What is LED low-level-light therapy?

Low-level-light therapy or photobiomodulation is based on Light Emitting Diode (LED) technology and is the application of light energy to the body for therapeutic benefits. It promotes a natural photobiochemical reaction similar to the process of plant photosynthesis. The energy delivered by the LEDs has been shown to enhance cellular metabolism, accelerate the repair and replenishment of damaged skin cells, as well as stimulate the production of collagen — the foundation of healthy, smooth skin. Research has shown that LED light therapy may help smooth skin texture, improve skin firmness and resilience, increase lymphatic system activity, restore skin’s natural cellular activity, and reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and superficial hyperpigmentation. The treatment is for all skin types, and is non-ablative, non-invasive, painless, and requires absolutely no downtime. Patients or clients can return to their normal activity immediately after the treatment.

For what purpose is LED light therapy used?

Based on extensive research, low-level-light therapy devices have been cleared by the FDA, and shown to manage:

  • Mild to moderate acne vulgaris

  • Superficial, benign vascular and pigment lesions

  • Periorbital wrinkles and rhytides

  • Sub-optimal local blood flow and circulation

  • Minor muscle and joint aches

  • Minor muscle and joint pain

  • Pain and stiffness associated with arthritis

  • Minor arthritis or muscle spasms

  • Minor chronic neck and shoulder pain of a musculoskeletal origin

How to use Celluma LED Light Therapy for Best Results

When it comes to using light therapy, whether it’s blue light therapy for acne, red light therapy for wrinkles and anti-aging issues, or near-infrared light therapy for pain, it’s best to develop an appropriate and doable routine. It’s a bit like going to the gym, if you join but don’t go, then you will not experience any of the many benefits.

Just like working out and exercising, the benefits of LED light therapy are cumulative. As you will see amazing results when used in a sign treatment or added onto your facial we recommend doing a course of treatments such as our 10 sessions packs or our new LED 3 month membership. 1 x LED light therapy treatment for $50/week.

How safe is light therapy?

Low-level-light therapy is based on light emitting diode (LED) technology developed for NASA-manned space flight experiments. In comparison to lasers, the patented LED technology generates negligible amounts of heat and is not considered a significant risk device.

How long does a Celluma session last?

Thirty (30) minutes.

Are there any special preparations required before using Celluma?

Celluma should be in close proximity to the area being treated. Skin should also be free of clothing, makeup, or anything else that may deflect light away from the skin.

Why do I need to remove my makeup?

Many makeup formulas contain minerals that may deflect light. Clean, freshly washed skin is recommended for best results.
