I Used This LED Mask Approved by Bella Hadid for 14 Days—Here Are My Honest, Unfiltered Opinions.

      As a beauty editor, I tend to be a bit skeptical about high-tech skincare gadgets. I hear my fellow editors and dermatologists enthusiastically discuss at-home lasers like the Lyma Laser Pro and microcurrent devices like the Medicube Age-R Booster Pro, which all promise outcomes like "glass skin" and defined jawlines. Still, I find myself shaking my head in disbelief. Why? Partly because it all seems too good to be true, but mostly because I genuinely fear these devices, and I'm not afraid to admit it! Having grown up worried about sunburns and diligently applying sunscreen, and never touching my face in middle school for fear of acne, the idea of pressing an electric gadget against my skin and hoping it wouldn’t cause harm felt counterintuitive. However, something about the Omnilux Contour Mask—a popular LED mask—caught my eye. And no, it’s not solely because of Bella Hadid and Jasmine Tookes being fans; that’s just part of the allure.

      What Is Red Light Therapy?

      If you’re curious to learn more about this device, we need to discuss the centerpiece: red light therapy. These low-level light wavelengths are utilized in skincare treatments for various reasons—mostly concerning anti-aging—and were previously found only in dermatological offices or clinics. With the growing variety of red light tools available, including handheld wands, showerheads, and vibration plates, accessing these tech-forward treatments at home has never been easier. “LED masks employ specific wavelengths of light to spur biological processes in the skin without causing injuries or downtime through a method known as photobiomodulation,” explains board-certified dermatologist and director of Cosmetic Dermatology at Montefiore Einstein Advanced Care, Dr. Kseniya Kobets, to Who What Wear. “Red light (around 633 nm) helps to reduce inflammation and encourages fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin, while near-infrared light (approximately 830 nm) penetrates more deeply and may aid in tissue repair and collagen production,” she notes. Essentially, the Omnilux Contour mask is a powerful, award-winning, FDA-cleared mask designed to cater to all your skin-softening, cellular-repairing, and collagen-producing needs.

      To gauge the results for myself, I used the product for 13 days—though I plan to wear it for much longer. Read on for my complete review. What Is the Omnilux Face Mask?

      Light wavelengths: Red (633nm), near-infrared (830nm) | Usage: 10 min. | Frequency: 3 to 5 days per week

      Pros Great for reducing redness, minimizing the appearance of fine lines, firming skin over time

      The Omnilux Contour Face Mask is a flexible, strap-on mask that you use for 10 minutes; it automatically shuts off once the time is up, so you don’t need to worry about wearing it for too long. The brand states that results are most noticeable after four to six weeks of usage, but I noticed some changes in just two weeks. What changes, you ask? Allow me to elaborate. This mask uses a combination of eye-safe red and near-infrared light bulbs within the silicone mask. The FDA-cleared device provides a non-invasive, dermatologist-recommended 10-minute treatment that stimulates collagen production and cellular repair. With regular and prolonged use, wearers can expect reduced fine lines and wrinkles, firmer skin, and a smoother complexion.

      “The aim isn’t major lifting or wrinkle elimination but rather gradual enhancements in skin quality—such as smoother texture, softer fine lines, diminished redness, and healthier-looking skin with consistent use,” Kobets explains. I also found this mask effective for rosacea, as the blend of lights reduced my skin's natural redness during the short testing period. (If targeting acne, you might want to try the Omnilux Clear.) “Omnilux remains one of my top recommendations because it employs wavelengths backed by robust supporting data: 633nm red light and 830nm near-infrared light,” she adds. “It has been available for a long time and was one of the first brands I turned to for both in-office and at-home LED treatments. While it won't replace professional procedures, it serves as a credible at-home alternative for supporting collagen production, improving skin quality, and maintaining results between treatments.”

      How to Use It

      Using the Omnilux mask is straightforward—though, when I first unboxed the device, I was a bit overwhelmed by the cords, remote, and detailed instructions. Let me simplify it for you! First, charge the handheld remote (referred to as the battery controller in the instructions) with the included plug-in. It takes about five to six hours to fully charge a dead battery, which is indicated when three dots light up on the remote. As
