Product Description

OMNILUX clear-U has been developed from an FDA cleared medical device that has been used by dermatologists worldwide for the successful treatment of acne. OMNILUX clear-U uses light technology in the form of light emitting diodes to: * Destroy the bacteria responsible for the inflammation * Stimulate healthy tissue growth * Decrease inflammation and pore size Acne is NOT caused by bad diet or gresy foods. In fact, acne develops when the sebaceous glands in a person's skin produces ecess oil (sebum). This oil combines with cells that line the gland walls and clogs the skin's pores. Normal skin bacteria colonize these pores and the body's response causes the inflamation or reddening of the skin that we associate with acne. Researchers have discovered that something as simple as light holds the key to clearing up problme skin. When your skin is flooded with alternating blue and red light, the bacteria self destructs and inflammation is decreased. Your acne fades and you skin heals. It's as simple as that! Just 20-minutes treatments per week for four weeks gives you healthier and clearer skin.

3.0 out of 5 stars The blue light works, takes forever!!!!, May 15, 2009

The blue light works and has kept acne at bay but the red light is extremely bright gets really hot and turns off in about 6 minutes. It also breaks me out. It also takes an unbelievable amount of time to do your entire face. You have to hold the light to your face for 20 mins on each area and the device is small so it can take two hours. I am pleased with the results of the blue light and the skin products but I could of just bought a blue light that covers my entire face that only takes 15 mins for half or more than half the price. I'm stuck with this product so I will continue to use it for the blue light but I wouldn't recommend people spending this much. I gave it 3 stars because it is getting rid of my acne.

1.0 out of 5 stars Burned My Skin 3 Months Ago - Photo Therapeutics Inc Still Hasn't Responded, September 1, 2009

This review is from: Omnilux Clear-U (Health and Beauty)

My reason for writing this review is to warn others about this device and Photo Therapeutics Inc.

I purchased this device April of 2009. Prior to using the device I read the manual and even emailed the company additional basic questions that were not addressed in the Manual. I then proceeded to test the device on my arm per the instructions to see if my skin was compatible with the treatment. I had no adverse reaction and proceeded with the initial treatments as recommended in the instructions. I used the device on my face and upper back area for 1 month with no problems.

Then during one Blue Treatment session on my upper back, after just 5 minutes my skin felt like it was burning. When I removed the device there were dark grid marks on my back left from the device. The burn was the exact size of the device and every light bulb had literally burned through my skin leaving a horrible-looking graph on my back.

I contacted Photo Therapeutics Inc. the next morning via telephone and emails. I left messages to which it took them 3 full days to reply. When I was contacted by an individual, he told me that there had been cases of adverse reactions before. The individual I spoke with said that the device had burned through my skin and to apply aloe vera and treat it topically as I would a sun burn. He also said that my device could be faulty and that I would need to send it to them so they could test it. I sent it back at the end of June, 2009.

One month after sending the device in I emailed and telephoned my contact at Photo Therapeutics for an update. I received no response for over a week. Finally, he informed me that there was nothing wrong with my device and that it was my skin that was the problem. He said I had an adverse reaction to the device and that the Company is still deliberating whether to issue me a credit towards another one of their products or refund me.

As of today, over 2 months has gone by since I returned my device. I have still not been contacted. I ended up without the product, out of my $248.10 and the only thing I have to show for it are burn marks on my back that have taken 6 weeks to lighten.

I am extremely disappointed with the device and with this company's customer support. My advice to all is that this product can in fact damage your skin and the arm test will not always reveal whether your skin is compatible with this treatment.

I'm 35 years old. My acne is female hormone related. After 4 weeks of treatment, I still see no difference. disappointing. I will continue to use it, though. Too expensive to give up this quickly.
