About Skin Rejuvenation

Our skin is the largest organ in the body, covering up to two square metres. Its main function is to protect us from harmful elements in the external environment, such as UVA or UVB rays. The health and beauty of our skin reflects our internal wellbeing.

As we grow older, the amount of collagen, the major supporting protein of the skin diminishes, and our skin becomes less flexible. In addition, our skin becomes drier and thinner, and as the body's natural regeneration process slows down, the skin slowly loses its ability to retain moisture and loses that 'teenage' glow. The harmful rays in sunlight further damage the skin's supportive structure and prevent the creation of new collagen. This leads to the development of fine lines and wrinkles, especially in the area around the eye (periorbital wrinkles – crows' feet).

We are all influenced by the power of light. Just think about how good you feel on a warm, sunny day compared to those cold winter evenings. The benefits of light therapy are widely recognized in modern medicine. The treatment of skin cancers, jaundiced babies and disorders such as Seasonal Affective Disorder are but a few examples. Omnilux new-U has been developed from the highly successful professional model, Omnilux, to harness the power of light and deliver it as a safe and effective treatment.
