Her story is one of resilience, purpose, and passion. Based in Houston, Omni works as a Dermatology Physician Assistant and has built her own beauty brand rooted in compassion and science. What makes her journey powerful is that it is deeply personal. Before she ever stepped into a clinical role, she was a patient navigating the toll of a rare autoimmune disease that not only affected her lungs but also left her skin painfully sensitive and prone to breakouts.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"887\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/femimagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image0-1-887x1024.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-16306\" srcset=\"https:\/\/femimagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image0-1-887x1024.jpg 887w, https:\/\/femimagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image0-1-260x300.jpg 260w, https:\/\/femimagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image0-1-768x887.jpg 768w, https:\/\/femimagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image0-1-48x55.jpg 48w, https:\/\/femimagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image0-1-400x462.jpg 400w, https:\/\/femimagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image0-1.jpg 1299w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 887px) 100vw, 887px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her health journey was nothing short of life-changing. At the height of her battle, Omni underwent a double lung transplant, a moment that redefined her outlook on life, wellness, and beauty. It was during this time that she realized skin health could not be separated from overall health. The sensitivity caused by her condition and the medications that kept her alive forced her to get creative with skincare. Harsh prescriptions were no longer an option. Instead, she studied ingredients, experimented with gentler solutions, and developed formulas that worked for her medically-affected skin. Out of this struggle came innovation, and with it, a mission to serve others who share similar challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Read the Full Story now in our <a href=\"https:\/\/femimagazine.com\/?page_id=1927\">Beauty &amp; Fashion issue! <\/a><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meet Omni McCluney, a double lung transplant recipient who is using dermatology to help others every day.
