Introduction
Welcome to Omniya Clinic’s guide to your LED Light Therapy. Below, you will find comprehensive contraindications, pre-care and post-care information for your treatment. If you have any questions, please contact our reception team who will be happy to assist you.
Medical History
You will receive a medical history form by email ahead of your appointment. If you’re not able to complete it beforehand, we kindly ask that you arrive about 10 minutes early to fill it in at the clinic.
If there have been any changes to your health, or you’ve started any new medication since your last visit, please let us know before your appointment so we can make sure your treatment is still right for you.
Contraindications
This treatment may not be suitable if you have or are:
- Epilepsy or seizures triggered by light (unless seizure-free for at least 5 years with medical consent)
- Porphyria
- Lupus Erythematosus
- Polymorphic Light Eruption
- Photosensitive eczema
- Albinism (hypomelanism)

Pre Treatment Advice
Please:
- Do not use topical retinoids (retinol/tretinoin), benzoyl peroxide, glycolic acid, or salicylic acid for at least 5 days prior to treatment.
- Discontinue use of photosensitising medications such as tetracycline, doxycycline, Roaccutane (Isotretinoin), methotrexate, amiodarone, and certain anti-psychotics at least 5 days before treatment. If unsure, please check with your doctor.
- Inform us of any new skincare introduced within the past week, especially vitamin A-based products, as these may increase sensitivity.
Note: please consult with your prescribing doctor prior to discontinuing any medication.
Post Treatment Instructions
Please note:
- Skin may appear slightly flushed immediately after treatment. This is normal and should subside shortly.
- You may apply moisturiser and makeup immediately after the treatment.
- Use SPF daily following treatment to protect skin and support results.
- Keep yourself well hydrated to assist the lymphatic system post-treatment.
Cancellations
If you need to rearrange or cancel your appointment for any reason, we operate with a 48 hour cancellation policy, therefore we kindly ask you to inform us within 2 working days if you are unable to attend your appointment.
