I Wore the Celeb-Approved Omnilux Face Mask for 14 Days

For a beauty editor, I’m somewhat of a skeptic when it comes to techy skincare tools. I listen to my fellow editors (and dermatologists!) rave all day about at-home LED tools like the Lyma Laser Pro and microcurrent devices like the Medicube Age-R Booster Pro, all promising “glass skin” and snatched jawlines. Still, I shake my head in disbelief. Why? Because partly, it all sounds too good to be true. But mostly, it’s because I’m scared of them, and I’m not ashamed to admit it!

As someone who grew up fearing sunburns and slathering on the sunscreen, who eliminated certain foods from her diet after learning they’re large causes of cancer, and who never touched her hands to her face in middle school for fear of developing pimples, it sounded antithetical to press an electronic device against my skin and hope it didn’t fry my brain. But something about the Omnilux Contour Mask (a popular red light therapy mask) caught my attention—and no, it didn’t totally have to do with the fact that Bella Hadid and Jasmine Tookes are fans. That’s only part of the reason.

What Is Red Light Therapy?

If you’re interested in learning more about this device, we have to start with the main event: red light therapy. These low-level light wavelengths are used in skincare treatments for a myriad of reasons—most relating to anti-aging—and were once only available in a dermatologist’s office. But with the ever-growing category of red light tools, including handheld wands, showerheads, and vibration plates, it’s easier than ever to take these techy treatments home.

“LED masks use specific wavelengths of light to stimulate biological processes in the skin without causing injury or downtime through a process called photobiomodulation,” board-certified dermatologist and Director of Cosmetic Dermatology at Montefiore Einstein Advanced Care Kseniya Kobets, MD, tells Who What Wear. “Red light (around 633 nm) helps calm inflammation and stimulates fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin, while near-infrared light (around 830 nm) penetrates deeper and may help support tissue repair and collagen production,” she explains. Omnilux’s Contour mask is essentially a supercharged, award-winning, FDA-cleared mask for all of your skin-softening, cellular repairing, and collagen-producing needs.

To see for myself, I tested the product for 13 days—though I now plan on wearing it for much longer. Keep reading for my full review.

What Is the Omnilux Face Mask?

The Omnilux Contour Face Mask is a flexible, strap-on mask that you wear for 10 minutes (it will automatically shut off after the time is up so you never worry about accidentally wearing it for too long) for three to five days a week. While the brand states that results are most noticeable after four to six weeks of use, I was able to spot a few differences in just two weeks of wear. What results, you may ask? Allow me to explain.

This mask utilizes a mix of eye-safe red and near-infrared light bulbs inside the silicone face. The FDA-cleared device offers a noninvasive, dermatologist-recommended 10-minute treatment that stimulates collagen development and repair at the cellular level. With consistent and long-term use, wearers will experience the minimization of fine lines and wrinkles, tauter skin, and a smoother complexion.
