For a beauty editor, I’m somewhat of a skeptic when it comes to
techy skincare tools
. I listen to my fellow editors (and dermatologists!) rave all day about
at-home LED tools
like the
Lyma Laser Pro
and
microcurrent devices
like the
Medicube Age-R Booster Pro
, all promising “glass skin” and snatched jawlines. Still, I shake my head in disbelief. Why? Because partly, it all sounds too good to be true. But mostly, it’s because I’m scared of them, and I’m not ashamed to admit it!
As someone who grew up fearing sunburns and
slathering on the sunscreen
, who eliminated certain foods from her diet after learning they’re large causes of cancer, and who never touched her hands to her face in middle school for fear of developing pimples, it sounded antithetical to press an electronic device against my skin and hope it didn’t fry my brain. But something about the
Omnilux Contour Mask
(a popular
red light therapy mask
) caught my attention—and no, it didn’t totally have to do with the fact that
Bella Hadid
and
Jasmine Tookes
are fans. That’s only part of the reason.

What Is Red Light Therapy?
If you’re interested in learning more about this device, we have to start with the main event:
red light therapy
. These low-level light wavelengths are used in skincare treatments for a myriad of reasons—most relating to anti-aging—and were once only available in a dermatologist’s office. But with the ever-growing category of red light tools, including
handheld wands
,
showerheads
, and
vibration plates
, it’s easier than ever to take these techy treatments home.

“LED masks use specific wavelengths of light to stimulate biological processes in the skin without causing injury or downtime through a process called photobiomodulation,” board-certified dermatologist and Director of Cosmetic Dermatology at Montefiore Einstein Advanced Care
Kseniya Kobets, MD
, tells Who What Wear. “Red light (around 633 nm) helps calm inflammation and stimulates fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin, while near-infrared light (around 830 nm) penetrates deeper and may help support tissue repair and collagen production,” she explains. Omnilux’s Contour mask is essentially a supercharged, award-winning, FDA-cleared mask for all of your skin-softening, cellular repairing, and collagen-producing needs.

To see for myself, I tested the product for 13 days—though I now plan on wearing it for much longer. Keep reading for my full review.
Important!
This mask, just like many red light gadgets on the market, is not suitable for pregnancy, anyone trying to become pregnant, nor anyone breastfeeding. If any of the above fits your bill, bookmark this review for later.

The Omnilux Contour Face Mask is a flexible, strap-on mask that you wear for 10 minutes (it will automatically shut off after the time is up so you never worry about accidentally wearing it for too long) for three to five days a week. While the brand states that results are most noticeable after four to six weeks of use, I was able to spot a few differences in just two weeks of wear. What results, you may ask? Allow me to explain.
This mask utilizes a mix of eye-safe red and near-infrared light bulbs inside the silicone face. The FDA-cleared device offers a noninvasive, dermatologist-recommended 10-minute treatment that stimulates collagen development and repair at the cellular level. With consistent and long-term use, wearers will experience the minimization of fine lines and wrinkles, tauter skin, and a smoother complexion.

“The goal isn’t dramatic lifting or wrinkle removal but gradual improvements in skin quality—including smoother texture, softer fine lines, reduced redness, and healthier-looking skin with consistent use,” Kobets explains. I also found this mask to be great for rosacea, as the cocktail of lights was able to reduce the appearance of my skin’s natural redness within this short testing period. (If you want to target
acne
, your best bet would be the
Omnilux Clear
.)
“Omnilux remains one of my go-to recommendations because it uses wavelengths that have some of the strongest supporting data behind them: 633nm red light and 830nm near-infrared light,” she adds. “It
