Omnilux Photo Therapy
Acne / Laser Healing / Collagen Stimulation / PDT with Levulan
The healing quality of light has been
understood for centuries.
Omnilux Photo Therapy uses narrow band wavelength
light to treat a wide variety of dermatological
conditions ranging from skin rejuvenation to the
medical destruction of non melanoma skin cancers.
Regenerate and Stimulate
Collagen
Using a combination of different lights delivered at
different times we are able to stimulate the
cells that help counteract the effects of
aging. Light enhances not only DNA synthesis, but
also augments cellular tissue regeneration
including collagen deposition.
Light at specific wavelengths is known to stimulate
tissue and influence restructuring of
collagen to firm skin tissue and minimize fine
wrinkles. As we grow older, the cells that
manufacture the skins supportive structures begin to
slow down. Environmental damage from the sun speeds
up this process and produces free radicals that
damage the skin and the cells that synthesize
collagen and elastin.
Using a combination of different lights delivered at
different times we are able to stimulate these cells
that help counteract the effects of ageing. Omnilux
stimulates natural processes to rejuvenate
the skin.

Our multi-wavelength Omnilux
Light Therapy
system provides initial effects you will see by way
of a clearer, brighter and smoother complexion.
In an independent study* over 80% of subjects
reported a softening of fine lines after treatment
and 75% reported improvement in skin softness and
smoothness.

Accelerate "Wound" Healing
Many of the more effective procedures that
counteract aging and alter skin structure and
surface do so by purposefully "wounding" the skin
tissue. Whether by the use of lasers, heat, light or
chemicals, this controlled wounding elicits a
response from the body that improves skin appearance
and texture. Light accelerates the wound
healing response and therefore offers an
effective adjunctive therapy, pre and post laser
surgery. Omnilux reduces pain, swelling and erythema
(redness). OmniluxTM can be used with:
-
Fraxel Non-ablative Laser
-
Fraxel CO2 Re:pair Ablative Laser
Fraxel CO2 Re:pair Laser
-
Chemical Peels
-
Intense Pulsed Light - IPL
Photofacial
This gentle light therapy
conditions the skin, reduces the side effects
and speeds up the time your tissue takes to
regenerate.

Omnilux treatments are included with
your
Fraxel CO2 Re:pair treatments. You will receive
treatments immediately prior to, immediately after
and at initial follow-up visits to help speed
healing, reduce redness and support new collagen
production.
Since this premium light therapy is an important
part of your Fraxel Re:pair procedure Dr. Pilest has
chosen to add Omnilux Photo Therapy at no additional
cost.

Study
groups have shown that near Infra-red light (830nm,
Omnilux plusTM)
combined with 633nm, Omnilux ReviveTM
red light accelerates the wound healing response
and therefore offers an effective treatment for the
healing of compromised tissue.
European Clinical Data
Maintain Treatment Results
Omnilux can also be used in combination with your
regular facial treatments and with injections such
as BotoxTM and fillers, helping to maintain the
effect of the treatment. Because the light
stimulates deeper cellular improvements, you will
see further results over the next 4 to 6 months.
Omnilux is a painless procedure with short treatment
times of 10 to 20 minutes. No downtime or recovery
for all indications except PDT.
Dual Wavelengths for Enhanced Light Therapy for Acne
Light therapy turns on the
"self-destruct" mechanism for the P.acnes bacteria
that causes breakouts of chronic acne.

Blue light has been a trusted favorite treatment for
mild to moderate acne for a long time.
The addition of alternate red light
treatments increases the effectiveness of acne light
treatments by acting as an immediate
anti-inflammatory. At Total Dermatology your light
therapy may be preceded by Salipeel to unclog pores.
Acne patients are discovering faster, more visible
response to their acne clearing.
In investigative studies PhotoTherapeutics noted a
mean clearance rate of over 82% at 12 weeks after
the final treatment.
Maximize Effectiveness of Light Based PDT for
Acne and Actinic Keratosis
Omnilux PDT is a light based photodynamic
therapy for the resolution of acne, sun damage and
actinic keratosis. The red light wave length of the
Ominlux LED system drives the topical solutions
deeper into the abnormal cells of acne and sun
damaged skin. This increased penetration depth means
more serious action on the cells that are to be
destroyed.
