Key specifications
  • Wavelengths: 633 nm red, 830 nm near infrared and 1072 nm near infrared on the product page. The user guide lists red at 630 nm ±10, near infrared at 830 nm ±10 and near infrared at 1070 nm ±20
  • LEDs: 132 LEDs in 66 bulbs, two per bulb. Omnilux doesn't say how many LEDs emit each of the three wavelengths
  • Irradiance: About 30 mW/cm² according to Omnilux's FAQ, with no measuring distance and no split by wavelength
  • Session: 10 minutes, a fixed program. Omnilux suggests 3 to 5 treatments a week for 4 to 6 weeks, then maintenance as desired. The user guide says 3 to 5 days a week for at least 4 weeks
  • FDA status: Omnilux says it's FDA cleared for full-face wrinkles. FDA's device record for Omnilux Men's (model TN2227) lists product codes OHS (light based over-the-counter wrinkle reduction) and ILY (lamp, infrared, therapeutic heating), with no 510(k) number
  • Power: Rechargeable lithium-ion polymer battery in the controller. Capacity and charge time aren't stated. The adapter takes 100 to 240 V at 0.25 A and outputs 5 V. The mask can't be used while charging
  • Eye safety: Omnilux says the mask needs no eye protection and conforms to IEC/EN 62471. The user guide says to stop a session if you get severe headaches or unusual changes in vision
  • Age and first use: Intended for users 21 and older. The user guide requires a sensitization test first: run one 10-minute session on the inner arm, then wait at least 6 hours and check for redness or itching

  • Session length: HigherDOSE suggests 10 or 20 minutes. The FDA summary lists a 10-minute session delivering 12 J/cm² red and 18 J/cm² near-infrared
  • FDA status: 510(k) cleared September 27, 2024 (K241933, model MK66-L) as an over-the-counter device for full-face wrinkles
