How does Omnilux technology differ from Laser Treatment?
Light Therapy is non-ablative, meaning it does not cut, burn or breakthe surface of the skin (epidermis) as with Laser treatment. Lasers useheat and light to vaporize or remove skin tissue to evoke a healingresponse over 1 to 4 months. Even so-called “gentle lasers”, whichleave the skin intact, create microscopic wounds on 15 to 20% of theskin surface, and cause redness for up to a week with some flaking asthe skin regenerates. Omnilux technologies produce no heat,vaporization or burning of surrounding tissue, and thus, noinflammation (swelling) and no erythema (redness) followingirradiation, and therefore “no downtime”. With Omnilux technology thereare some immediate, visible changes to skin, but most changes occurnaturally over a few weeks at the cellular level. Optimal results areseen 9-12 weeks from the start of the treatment course.
