and neck for a few months. The investment was worth it, my skin looks better overall, I have also been quite consistent with my skincare so perhaps not all is due to the mask. However, I am sure it has had a good impact and will continue to use it.
I just bought this same device from Omnilux recently. Still haven't unboxed and tried it yet though, but this one seemed the best to me too after my research!
After research, I purchased the same Omnilux mask, several months ago. To be honest, I have not seen a difference, but I have not been very diligent in my usage. I will use it regularly going forward, and see if it improves anything. Maybe I am too old lol.
I'm 80 and look in my 60's. Been using the Omnilux mask for about 18 months. I am a healthy eater. get lots of exercise and plenty of sleep....my Oura ring proves it. You're never too old...Lol.
I am 65 years old & diligent. Followed the instructions of 5 x a week for 6 weeks. Now I’m doing 3x a week. Ended up with very dry skin. So I reduced my tretinoin, that I’ve been doing for 10 years from 5x a week to 3x a week due to peeling. Still too drying. Reduced the strength from 0.05 to 0.025. Less peeling. I’d rather give up the Omnilux than my tretinoin. I’ve seen no improvement.
Thank you for this. I bought one for xmas. I'm so happy to have you review and recommend my purchase. I trust your opinion and feel so much better for the $$ that i spent on it.
Thank you for the easy, informative breakdown' of red light therapy. I bought the facial mask from Omnilux less than 2 weeks ago and I am excited to incorporate this in my skincare routine.
We purchased the irestore hair device after watching one of your videos and my husband has already started seeing an improvement. I have a question regarding nail lamps that are used for curing gel nail polish 💅 (such as shellac for example) is it harmful if you have your nails done regularly? Why doesn’t anybody talk about this? 🤔
I have considered red light therapy and have looked at some lights but was more considering going to a salon for it. I was more interested in the mental/mood benefits actually but thanks for the rec! Here those are almost $400 reasonable but when you said a couple hundred I was hoping for less. Great review!
I use light every day. Since I started using light, the benefits have really grown. I find I can now see for miles and no longer need to use headlamps when driving.
Thanks Dr. Ellis….I’m liking your content more and more. PLEASE don’t ever go down the road of “sponsorship” or start touting your own products. There are too few unbiased, trustworthy influencers left anymore.
Love the idea of LED light therapy but recently heard about growths developing on the skin while being exposed to the lights of those devices. Now I’m a little hesitant to use it… Any advice? Thanks a lot in advance☺️
12:02 I bought the Mito red light panel. It’s heavy and not easy to move around but gets my face and neck. I’ve been using it since October for 10 min every other day and I feel like my skin feels better and looks better. I would love a mask for convenience and to travel with.
i would love a video comparing different red light therapy devices!
Celluma?
@@GloriaHernandez-uc8ubI have CELLUMA. Two years ago still working

I have the Omnilux mask and use it almost every morning with the Maysama serum it’s a good combo, there’s research on it as well. I also place it long ways under my chin and 11:54 covers my chest for that session (if u don’t want to buy the other neck piece). I get so many compliments on my skin, have rosecea between eyes and chin and helps stay at bay. I’m 57 and very happy w this BUT you have to be consistent and it’s work wonders! Awesome review Dr!
I do the same thing with the omnilux to target my neck/chest!
I do that too😂
That study was based on one participant and his own observations of his skin. There have not been any randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded studies with significant populations. I just keep noticing that everyone is referencing the science of LED and green tea, and there really isn’t any “science”. Now, LED alone is abundantly-studied.
I use on my hands as well as face and neck and chest.
@@PhenixJoe people use it so many ways, whatever works I guess. Thanks for info.
Yes! I purchased a cheaper model just to see what I thought of it and I love what it is doing for my skin. It has calmed down my senstivities and helped draw out some stubborn black heads. If I continue to see positive changes, I will invest in a better mask. I use this one for 15 minutes of red light and 5 minutes of blue. I love it.
What mask do you use?
I would like to know this too Stephie please?……. 😊
Blue light can provoke pigmentation, so use it it only if u have real acne/inflammation. As it kills bacteria
Following
This is what I did, I got the Yofuly mask on Amazon and it’s definitely working enough that I haven’t felt the need to upgrade. It’s great for after microneedling, my skin bounces back so much faster.
I have been thinking about buying this for quite some time and just can’t pull the trigger yet! Glad to hear you approve of the omnilux device! Thanks as always!😊
Omnilux is brilliant and comfortable too...
Same!
I purchased the CellumaPRO last year ($$$) and rarely use it because of the impracticality of it. You are so right to recommend portable devices with eyes that can allow you do other tasks during the treatment period.
I just recently purchased the same and am having a bit of buyer's remorse, but hoping maybe I'll feel differently after using it for awhile. I liked the idea of the panel for flexibility and thought my teens would use the acne setting, but they don't like it (say it makes them feel nauseated) so I'm the only one using it. The PRO is big and hard to tuck under my head to use, but I'm trying to get used to it. I honestly don't mind the 30 minute period and like that it covers my eyes, but I could have gotten the smaller one and been fine. Oh well...
I'm so happy with my red light panel from Future Form Official! My skin has improved so much, and their prices are reasonable.
Thank you so much for the review. Lots of good information. I have been using the Omnilux face mask for over a year. I am 58. I am asked all the time what is my anti-aging routine. This mask and a Vit A (I use differin) are essential. Always moisturizing, but Vi C, an alpha hydroxy acid and NEVER going to bed without washing your face are most.
Can you share what's your morning and night routine? Thanks so much 🙏
I’m a licensed esthetician and I absolutely love LED light therapy😍 most if not all of my clients have seen results using it. I use the the HydrafacialxLightstim one in my treatment room, but you’ve just convinced me to buy the Omnilux for myself at home 😅
Hey there! Just wanted to share my personal experience with red light therapy. I've been using a panel from Future Form Official, a company based in Norway, and let me tell you, it's been incredible for my skin. So grateful for finding something that actually works. Thanks for all the informative videos and recommendations, they've been a lifesaver! 🙌
Did it help with acne? Does it make hyper pigmentation worse?
@@jayeshaw5705 Yes, red light therapy can help with acne by reducing inflammation and promoting skin healing. It typically doesn’t worsen hyperpigmentation and may even improve it by stimulating skin regeneration.
@@jayeshaw5705 Red light therapy can help with acne by reducing inflammation and promoting healing. It’s not known to worsen hyperpigmentation, but results vary. Starting with short sessions and monitoring your skin’s response is a good approach!
I had the Eco mask and I loved it so much, that I am selling it on Poshmark and waiting for my Omnilux to arrive!
Thanks for being my 'go to' for all my skincare questions! I appreciate the honest / open opinions on products.
Thank you for this. I bought the Current Body and their «neck & deck» a week ago, and I have used it every day for 5 days straight now. It has the same specs as the Omnilux. I am so excited to see what it can do for my mature skin. So glad I found your video. Gives me hope when people comment that they have visible results from LED treatment.
How are your results since posting your comment? I just purchased the Current Series 2 mask.
Omnilux caused melasma for me. I always felt that it generated some heat. I used it on a couple of days when it was quite humid --the company should warn against this--and out popped melasma. If I had ever hear of melasma before I would never have used it in humid conditions. Unfortunately, this was my introduction to the subject.
I had just purchased the Omnilux mask and have just started using it. I am much older and get pigmentation Marie’s on my face and creams do not seem to work. It was nice to hear from a professional that I made the right choice in home devices.
I also use red light therapy and use the time for prayer and meditation.. ❤
I was so happy to see this - I need a red light mask but I’ve no idea where to start when choosing one. I’ll just copy you and I can’t go wrong. I’m hoping they are hundreds not thousands
Yes, please do a review of various red light at home LED devices
I would love if you'd do a video comparing LED masks and report to us which one are the best 🙏
I’ve done a lot of research into red and near-infrared therapy and have drawn the conclusion that (without portability being a consideration) you’re better off buying a high quality panel if you can afford it. The reason I say this is that you get better irradiance for your money, plus you can use the device all over your body and reap those benefits. Much better bang for your bucks
Which one you recommend? Thanks
Yeah which would you recommend?
please recommend one
PlatniumLED Biomax
I've got the hooga 500. Big enough for daily usage if wanted.
I have been using 360beluxe face and neck mask, and I can tell the results are spectacular, I even recommend to my friends and family, everyone should enjoy about the benefits of the light therapy at home !! I use it at night all days..
Based on how thorough you are with your research I’m going with your suggestion as I have been looking into this for probably over a year and the fact that you were so thorough was all I needed to be convinced so thank you for this great video.
I had a mask, not omnilux and recently purchased a Mito red panel. The panels are definitely much brighter light and can be used on any part of the body.
I just received mine a few days ago and haven’t started to use it yet. I’m really happy that you posted this video, it validates my decision, I hesitated for a long time whether to buy it. Thanks!😊
I have the Inferno from EMR, BEST $1,000 I've ever spent! It does my neck, chest, legs, and all of that gets wrinkles too!! It also helps with soreness after the gym.
Which one did you get?
Planet fitness has this as a part of their gym package !
Yes, I would love a video comparing devices. Please include Qure (just 3 min a day wear time). Thank you for all you do to keep us informed and educated!
I love the Omni lux mask!! Seeing some subtle results after 30 days already.
I just got the Omnilux mask yesterday, so I’ve used it twice so far. I’m excited to see what kind of results I can get. Instead of investing in the next mask, I decided just to do a second session and position it on my neck and chest. I know it’s not perfect like the neck/chest mask, but what can it hurt to try to get a two for one with one mask since it’s already so expensive.
I am going to try this too for my neck and chest!! Have you seen any improvements?
Yes, please let us know if it was effective :)
Smart.
Brilliant,Hot Thang,U are!!!
How has it worked on the neck and chest after several months?
Don’t forget to use it in your 🙌🏼 hands 🩵
I bought & love the omnilux for face. It was an investment but I love it. I also use it on my neck and chest as the second piece would have made it a lot more expensive. I am wondering what your thoughts are on the nuface current device? I recently saw a review by 2 dermatologists who said not to waste your money . I love that we have professionals giving us the real truth . Thank you.
I LOVE my Omnilux! I have face, neck & hands. I have my husband using it as well!!
For how long have you been using the devices & what changes have you observed?
@@aliay92 I've had mine for about a year. It helps with fine lines and wrinkles. My skin is so glowy and healthy looking.
@@denisegrosch2744 I'm delighted to know this! Thank you for the reply. 💜
I have been wondering about an at home device (I use the red light therapy booth at the gym) and LOVE that you did this review - thank you! I also SO appreciate everyone’s comments in their experience - so helpful!!
Iam 62 and yes I want to try it but was not sure which one to buy because I had heard not all of them were that good but I trust your recommendation and I would like to try it
I use the Mito Red light panel. I like that it covers more area. Thank you for sharing!
Would red light therapy affect my thyroid? I have Hashimoto and currently pregnant. Love your videos. Always looking forward to them !
Thank you! I have Hashimotos too! I’m not concerned because we wouldn’t expect the depth of light penetration to reach the level of the thyroid.
@@DrSamElliswhat about NIR?
Yes please do a video about other options like handheld and panels. Thank you for asking 😊
I’ve been on the fence about red light therapy but you fully answered all my questions. I’m definitely going with Omnilux as I have previously looked at a bunch of other brands and Omnilux sets itself apart just by the sheer amount of information they give you.
Also!! Would love to see a video where you do your own basic morning and nighttime skincare routine for the day :) I know youve posted a lot of specific routines, but more of a personal morning/evening what you do every day!
I have the Omnilux face and neck mask see great results w/ skin radiance and fine lines!😊
I have a Mito Red Light Panel with NIR that I use for my rosacea and love it because it covers my face, neck, chest, arms, and hands as well. A treatment time for each area is 10 min so for me to treat all areas takes 30 min but if I only wanted to cover my face it would only take 10 min because of the intensity of the light. I have one of the smallest panels which is the reason it takes 30 min to treat all the areas I do. It has been wonderful for my rosacea in combination with some topical serums. I also found that green light therapy was very soothing to my skin when it was at its most inflamed but have not needed to use that in more than a year. The rejuvenation changes in my skin has been striking with increased firmness, smoothness, decreased pigmentation from sun damage.
Hello! I have a Mito bulb and I'm hesitant to use it because I hear it could agravate melasma. But I have rosacea and would like to try it for that. Are you still happy with the results?
@@anapatrao6092 Yes, very much so. I don't have melasma so I don't have to worry about that. I think there were some reports that if you turned off the NIR bulbs and just used the red bulbs that would prevent it from aggravating the melasma.
Her voice timber and rhythm is driving me CRAZY!!!!
Thank you for this!!! Your videos are so helpful. Please do other red light mask comparisons!!!
I recently purchased the Dermalux Flex MD and I LOVE it. It's not a mask, you have to put your face inside a dome for 30 min, so it's not super convenient, but I feel great after using it.
I would love to see more affordable options discussed. Thank you for this video!
sadly, the more affordable ones are usually very gimmicky; not the correct wavelength!
Has anyone tried silkin device??
I thought I read not to use this type of therapy on your throat and thyroid. What are your thoughts? Thank You!
@@elenamaria8063 That maybe Near Infrared Light and not Red Light, but I could be wrong.
@@elenamaria8063 Penn Smith has a few videos on light therapy as well as Angie from Hot and Flashy.
Dr. Ellis, I'm late to this video so you may not see this message but thank you so much for mentioning melasma. I've been wanting to use red light therapy but have melasma and wasn't sure if it was safe. 🤗
Yes I would consider using this therapy. I'm 75 and have pretty decent skin for my age as far as wrinkles go but what I miss the most is the even skin tone of my youth. Around 40 I got Rosacea and started using foundation that before I'd only used on special occasions. I would much prefer to use something like this that is actually causing your body to heal from the inside out than lotions and potions that who knows if they are really working.
And yes, please do a review of a few of them!
I do have both of these red light items and I love them! I started with the face and then added the neck and you are right they do cost some dollars but you don’t have to leave home to use them and I love that. So glad these are the ones you recommended since I have them both.
I would love a video comparing devices please. Seriously thinking about getting one but somewhat lost as to which one to go for.
Great video! For about a year, I’ve been using & loving the results from my Omnilux for face. So much that I’m thinking about buying the Omnilux for neck next.
Me too. I’m probably getting my neck one within a month or so. I love it!
Is there a best time to buy (ie, Black Friday, special codes from anyone?) or is the cost fairly constant?
I have the sensse led mask and just started using this week. I also use the NuFace mini x😊❤
I’m using a Mito Pro 300 ( love it ) Finally about to try a Nuface Mini! Arriving tomorrow.. How do you like it ?? ♥️🕊💋
@@cococgb5389 I love the NuFace mini and it’s definitely helping plump up my skin too. I am on Dermatica treatment too and use the sensse led mask. Need all the help at 54 lol x
@@denisecharlton8040 Thank You for letting me know!
♥️🕊💋
@@cococgb5389 very welcome!. Hope you see results and enjoy using it! X
After years of experimenting with anti aging products, I have come to the conclusion that only a few products really help. These are a red light mask (pay attention to the right frequencies), the NuFace and skin products with good, natural ingredients.
You look great and youthful! How long have you been using this device? I recently purchased a full body red light/inferred light. Gradually, I am seeing results with wrinkles, sleep, and wound healing.
I’ve had mine for 2 years and definitely noticed a difference in my skin texture & redness. My question is how do you clean it? Would also love to know your thoughts on the Omnilux vs Dr Dennis Gross version. Love your channel!
They said you can clean it with baby wipes. I just got mine and after each use I wipes it down with a damp tissue and a drop of mild hand soap.
Thank you!!
@@debrany1015baby wipes would leave a residue which would impede the light from reaching your skin properly.
I am looking into the various models/types ….and would like to purchase in the next 30 days. I have already made the decision to purchase.
Which one did you purchased?
I’ve had my Omnilux for almost a year now and love it! I am 29 and don’t have many signs of aging yet (🙌🏼) but I do find this helps my skin look healthier and glowier than without using it. I did a good bit of research before purchasing a red light mask, glad to know I picked right!
Who has wrinkles at 29 .....
It all depends how have you treated your skin but prevention is key! Don’t wait until you need it
29! I didn’t have “signs of aging” til 50. So you’re giving credit to a machine that you don’t even need. You look great cause you’re young. Enjoy that beauty and don’t waste your time dwelling on imaginary “imperfections “. In your 60s you’ll look at photos of yourself at 29 and be shocked at how beautiful you were and shocked that you ever criticized yourself.
@@missmayflowerThere’s nothing wrong with using skincare equipment like LED masks as preventative measures against skin aging. An ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure. It’s much harder to undo signs of aging and skin damage than it is to make an effort to curb those changes to begin with.
Finally took the plunge & bought it using your code. 👍🏼 I had been 👀 it for way too long.
I have been using a current body led mask for face and neck for a few months. The investment was worth it, my skin looks better overall, I have also been quite consistent with my skincare so perhaps not all is due to the mask. However, I am sure it has had a good impact and will continue to use it.
I just bought this same device from Omnilux recently. Still haven't unboxed and tried it yet though, but this one seemed the best to me too after my research!
It’s great you will love it!
After research, I purchased the same Omnilux mask, several months ago. To be honest, I have not seen a difference, but I have not been very diligent in my usage. I will use it regularly going forward, and see if it improves anything. Maybe I am too old lol.
I'm 80 and look in my 60's. Been using the Omnilux mask for about 18 months. I am a healthy eater. get lots of exercise and plenty of sleep....my Oura ring proves it. You're never too old...Lol.
I am 65 years old & diligent. Followed the instructions of 5 x a week for 6 weeks. Now I’m doing 3x a week. Ended up with very dry skin. So I reduced my tretinoin, that I’ve been doing for 10 years from 5x a week to 3x a week due to peeling. Still too drying. Reduced the strength from 0.05 to 0.025. Less peeling. I’d rather give up the Omnilux than my tretinoin. I’ve seen no improvement.
thank you so much. Have been obsessively looking into red light therapy and appreciate you and all of this information!
Thank you for this. I bought one for xmas. I'm so happy to have you review and recommend my purchase. I trust your opinion and feel so much better for the $$ that i spent on it.
Thank you for the easy, informative breakdown' of red light therapy. I bought the facial mask from Omnilux less than 2 weeks ago and I am excited to incorporate this in my skincare routine.
Would love to see this compared to the Dr. Dennis Gross mask, as I’m stuck between the two and not sure which one to purchase
Yay! I picked the right one. Now I have to get back to my consistent use.
We purchased the irestore hair device after watching one of your videos and my husband has already started seeing an improvement. I have a question regarding nail lamps that are used for curing gel nail polish 💅 (such as shellac for example) is it harmful if you have your nails done regularly? Why doesn’t anybody talk about this? 🤔
I read a recent study that concluded the UV nail dryers do damage DNA in the skin. So make sure you are using an LED nail dryer, which does not.
U answered my #1 question about if its ok to have my eyes open during a treatment. Thank u!
It would’ve been nice to see a before and after, and also did you discuss any positive changes to your skin, other than treatment for rosacea?
She mentioned the reduction of fine lines around her mouth and under her eyes.
@@cw5451 The major skin influencers on RUclips show before and after pics. It’s to be expected. And they’re very helpful.
Yes, I want an Omnilux, planning on getting one in a couple of months.
🙌🏼 I think they’re having a Mother’s Day sale now
@@DrSamEllis Thanks, I splurged and got it before I expected to
I have considered red light therapy and have looked at some lights but was more considering going to a salon for it. I was more interested in the mental/mood benefits actually but thanks for the rec! Here those are almost $400 reasonable but when you said a couple hundred I was hoping for less. Great review!
Planet Fitness has a full body tube although I think red light may be bad
In interested in the mood effects too. Have you found much about this?
I have a large panel that does red & NIR wavelengths and it boosts my mood big time
I use light every day. Since I started using light, the benefits have really grown. I find I can now see for miles and no longer need to use headlamps when driving.
Thanks Dr. Ellis….I’m liking your content more and more. PLEASE don’t ever go down the road of “sponsorship” or start touting your own products. There are too few unbiased, trustworthy influencers left anymore.
Yes, I would invest in a red light mask! Currently looking for which one to purchase. Thank you for the info!
Love the idea of LED light therapy but recently heard about growths developing on the skin while being exposed to the lights of those devices.
Now I’m a little hesitant to use it…
Any advice?
Thanks a lot in advance☺️
I have melasma and I want to know the difference between the Omnilux that increases melasma and the standard one that does not aggravate melasma?
12:02 I bought the Mito red light panel. It’s heavy and not easy to move around but gets my face and neck. I’ve been using it since October for 10 min every other day and I feel like my skin feels better and looks better. I would love a mask for convenience and to travel with.
I use the Omnilux mask and it’s brilliant. I travel a lot too and it comes with me everywhere....
Yes please do a comparative show of the red light apparatus’s.
