What is Celluma?
Celluma is an LED light therapy device which is able to treat a variety of skin, muscle and joint conditions. Celluma uses a light source to improve cellular health by accelerating the repair and replenishment of compromised tissue cells.
Is it safe?
The device uses red, blue and near infrared light therapy.
None of the settings include harmful UV rays, the LED used is safe on skin and muscle.
Does it hurt?
Not at all. There is no heat nor pain. The light spectrums used are safe.
How does it work?
Using advanced LED technology, the Celluma Pro combines 3 wavelengths – blue, red and infrared. These transmit in a safe, UV-free, low level light energy, which can be adjusted or tailored in order to treat a broad range of skin conditions:
Blue light
This penetrates through the epidermis and is known to kill the bacteria which actually cause acne and inflammations (P. Acnes). This helps to treat the source of acne for clearer skin.
Red light
This reaches into the dermal layer where it works to stimulate collagen and elastin production through photo-biostimulation of fibroblasts. This helps to improve the skin’s tone, quality, clarity, and texture
Near-IR light
This penetrates to the deepest layers of the skin, where it works to boost microcirculation and accelerate tissue repair and cell renewal. It also helps to decrease inflammation.
How long is each session?
The celluma treatment by itself takes only half an hour. For the best results we recommend a course of treatments over a period of time.
How often is it needed?
It depends on what it is being used for. On it’s own the recommendation is a course of 8-10 sessions. However, as we recommend combining it with acupuncture this time frame can be significantly reduced. Acupuncture stimulates both the nerves and the deeper muscle layers which invigorate blood flow and bring healing elements of the body such as oxygen, white and red blood cells to the area.
What is the evidence?
Celluma Light Therapy has been shown to effectively treat a wide variety of skin and musculoskeletal conditions. Celluma is FDA-cleared for wrinkles and acne as well as arthritic pain, muscle and joint pain, and muscle and joint stiffness. In addition, Celluma has clearances for muscle tissue tension and spasm, and is proven to decrease inflammation and increase micro-circulation.
