Building a Skincare Routine From the Inside and Out with Nutrafol and Omnilux
Topical skincare and LED therapy can go a (very) long way toward nurturing healthy skin. But skin health doesn’t hinge solely on external treatments—it mirrors aspects of your clients’ underlying wellness, from nutrition to hormones to gut health, bringing signs of deeper issues to the surface.
That’s why we’re thrilled to have teamed up with Nutrafol, today’s leading hair health supplement brand, to host an exclusive, collaborative webinar on supporting skin health from the inside and out, led by renowned dermatologist Dr. Glynis Ablon, MD, FAAD. In this session, we dove into how Omnilux’s LED light therapy and Nutrafol’s Clear Skin supplement can serve as an unstoppable duo to help your clients build consistent, effective skincare routines.

External and Internal Skin Support
As the body’s largest organ, the skin is a direct reflection of overall health. It can reveal hints into dietary deficiencies, sensitivities, hormonal imbalances, and elevated stress levels. Through the gut-skin connection, skin health is also directly impacted by the gut microbiome.
External Skin Support
A less-is-more approach to skincare, including dermatologist-formulated topicals and light therapy, supports the skin barrier while addressing specific concerns, including acne and skin aging.
-
Targeted treatments: Omnilux LED light therapy helps clients work toward their goals, whether they’re looking to diminish signs of aging, fade scarring, or manage acne breakouts. With LED light therapy masks, clients can maintain their results from in-office sessions, at home.
-
Contour Face’s red and near-infrared light therapy can benefit skin health by:
-
Reducing inflammation
-
Stimulating natural collagen and elastin production
-
Accelerating skin healing and repair processes
-
Clear’s blue and red light therapy can help manage breakouts by eradicating acne-causing bacteria and calming the inflammation and redness associated with acne.
-
Topicals: Dr. Ablon’s “less-is-more” approach to skincare looks past the trend of a 10-step regimen, suggesting a simpler routine in its place. A gentle cleanser, hydrating serum, nourishing moisturizer, and sun protection help keep skin calm while setting the stage for targeted treatments.
Internal Skin Support
Healthy lifestyle habits and supplements, like Nutrafol Clear Skin, can support a balanced routine to promote skin wellness. Nutrafol Skin is a physician-formulated supplement with standardized ingredients, including Nutrafol Blend and Nutrafol’s patent-pending Synergen Skin Complex, to target the six key root causes of skin concerns: Stress, hormones, microbiome, immune function, metabolism, and lifestyle.
Key ingredients in Nutrafol Clear Skin include:
-
Pre, post, and probiotics
-
Berberine
-
Curcumin
-
Zinc
-
Niacin
-
Folate

Q&A: Your Omnilux Questions, Answered!
As a globally recognized dermatologist and member of our Scientific Advisory Board, Dr. Glynis Ablon, MD, FAAD is an invaluable resource for building efficacious skincare routines. In our previous webinar, attendees sent many great questions about Omnilux LED light therapy our way, and we teamed up with Dr. Ablon to answer them. Here are Your Omnilux Questions, Answered!
Q: Is Clear used differently than Contour (Clear only for active acne)?
Omnilux: Yes, Clear and Contour are used to treat different concerns. Clear emits blue and red light to treat active, mild to moderate acne vulgaris. Meanwhile, Contour devices emit red and near-infrared light to target anti-aging concerns and overall skin rejuvenation.
Q: Are there any contraindications or red flags I should watch for when recommending Clear? Should patients continue to use Clear during breakout periods, or is it better to pause?
Dr. Ablon: I love using the Clear device during active breakouts. I tell my patients to use it every 48 hours. For someone with open wounds on the skin, or “pickers,” I like to be more cautious. Not that it will hurt, but sometimes they can have a reaction. Once the patient is seeing progress and has just a few breakouts, I’ll recommend using it once a week for maintenance.
Q: How frequently do we use the device?
Omnilux: We recommend using Contour Face three to five times a week for four to six weeks, then as desired for maintenance, and Clear four times a week for six weeks, then as desired for maintenance. Results may vary and can be subtle, so consistency is key!
Q: Do you ever recommend Omnilux Contour use to help heal from procedures like microneedling, peels, or bruising from fillers?
Dr. Ablon: That’s a really good question. Yes! Because it’s anti-inflammatory, you absolutely can use it post-procedure. Oftentimes after a procedure, I may put my patient under my Omnilux device in the office to improve and speed up healing.
Q: I keep seeing different views on using red light therapy every day after the maintenance stage. Please explain why you shouldn't use every day, or if it's okay to use daily without rest.
Omnilux: Just like our muscles need a rest day after a hard workout, your skin cells need to rest between treatments and have a chance to use all the energy they receive from treatments! You will see best results from doing LED treatments three to five times a week.
Q: If someone wants to focus on collagen production and acne issues, which device would be best?
Omnilux: If both collagen production and acne are a concern, we recommend completing a full course of treatments using the Clear mask first. Once acne has reduced, you can use Contour Face to help maintain the skin barrier and boost collagen production.
Q: Are there tips you can share that help make using the mask feel like a "routine/ritual" instead of a chore?
Omnilux: Use your treatment time as a chance to relax after a long day or get yourself ready for the day ahead! Check out our Spotify playlist for some tunes to listen to while you’re doing a treatment.
Q: Can you elaborate on how you talk with your patients/understand your patients?
Dr. Ablon: My first question to a patient when they tell me their skin concern is “How are you taking care of yourself from the inside out?”. Skin conditions can be very complex with diet, hormones, and environmental factors playing a large role so I like to understand what the patient might be missing. I like to understand what the patient is doing both internally and externally—what’s their nutrition like? What are they putting on their skin? And depending on their answers, we can work toward re-balancing their internal and external health.
Q: When can patients begin to see results from LED light therapy?
Dr. Ablon: Patients can begin to notice visible results in as little as four weeks using LED light therapy as recommended.
Q: Can you share your recommendation for the best foods that support collagen production?
Dr. Ablon: A healthy, well-balanced diet makes a huge difference for the gut-skin-brain connection. Unfortunately, our “Standard American Diet” (or SAD diet) lacks many of the nutrients, vitamins and minerals our body needs to be healthy. I recommend incorporating foods rich in protein, which can support collagen production, into a balanced diet.
Q: Can you use the clear mask too much?
Omnilux: Yes, the Clear device should only be used on active acne once the initial treatment series is complete.
