Is Omnilux HSA/FSA Eligible? Yes, Here's How!

What Is Omnilux

Omnilux makes LED face masks, the soft silicone kind you strap over your face and connect to a small rechargeable controller. The panel is flexible, with cutouts for your eyes and mouth and straps that keep it in place. You get three full-face options, Clear, Contour Face and Men, each at a regular U.S. price of about $395.

What sets them apart is the light. Omnilux Clear pairs blue and red LEDs, and it's the one Omnilux makes for mild to moderate facial acne. Contour Face and Men skip the blue and stick to red and near-infrared light; Omnilux's product guidance describes them as masks for visible signs of aging.

All three masks use red light, which Cleveland Clinic says may reduce inflammation; Clear adds blue light for acne. Our LED face mask guide walks through masks from other brands.

Why Omnilux Qualifies for HSA/FSA

An Omnilux mask qualifies once a provider ties it to your skin condition in a Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN). The letter spells out the medical reason you're buying the mask.

IRS Publication 502 defines medical expenses around the “diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease”. Your mask meets that definition when it's part of managing a skin condition your provider documents in your letter. These are some of the common ones:

• Mild to moderate facial acne. Cleveland Clinic says blue light may destroy acne-causing bacteria and red light may reduce inflammation. A 2025 JAMA Dermatology review looked at six randomized trials covering 216 people with mild to moderate acne. Home LED users saw bigger drops in acne lesions than the control groups.
• Rosacea. Cleveland Clinic lists rosacea among the conditions LED light therapy helps treat, and red light may help calm the inflammation behind its redness.
• Eczema. Cleveland Clinic also includes eczema among LED therapy's uses, and red light may help calm inflamed skin.

This isn't the full list. A provider can write your letter for a different skin condition, too, when the mask is part of managing it.

How to Get Omnilux Covered With a Letter of Medical Necessity

You have two ways to get a Letter of Medical Necessity for your Omnilux mask.

• Through Crates, typically in under 24 hours. You can fill out the short online health assessment in about 2 to 3 minutes. A licensed provider reviews it, and if you qualify, your letter is issued for your Omnilux mask. Once issued, the letter is valid for 12 months and renews every year.
• Through your own doctor, a few days to a few weeks. Book a visit with the provider you see for your skin condition, say you want to buy an Omnilux mask with HSA/FSA funds, and ask them to document how an LED face mask helps prevent, manage, or reverse it. Check that the letter is signed and dated; the visit itself may cost you a copay.

How to Buy Omnilux With HSA/FSA Funds

Letter first, mask second. Buy your Omnilux mask wherever you like, then get your HSA/FSA funds back.

1. Get your Letter of Medical Necessity first. Go through Crates or your own doctor, as above, for a letter covering your skin condition and the Omnilux mask your provider recommends.
2. Buy the mask anywhere. Use your personal card to buy the mask, whether you shop online or in a store. Keep the itemized receipt showing the model, purchase date and amount paid.
3. Get your funds back. Choose one-click reimbursement so Crates files the claim for your mask, or upload the letter and receipt yourself; if you use an HSA, keep both documents with your tax records.

Which Omnilux Models Qualify

All three Omnilux full-face masks qualify with an LMN for a skin condition. For acne, Clear is the one, with its blue-and-red light; Omnilux says the Contour line should not be used to treat acne. Contour Face and Men use red and near-infrared light, which your provider can document for a condition such as rosacea or eczema.

How Much You Can Save on Omnilux

HSA and FSA money comes with a tax break, which is why using it for your mask can save you up to 30%. At a combined tax rate near 30%, paying for a $395 Omnilux mask this way saves you $118.50 in taxes, so your real cost is $276.50. You still pay $395 at checkout. The savings come from your account's tax break, not a discount.

Here's the math at two tax rates:

A combined rate adds together the federal income, state income and payroll tax rates that apply to you. Publication 969 explains how each account's tax break works. Your actual savings depend on your tax rates and how you fund the account.
