How can we safely and effectively reduce and even reverse the effects of ageing?

Collagen

When it comes to ageing, a significant factor that leads to wrinkles, fine lines, and joint pain is due to inadequate collagen levels. Collagen is the main structural protein found in your skin and other connective tissue. Collagen literally holds our bodies together. An easy way to remember what collagen does is to look at the Greek prefix ‘kolla’ which means glue.

Increased fibroblast proliferation is just one benefit of LED red light therapy. Fibroblasts make collagen fibres, so it stands to reason that the more, and healthier, fibroblasts we have in the skin, the more and better collagen fibres are made. And as we all know, collagen synthesis and maintenance is the bedrock of anti-ageing.

Healthy collagen levels are what give us a glowing complexion, firm skin, strong nails, dense bones, and healthy hair. It is also essential in keeping muscles, joints, and tendons in healthy working order. Simply put, the more our bodies produce collagen, the better we’ll look and feel as we get older.

Signs of Ageing

Fibroblast cells are responsible for producing collagen and elastin, the two most common proteins in connective tissue. However, as we age, our fibroblasts become compromised resulting in lower levels of these proteins. We might start noticing decreased elasticity in our skin, wrinkles, and our joints may not move as freely as they used to. This is because lower levels of collagen lead to breakdowns in cartilage which can cause inflammation, soreness, stiffness, arthritis, and prolonged recovery time after physical activity. Other common signs of ageing can include:

• Skin deterioration

• Melasma

• Arthritis

• Inflammation

• Chronic joint and muscle pain

• Keratosis

If you’re experiencing one or more of these signs, then it could be an indicator your collagen levels are deficient.

Anti-Ageing Treatment with LED Light Therapy

Now that we've established a base understanding of why collagen is essential as we age, let's look at the most groundbreaking and natural way to effectively generate more collagen in your body using the anti-ageing effect of LED light therapy.

Proven red and near-infrared wavelengths are utilised in the Celluma SERIES of LED light therapy devices to combat the signs of ageing. These specific wavelengths of light energy are clinically verified to enhance your body's natural ability to generate collagen and elastin by activating the fibroblast cells.

No prescriptions. No medications. No injections. No surgery. Just safe, natural wavelengths of effective, proven light energy.

Celluma LED Works to Boost Collagen Production

Let’s quickly run through two biology basics: the Krebs Cycle and Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP).

1. The Krebs cycle is what generates cellular energy inside your body. Light activation boosts the body’s natural Krebs Cycle which in turn assists in creating more ATP. 
2. ATP is the energy currency of all the cells in your body. When your body has sufficient ATP levels, then it has more energy to spend on restorative processes such as collagen elastin production – these are the proteins your body uses to heal itself.

In summary: Light Therapy = Enhanced Krebs (energy) Cycle = Greater ATP Availability = More Collagen

When all of those important metabolic events are happening, it then results in greater outcomes beyond just collagen production. We see a cascade of benefits such as:

• Cell generation to replace old cells (mitosis)

• Reduction and prevention of cell death (apoptosis)

• Neurogenesis (new neurons)

• Development of new capillaries (angiogenesis)

• Increased blood flow

• Enhanced Nitric Oxide production

The synergistic effect is that your body is optimized to heal itself. Patients who use Celluma LED light therapy devices begin seeing:

• Skin rejuvenation and the reduction of wrinkles and fine lines

• Accelerated healing of chronic wounds. *

• General pain reduction including muscle, joint and arthritic pains.

All of these great benefits can be achieved at home and at your leisure. Most people can even use Celluma devices while taking a nap or watching television.

What Does It Feel Like to Use Celluma?

Using Celluma light therapy devices is very relaxing. A single session lasts approximately 30 minutes. Most patients experience immediate results and leave their skin feeling like it is glowing. Stiff, sore and painful joints may experience improvements with one to three sessions. Keep in mind that results vary from patients to patient depending on the severity of the condition and adherence to protocols.

Celluma’s anti-ageing LED therapy is designed to truly change the way people rejuvenate and recover. We no longer need to rely solely on costly medications, risky injections, or invasive surgery now that we have the technology to give our bodies the boost to heal naturally.
