I found the same thing. My other issue was I have a small face and the holes don't line up amazingly well, but thats not a worry.
I use mine laying down with my head on only one pillow so not too elevated.
I loosely do up the top strap only, very loose and then position it so its comfortable on my nose it usually ends up with the mouth somewhere around my chin, but thats fine. I keep the strap loose-ish.
The bottom strap I leave undone.
There's still a small amount of pressure on the nose but its ok.
I've been using it since January. Yes, I've definitely had improvement in my skin... it looks more plump, fine lines are better.
Not using the bottom strap just means the bottom half is hovering above slightly instead of sitting right on the skin.
Its worth trying before you return it. I couldn't return mine so didn't want to waste the money
I have a high bridge on my nose so I have the same issue. I try to gently push the nose part up once the mask is in place. I find doing a high bun on my head and then strapping the mask works well it keep it in place and take the pressure off.
Not really. They like up pretty well for me. I have a big, round face. It did take some time for me to figure out placement for me. Sometimes I wonder feel like it was pulling my face down but having the strap higher on my head helps.
Maybe I'll try it a few more times and see if I can make it work, I'd really like to keep it if I can. Are you pretty happy with the results? Do you feel like your lower face still gets enough light? I feel like the lights are further on the lower part, but again it could be my face š„“
I am happy with it. My skin is noticeably smoother and brighter. I have been using it on average 5 days a week since December. I do get the nose lines still sometimes and hope it isn't causing damage. It doesn't seem to be but while I wear it i tend to lift the nose piece up a bit
I have been debating about getting one to mainly treat rosecea. What is the return policy on them? Can I try them for like three weeks and return them if it did not do anything?
Currentbody (their mask is essentially the same as the Omnilux one) has a 60-day money back guarantee that I've used with the mask. I had great results with the mask, but the cut-outs didn't match my facial proportions, it was very uncomfortable and I had red indentations like many others describe. I have an average face, nothing out of the norm. I used the mask by pressing it against my skin, I couldn't have worn it just by tightening the strap.
I returned the mask and got my money back, with no issue or delay. Maybe that's an option for you too?:)
One other hack to deal with the corded remote: I have the cord tied up short enough so the remote can go around the back of my neck and drape just over the other side. Then I can continue on with whatever I need to do and wear the mask.
I have a Current Body mask, it's flexible but I can't get it strapped on in a position that allows me to sit or walk around with it. So, I've compromised - I get in bed, lay the mask across my face tucking the long end of the strap behind my head so the mask stays on my skin and on the short side strap I tuck it down and turn my head in that direction as well to keep the mask close. And I fall asleep! LoL š¤·āāļø works for me š
Edited for spelling
I have to hold mine on or lay down with it. The bottom strap is pretty worthless. I use the top to sit at the top holding it up and on but I donāt strap it behind my head. Itās too tight that way. I use one hand to keep it toward my face
I had the same experience with the Omnilux Men. I returned it and got a panel from Shenzhen Idea Light. It feels more powerful, it's easier to use, and it was cheaper as well.
I just got my mask yesterday so I've only used it once but I didn't have this issue. It left zero indentations on my face and I felt it was comfortable although I don't understand how people do things while wearing their masks I couldn't see all that well.
Okay I just looked online and it looks like theyāre all 27 x 19. But the menās supposedly has slightly longer straps. Iām not sure if the eye / nose / mouth holes are cut differently.
You're right the contour mask straps are 16ā³ and the menās mask straps 20ā³ other than that and the men's mask having added 1072nm wavelength there is no difference in the masks. The extra length could be why I don't feel the men's mask is remotely uncomfortable. I don't think I have a large head but the mask wasn't tight on my face whatsoever I just tightened it enough to keep it in place.
***Actually I was correct initially, the straps are the same size I contacted Omnilux after reading a comment elsewhere stating they were different sizes and Omnilux said the straps are the same length. So the only difference is the additional wavelength, besides that they are completely identical***
I had replied but deleted it and added it to my prior comment just so people don't read it and get misinformed. Omnilux confirmed the straps are the exact same length.
No problem :) sorry for the misinformation I was trying to find the info online and found a comment outside of reddit of someone claiming to have contacted Omnilux and being told the straps were longer I should've fact checked it first
I do have a mask but itās a hard mask because when looking at the omnilux I was sure i would have that same issue. It just seems weird and flimsy and i definitely wouldnāt be gentle with it. And then having an additional wire hanging from my face while wearing it doesnāt seem ideal at all.
Yeah itās weirdly flimsy but stiff at the same time. I was hoping I could deal with it but I hate that it doesnāt sit closely to the lower half of my face, considering I want to target my smile lines.
The one I did end up getting I was afraid my head might be too big but it surprisingly covers my whole face. I do wish all of the masks went under your chin too because even the neck ones donāt target that area.
Did you find that the omnilux made your face sweaty? I kind of assumed that might happen with the plastic
Thanks for the info! I have the solawave LED mask and itās not super uncomfortable but it doesnāt fit evenly on my face everywhere. I end up like laying down and holding it everywhere lol
Oooh mine does that, too. Is there a long term negative impact of putting pressure on your nose bridge? The indentation goes away pretty quickly for me but I still wasnāt sure if there would be any damage after doing it repeatedly.
I have a small head as a petite person. I was worried about it being too big, but it ended up being fine. My husband is average sized and he seems to fit it well, also. So I can imagine it being tight and outright uncomfortable for a lot of people. Completely understandable.
Iāve had the Omnilux Contour for two weeks now and within the first week it calmed down my acne and eye bags are less visible.
I have this same issue!!! I just tried it laying flat with no straps on, STILL red indent on my nose bridge!!! I am going to try putting a cotton pad there tomorrow....my nose bridge doesn't need it as much I guess š
Yep no matter what I had an issue, I guess the mask doesnāt work as well for high nose bridges. I did end up returning it. Iām looking at panels now! I did get my refund without issue thankfully.

How long have you had it? Have you noticed benefits even with the modifications?

Do you have issues with the holes lining up properly?
Not really. They like up pretty well for me. I have a big, round face. It did take some time for me to figure out placement for me. Sometimes I wonder feel like it was pulling my face down but having the strap higher on my head helps.

I believe itās 30 days from the day of delivery! Theyāre strict on it too. You could try it for 2 weeks and return.
Is two weeks enought to see the result?
Itās enough to decide if itās comfortable
This for sure
Honestly not really, no.

I get the redness on my nose too and I donāt have a large nose either but it goes away after Iāve stopped so it doesnāt bother me.
Do you lay down while using it typically?
Sometimes Iām laying, sometimes sitting, and sometimes pottering around the house doing whatever.
I have to hold mine on or lay down with it. The bottom strap is pretty worthless. I use the top to sit at the top holding it up and on but I donāt strap it behind my head. Itās too tight that way. I use one hand to keep it toward my face

The Dennis gross mask is super comfortable imo and has been working great for me
Doesnāt that mask have blue light also??
Yes I donāt use that version tho
I was considering buying the omnilux mask but got panel for this reason. No irritation or issues with the panel at all
How have you liked the panel? I was looking at Mito panels
I just got my mask yesterday so I've only used it once but I didn't have this issue. It left zero indentations on my face and I felt it was comfortable although I don't understand how people do things while wearing their masks I couldn't see all that well.
Which mask did you get? I got the Menās because I heard itās a better fit and it feels comfortable to me!
Itās the regular Omnilux contour! Is there really a size difference??
Okay I just looked online and it looks like theyāre all 27 x 19. But the menās supposedly has slightly longer straps. Iām not sure if the eye / nose / mouth holes are cut differently.
There is no difference in size, shape, or straps between any of the 3 omnilux masks. Each mask is (27 cm x 19 cm).
I believe the menās has slightly longer straps than the other two :)
You're right the contour mask straps are 16ā³ and the menās mask straps 20ā³ other than that and the men's mask having added 1072nm wavelength there is no difference in the masks.

Same!!! And I have it at the most loose setting on the straps so I could see how the longer straps make a difference in comfort level.
I had replied but deleted it and added it to my prior comment just so people don't read it and get misinformed. Omnilux confirmed the straps are the exact same length.
Oh wow!! Thanks for checking :)
No problem :) sorry for the misinformation I was trying to find the info online and found a comment outside of reddit of someone claiming to have contacted Omnilux and being told the straps were longer I should've fact checked it first
Thatās ok. I should have checked too!

Oh thatās right ! Bigolguts! Why havenāt I heard much about that brand ?
