If you’ve been researching LED light therapy or searching for the best Omnilux mask in Ada or Grand Rapids, Michigan, you’re not alone — this is one of the most common questions we hear at Skin CoLAB. Here’s a clear breakdown of the differences between Omnilux Contour, Omnilux Clear, and Omnilux Men, plus expert insight from our licensed providers.
1. Omnilux Contour — Anti-Aging + Skin Health
Wavelengths:
Red (633 nm)
Near-Infrared (830 nm)
What it does:
Boosts collagen and elastin
Firms and plumps the skin
Improves overall glow and long-term skin health
Best for: Aging concerns, dullness, fine lines, general rejuvenation.
If you’re looking for an LED mask to support aging well or improve radiance, Contour is the top choice and remains one of our most-recommended devices at Skin CoLAB.
2. Omnilux Clear — Acne + Inflammation
Wavelengths:
Blue (415 nm)
Red (633 nm)
What it does:
Blue light kills acne-causing bacteria
Red light reduces inflammation and regulates oil
Supports healing and helps prevent future breakouts
Best for: Active breakouts, congestion, oily skin, acne-prone teens and adults.
If you’re Googling “best LED mask for acne near me,” this is the one you’re looking for.
3. Omnilux Men — Designed for Thicker Skin
Wavelengths:
Red (633 nm)
Near-Infrared (830 nm + 1072 nm)
What it does:
Supports collagen and elastin
Reaches deeper tissue for thicker, denser male skin
1072 nm penetrates more deeply than the Contour
Important note:Deeper penetration is not “better” — it’s simply designed for male skin structure.If a woman uses the Men’s mask, the deeper near-infrared wavelengths simply pass beyond the layers we want to target. No harm, but no added benefit.
Best for: Male skin, thicker skin types, and those needing deeper penetration for collagen stimulation.
LED Light Is Also a Key Part of Our Professional Treatments
At Skin CoLAB, red and blue LED light aren’t just for at-home use — we use them every day in our treatment rooms.
