There are few beauty devices as popular as LED face masks right now. With versions that offer red light therapy (and in some cases, near-infrared and blue light modes), these devices promote a host of anti-aging and skin-rejuvenating benefits with minimal treatment time. When I had the opportunity to test out the Omnilux Contour Face, I jumped at the chance to press rewind on my dull, splotchy skin. The device is said to use red and near-infrared lights to reduce the appearance of fine lines, improve hyperpigmentation and stimulate collagen production. After using it for six weeks, my smile lines appear less noticeable, and I’ve noticed a significant reduction in overall skin redness.

In my testing, I found that the Omnilux Contour Face was a comfortable, user-friendly LED mask that helped reduce redness and the appearance of fine lines with consistent use.

For $395, the Omnilux Contour Face is on the pricier side, but it’s a long-term investment—it’s meaningfully cheaper than in-office treatments and incredibly convenient because you can use it any time in your own home. While you need to wear this mask consistently as directed to see results—the recommendation is 10 minutes of use three to five times per week—the Omnilux LED mask is a worthwhile skincare tool if you’re looking to minimize acne scarring, decrease fine lines and improve skin texture. (It’s also our top silicone pick in our tested evaluation of the best LED face masks.) When testing the Omnilux Contour Face, I took detailed notes observing the device’s features, feel and results; here’s what stood out the most.

Portable And Easy To Use

This FDA-cleared device is hands-free and powered by a lightweight, palm-sized controller that you charge before use. It’s pre-programmed to provide 10-minute sessions, and you wear it from three to five times per week. It’s recommended that you use the Omnilux Contour Face for four to six weeks and then continue with maintenance. The device comes with four attachments to allow for international use in different outlets, as well as a fabric storage bag, making it very easy to pack for travel.

Comfortable Feel With Minor Drawbacks

While all LED and red light therapy masks are pain-free and require no downtime, the Omnilux device stands out for comfort. It’s made with soft, flexible silicone as opposed to rigid plastic like some other LED masks, so it contours to your face when you tighten and secure the two rear Velcro straps. The nose area accommodates various nose shapes, and the mask is designed so that it doesn’t press uncomfortably on any specific area of your face while you wear it. During testing, the mask didn’t cause my face to feel hot, and the flexible silicone was incredibly comfortable to wear—it didn’t create annoying pressure points anywhere, and it didn’t feel suffocating.

Because the mask doesn’t come with eye inserts, however, the bright light would sometimes irritate my eyes if I didn’t keep them closed. My only other gripe is that the straps were too thin to keep it securely on my face if I decided to move around; thicker straps or an additional strap would help address this issue.

Proven Results

While some beauty devices may have dubious results, LED masks are popular for their efficacy. The Omnilux device features 132 medical-grade LED lights in red (633nm) and near-infrared (830nm) wavelengths that are strategically positioned around your forehead, cheeks, chin and nose. It works to reduce wrinkles, improve acne, decrease inflammation, refine skin texture and stimulate collagen production. In clinical studies after four weeks, 95% of Omnilux Contour Face users reported visibly brighter and plumper skin, 98% reported firmer skin and 96% said their fine lines appeared less visible after 12 treatments.

How I Tested The Omnilux Contour Face Mask

Setting up the Omnilux Contour Face is very simple. I plugged in the controller without the connected mask to charge and waited for the three lights to illuminate. I then connected the mask to the controller and securely attached it to my face with the two straps—one over my ponytail and the other at the nape of my neck.

Since I am generally rushing in the morning to get organized for the day, I preferred to wear the Omnilux Contour Face at night before bed. I’d prep my face by washing it and patting it dry.

I’d wear the device with my eyes shut while listening to the TV or checking emails on my phone during my 10-minute session. (The device also turns off automatically at the end of each pre-programmed session, which is a nice feature.)

After use, I gently wiped down the mask with a slightly damp microfiber cloth, let it air dry, and then placed it back in the provided storage bag to prevent it from attracting any lint.

During the first four weeks of use, I wore the device five times per week; during weeks five and six, I only wore it three times per week. The company recommends using the device for at least four weeks to see results.

Is The Omnilux Contour Face Mask Worth It?

While I’m skeptical of most beauty devices because I’ve historically been frustrated by inflated promises, I found the Omnilux Contour Face created visible results. I am in my 40s and come from an Irish and German background—what this combination means for me is that I have fine lines, uneven skin tone and an unfortunate amount of skin redness that seems to increase with age.

I like that the Omnilux mask is non-invasive and treats visible signs of aging and damaged skin, which I have a fair amount of after working as a lifeguard while in high school and college. I found that it made my skin appear more plump and less dull, it seemed to visibly reduce the parentheses lines around my mouth, and it decreased the redness and inflammation on my face, especially around my nose and on my cheeks. It also seems to have kept my intermittent bouts with adult acne at bay. I plan to continue using it weekly, albeit not as frequently, to maintain results.
