Omnilux LED therapy uses specific wavelengths of light applied at the skin surface.

For suitable individuals, it may be used as part of a cosmetic treatment plan to support overall skin quality, comfort and appearance, including after certain in-clinic procedures.

LED Therapy (Omnilux)

Why some people consider LED Therapy

For appropriate candidates, LED therapy may be used with the intention of:

  • Providing a relaxing, non-invasive session as part of a broader skin-care plan

  • Supporting the appearance of redness-prone or reactive skin

  • Offering adjunctive care after selected procedures, where recommended by the treating practitioner

It is not used to diagnose, treat or cure medical skin conditions.

How it works

During treatment:

  • The face (or other area) is exposed to specific wavelengths of light (for example, red, near-infrared or blue), delivered by an LED device

  • This light is absorbed by skin cells and is intended to support normal cellular processes and surface comfort

Exact protocols (wavelengths, timing and frequency) are chosen by your practitioner based on device guidelines and your skin, history and other treatments.

Devices used in the clinic are included in the ARTG where required and are operated according to their instructions for use.

Safety, risks & aftercare

All light-based procedures carry some risk, even when non-invasive. Before LED therapy, your practitioner will:

  • Review relevant medical history, medications and any tendency to photosensitivity

  • Confirm that you do not have specific contraindications (for example, certain light-sensitive conditions or medications)

  • Explain the proposed plan, potential benefits, limitations and alternatives (including not treating)

  • Provide aftercare instructions appropriate to your situation and any other treatments performed that day

  • LED therapy may be used, in suitable individuals, to support the appearance of redness-prone or reactive skin, to complement other cosmetic treatments, and to provide gentle, non-invasive light exposure as part of a broader skin-care plan. It is considered adjunctive, not a stand-alone medical treatment.

  • LED therapy is generally well tolerated in appropriate candidates and is non-invasive, but it is not suitable for everyone. People with known photosensitivity, certain eye conditions, epilepsy triggered by light, or those taking specific medications (for example, some antibiotics or retinoids) may not be suitable. Suitability is assessed individually, and devices are used in accordance with their instructions for use.

  • Most people find LED sessions comfortable, describing a feeling of gentle warmth. It is not designed to be painful, though light and warmth sensations can vary between individuals and device settings.

  • A typical LED session takes around 15–30 minutes, depending on the area treated and the protocol being used.

  • LED therapy is often used as a course of sessions to build a cumulative effect, for example across several weeks. The number and frequency of sessions depend on your goals, skin type and any other treatments, and will be discussed with you; specific outcomes cannot be promised.

  • Yes, LED therapy is commonly used as a supportive step after other in-clinic procedures (such as certain resurfacing or needling treatments), when your practitioner considers it appropriate. Timing and combinations are planned to support safety and comfort.

  • Short-term warmth or pinkness is common and usually settles quickly. Less commonly, some people may experience irritation or light sensitivity, particularly if they have underlying photosensitive conditions or are on certain medications. These risks are discussed in consultation.

  • Aftercare is usually simple and may include:

    • Using gentle skincare, especially if other procedures were performed

    • Applying broad-spectrum SPF 50+ and limiting sun exposure

    • Following any additional instructions related to companion treatments on the same day

    If you notice unexpected or persistent symptoms, you should seek medical advice and let the clinic know.

  • Some people feel their skin looks more settled or “glowy” after a number of sessions, especially when LED is combined with a consistent skincare routine. Any change is subjective, varies between individuals and cannot be guaranteed.

  • LED therapy is generally avoided or used with caution in people with photosensitive conditions, those taking certain photosensitising medications, those with specific eye conditions, and individuals where light exposure could trigger seizures or other issues. Your practitioner will ask about these factors and may recommend not proceeding or seeking medical advice first if there is any concern.
