Jelly, there's a search button that you can use to look through the forums (and it's best to try it before asking people about things that have become commonly known abbreviations on EDS). Also, it's great to go through as many of the threads as possible that are pertaining to your areas of interest - there are MANY threads on the various LEDs, that are bursting with information! Just search LEDs, or scan the Do it Yourself, or even use the 'hot' library button, which will show you some of the most popular threads... Wink

Yes I got my retin a posted to Australia and I didn't pay any tax. As long as the cost of the contents is less than $250 you don't pay customs duty.

ADC will ask the name of your doctor but they don't contact them.

Kassy does the aa stim take forever to use ???? eg the dpl does the whole face at once !

thankyou for sharing your favourites I havent even studied the vaculifter yet. but I love skin rolling !

again about the retin A product girls !!!!
for those ordering it through allday chemist are any girls getting retin a posted to australia. I want to use it with my Omnilux love Jelly xoxoxo

I started by using the DPL unit about 2.5 years ago. The device has a mixture of 20 x 660nm and 154 x 880nm leds - I didn't get a result from using this device, I am not sure why?

I find the Lightstim unit is a fair superior product as also I feel the omnilux hand held is in the same league.

Keliu a 20gm tube of retin a from AAC cost $2.08 last time I purchased it. I bought 12 tubes of it and with the shipping at I think $25, it would've cost around $55AUD for 240gm. How much do you get in a tube for $30?

The Retin-A I get is only a 20gm tube - so, yes, it's much more economical to bulk order from ADC. However, a tube lasts me about 4-6 months so I don't bother.

Oh ok. I use it on my hands and arms also so I go through it fairly quickly.

just got an Omnilux because I found it for a great price,...
I had a strange thing happen yesterday. As I'm in Japan, I've found it almost impossible to eat here without getting 'glutened' - everything contains soy sauce, and soy contains wheat -, or 'shellfished' - normal fish is cut on the same boards with the same knives as shellfish,...
If the omnilux can help with my longterm goal of keeping my eyes firm, and helps to thicken up the damaged skin, I'll be a very happy person.

So, I've only started to link the puffiness with wheat just recently... but only with wheat... Rolling Eyes

Hadn't completely focused on the fact that it is probably because of the gluten in it!! Sad

Must read a bit more about it! The vaculifter did wonders with my eye puffiness but couldn't work out why suddenly out of the blue they would come back one morning even after backing off from wheat,...it's always been after a night out enjoying a lovely Chinese meal toppled with soy sauce! Brick wall

I think I'm going to give the Omnilux a try. I haven't got any LED devices, but my big interest is in recovering the healthy skin around my eyes (years of baggy eyes before realising that wheat was one of the big culprits has left the skin a bit loose and wrinkly Mad

) Must check if I can get it on ebay for a decent price or if there is any distributors around Europe where I can purchase it! Anyone around Europe here could give me any advice as to where I could find it? (I live in Spain)

TIA!

Hi again,
I've been trying to purchase the Omnilux New-U on eBay... having a bit of trouble as to getting on with it regarding the shipping fee for out of USA,...no shipping fee for Europe appears, I put it in manually after consulting about the fee with the seller and the eBay order form page doesn't accept it Mad

! The seller is actually trying to solve this problem.
But in any case, does anyone know of anywhere in Europe where I can purchase it?
I have seen another web page but the price does seem to go up tremendously!
Trigger and Kassy_A, are you still noticing good results around the eyes?
TIA!

I have finally got an Omnilux New-U. My first 'light' gadget.
The instructions is one session of 20 minutes Infrared and 48 hours after, a 20 minutes one of Red... that is it. Next week over again, do a session of Infrared and 48 hours after, one of Red light. And so on, just two sessions a week, one Infrared and one Red... It is supposed to be eight sessions in all, and the results will start to appear afterwards.
Is that how you who have the gadget have being doing it? And anyhow, after so many months how are you getting on with it?
I would sincerely appreciate the answers of users of this gadget.

Hi there,

I have to say that I've been a bit too busy, and a bit too lazy to be keeping up with a few of my beauty routines, and haven't been too motivated with the omnilux. I used it a bunch when I first got it, and haven't used it since. I think a lot of people have trouble keeping up with the LEDs. Mainly because it's such a cumulative process, so results just slowly accrue over time and it's difficult to know where the results are really coming from, if you use a number of different products/tools. I still think it's well made, and intend to pick it up again...

free skin care · Sun Jan 17, 2010 5:54 pm

Thanks trigger,
Well, I already did my first session of infrared two days ago, and just finished the one of Red led... the red light is far 'brighter' than I had expected actually.

I have also decided to use the Red led on the terrible eczema I have right now on my hands, just did my first session of only five minutes each.
I was actually hoping to hear good news... anyhow, as I have the gadget I'll stick to the instructions for the eye area and experiment on my eczema.

Funny that a simple device like this one doesn't make people keep up with it!

I'll try to post back with my results, whether eye wrinkles or eczema wise.

Hugs, A.

ATester,
I also have eczema on my hands and was wondering if my AALS would help. I have used it a few times, but haven't noticed any difference. Have you found anything that has made a difference?

Hi LBH,
No, neither the AALS or the Omnilux helped my eczema, and I tried them out for a long time. What finally helped was have a Food Allergy/Intolerance Test -which was not cheap by the way!- I stopped eating what appeared I was allergic to, and also applied a certain cortisone cream for a while... I still have a certain amount of eczema in one finger, and sometimes flares up more if I'm extra nervous, but otherwise the real bad, bad eczema -both hands covered, bright red and itchy- has subsided, but not with the help of any LED.

Thu Jun 30, 2011 7:26 am

Thanks ATester,

That's too bad...I was hoping for a silver bullet. I noticed you mentioned on another thread that taking zinc seemed to help?

I guess I need to determine if this is a food allergy thing. It just started out of the blue this past winter, and has not gone away. My diet is pretty consistent, so I am not sure what brought it on.

Found these on eBay for 70-100$, thinking of getting one. I already have my Lightstim but I love devices... hmm

I think UV is supposed to work for Eczema. Look at UVBioTek's home phototherapy equipment.

free skin care · Tue Aug 26, 2014 11:57 am

I just got one of these for $55.00 on eBay (with a $5 off coupon eBay gave me and free shipping). Supposedly it's unused but out of the box, I don't care either way. Another LED device! Gonna put my Lightstim down and try this out for a few weeks. Will let you guys know how it all goes.

In my opinion, the reason why they say to use "20 minutes in each spot" with the Omnilux is because they have you using it 2x a week. I plan on using it daily, for 3 mins on each spot, similar to the Lightstim. I really don't think I can hold this thing in place for 20 minutes, unless I plan on ONLY focusing on under eye zone.

free skin care · Tue Aug 26, 2014 1:24 pm

20 minutes in each spot 2x a week = 40 minutes of treatment time each spot.

3 minutes in each spot 5-7 times a week means 15-21 minutes of treatment time each spot. So maybe I'll do 5 minutes in each spot 7 days a week to total 35 minutes of treatment each zone per week. (I'll also switch off, IR light one week, visible red light the next week)

Should be getting it this Saturday. My devices: D'arsonval HF machine, Lightstim for Wrinkles, ReAura, Tria, Clarisonic Mia and NOW Omnilux. Boy oh boy...

Anyone have an omnilux? Can you see if your cord is also hard to plug into the back? Seems like there's maybe a built in clip that holds the cord in? Either way, mine takes some force to plug in.

Got my omnilux yesterday. Got it for $55 on eBay. Dang this sucker is bright! The brightness on the red setting really surprised me. Not saying the brightness means it'll work better but this seems like 2x as bright as my Lightstim.

Gonna try this out for a few weeks, different protocol though. Instead of 20 mins each zone 2x a week that they recommend, I'm doing like 7 mins a zone 5-7 times a week. And will randomly switch back and forth from red to IR. I'm happy with this unit, seems pretty well built despite being light as a feather and again, dang it's bright!

Hi, thanks, yes, I did once have UV recommended by a dermatologist. I actually took full body treatments because the eczema was also over my legs. It did seem to help, but very little. I live in a very sunny place and doesn't help much with eczema, what has helped is moisturising a lot and applying the creams -also treatment creams with cortison- over a damp skin. The applying the creams/oils over an already damp skin was a great discovery for me.

Hi, just tried the plug at the back,... I plugged it in when I purchased it and never bothered to un-plug it from the back of the gadget.. and yes, it seems to make a 'click' when I re-plug it.
I like this gadget but I use it as per instructions, far less time consuming than using it every day, and only for what it is intended, orbicular area. I follow the instructions of use twice a year, sometimes three.
Interested in knowing what results you get from its use fewer minutes/daily on different areas.

Thank you so much for checking your omnilux and seeing that yours is a little hard to click in too. At first I thought the inside was bent but I'm pretty sure it's a built in clip to hold the cord in. But you eased my mind thank you.

Also yeah, for me I don't mind using daily as I use right before I sleep at night. It seems better to me to use for 5-7 minutes each area 5 days a week rather than 2 days with 20 in each area. By the way I only treat 6-8 total zones on my face.

In my opinion the omnilux gets far too hot, I don't like keeping it in one zone for too long, even after 5 mins you sort of feel a burn.

I think the omnilux didn't sell well and become a commodity (as much as the lightstim) because the treatment of 20 mins seems odd to me, I think if people used it like the lightstim then results would be similar, why not. I could be wrong but I'll be the guinea pig Smile

I already love the omnilux, it packs a punch and really blinds you. It definitely has professional type power.
