Australia has one of the most sophisticated skincare markets in the world. Driven by a harsh climate and high awareness of sun damage, Australian consumers have embraced LED Light Therapy (Photobiomodulation) not just as a beauty trend, but as an essential tool for skin repair and rejuvenation.
The market Down Under is defined by a unique mix: homegrown “Aussie” brands that understand the local climate, global heavyweights fighting for dominance in stores like Mecca and Sephora, and a surprisingly robust budget sector led by retailers like Kmart and Shaver Shop.

6. Aussie Market Insights & Buying Tips
1. The “TGA” Factor
In Australia, the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) regulates medical devices.
-
Tip: If you want guaranteed results for medical conditions (like severe acne or wound healing), look for a device that is ARTG Listed (Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods). Brands like Omnilux, San Lueur, and CurrentBody often highlight this listing to justify their premium price.
2. The “Kmart” Effect
The Anko LED Mask ($49) changed the market. While it lacks the power and precise wavelengths (633nm/830nm) of the $600 masks, it democratized the technology. It is a “gateway drug” for many Aussies who later upgrade to a silicone mask like Omnilux.
3. Sun Damage focus
Unlike in Europe where “winter blues” is a selling point, in Australia, the marketing focuses heavily on Sun Damage Repair and Pigmentation. Brands that emphasize repairing UV damage perform exceptionally well here.
4. CurrentBody vs. Omnilux
These two are the arch-rivals in Australia. Omnilux has the heritage (often recommended by local dermatologists), but CurrentBody has won over the influencer market and offers aggressive bundle deals on their Australian website. Both are excellent choices for the Australian climate.
