Omnilux Contour Face Alternative: RIVATA AURA vs Omnilux
Omnilux began with its Omnilux Medical clinic devices, and it describes the Contour Face, its home mask, as dermatologist-recommended. If you're looking for an Omnilux alternative, here's the honest comparison with RIVATA's AURA masks, including where Omnilux genuinely wins.

Light: what each mask actually delivers
The Omnilux Contour Face uses two wavelengths, 633nm red and 830nm near-infrared, on 132 LEDs. That's a classic clinical pairing for lines and firmness, with no blue light for breakouts; Omnilux sells a separate blue mask (Clear) for that. The AURA Lite covers blue 460, amber 605, red 630 and 850nm near-infrared on 272 LEDs, so one mask handles breakouts and fine lines, plus an amber Glow mode. The AURA 4D runs seven wavelengths on 400 LEDs, with 850, 940 and 1064nm near-infrared together in every mode. How LED count, spacing and output fit together is in how many LEDs a face mask needs.
Controller vs one button on the mask
The AURA Lite is flexible silicone and the AURA 4D a contoured silicone shell. The bigger difference is how you run them: the Omnilux uses a separate rechargeable battery controller, while the AURA Lite has a magnetic battery on the mask and a single button, and the AURA 4D is cordless with one button too. Since 3 to 5 sessions a week is the rhythm that gets results, pick the setup you'll find easiest to keep up. See how often to use an LED mask.
Where Omnilux genuinely wins
Fair is fair. Omnilux's home masks are based on its Omnilux Medical clinic technology, it points to more than 40 peer-reviewed studies, and it runs a partner program for clinics and skincare providers. If brand pedigree and the clinical record are what you're buying, Omnilux is the more established choice.
Price and protection
As of October 2026 the Omnilux Contour Face is $395; AURA prices are in the table above. The AURA Lite ships now, and the AURA 4D is sold out for the moment with a waitlist open. Omnilux gives you 30 days to return an LED device and a 2-year warranty. RIVATA gives you 90 days to try either mask on your own skin, a 2-year warranty and free US shipping. All three are FDA cleared.
Which should you buy?
- Omnilux Contour Face if you want a brand built on clinic devices, with 40+ peer-reviewed studies behind its technology, and you don't need blue light.
- The AURA Lite if you want breakouts and fine lines covered, plus an amber Glow mode, in one cordless 200g mask at the lowest price of the three.
- The AURA 4D if you want the most LEDs and wavelengths: 400 LEDs, seven wavelengths and Triple NIR in every mode. Join the waitlist to hear first when it's back.
