What Is Omnilux Natural Light Therapy?

Omnilux Natural Light Therapy is a revolutionary method that helps eliminate stubborn acne for patients of all ages. According to Dr. Donald Lee of Biz Med Spa, a beauty spa and cosmetic surgery center in Fremont, Omnilux Natural Light Therapy uses a type of concentrated and very focused LED light to get rid of blemishes immediately.
LED is the newest form of light to be used for cosmetic purposes. As Dr. Lee explains, Omnilux Natural Light Therapy can be used with a red light, a blue light, or an infrared light – depending on what the Fremont cosmetic surgery patient is trying to accomplish.
Of the three types of lights mentioned, Dr. Lee explains that the blue light is the one light that is used to kill bacteria. Because this blue LED light can be used to kill certain types of bacteria, it is the perfect solution for people who want to get rid of acne without drying out their skin.
The typical way that dermatologists used to treat acne was with a harsh light, but that would act as an astringent and dry out the skin. If a person uses a drying agent on the skin, then what happens is the sebaceous gland, which is the oil forming gland, will naturally produce more oil to keep the skin from getting dry. Therefore, the body will keep ramping up its oil production the more a person tries drying out his or her skin, and that person will never get to the ultimate goal of having clear skin.
Antibiotics were also used by dermatologists, but those would ultimately become harmful because the bacteria was able to build up a resistance to the antibiotics over time. For females, the problems with traditional acne treatments were especially egregious because those antibiotics led to yeast infections.
With the use of a special blue light, a Fremont cosmetic surgery expert like Dr. Lee can kill the bacteria that causes acne without drying out the skin or causing an untoward side effects. Once the bacteria has been suppressed, it will stop growing and the acne will clear up.
The next step in the process, explains Dr. Lee, would be to use to Omnilux red light. The red light stabilizes the mitochondria and helps improve the appearance of the skin.
Finally, the last stage of the Omnilux Natural Light Therapy uses an infrared light. The term infrared means that a light has a very long wavelength—an even longer wavelength than red light. The Fremont cosmetic surgery expert explains that infrared light has the longest wavelength known to man, which is saying something. By utilizing the infrared’s light’s deep penetrations, doctors can stimulate collagen formations deep in the skin. This is an economical and affordable way to help people tighten their skin. It is also a good compliment to the Thermage treatment.
