What is Celluma? 

Celluma is unique and quite unlike any other low-level light therapy device available today. Based on NASA research, Celluma delivers blue, red and near-infrared light energy simultaneously to safely treat a wide variety of conditions. Each wavelength is absorbed by different molecules that act as a signaling mechanism for different cellular processes.  For example, some reduce inflammation and some kill bacteria, while others enhance localized circulation.     

 

What is light therapy? 

Light Emitting Diode (LED) phototherapy is the application of light energy to tissue to obtain therapeutic  benefits. The energy is used to improve cellular performance. Phototherapy is known for its healing and anti-inflammatory properties and has a variety of applications across many medical fields. Research has shown that phototherapy can: increase circulation, accelerate tissue repair, decrease wrinkles, decrease inflammation, improve skin tone and wrinkles, texture and clarity, ease muscle and joint pain, stiffness, spasm and arthritis and kill acne bacteria, and much more.

How long does a full Celluma session last?

A full session should be 30 minutes.

 

Are there any special preparations required before using Celluma?

Yes, clean, freshly washed skin is recommended for best results as many makeup formulas contain minerals that may deflect light. 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.

 

For what purpose is 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 close should Celluma be placed to the treatment area?

Position Celluma as close to your skin as possible, the closer the better. One key advantage to Celluma is its patented flexible design, which allows for close positioning to the skin, and may lead to more effective results.

 

How does light energy work?

Specific wavelengths of light energy, when properly absorbed, up-regulates compromised cells. The light (photons) energy is absorbed by photoacceptors in the mitochondria and used to create adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The ATP produced then stimulates various metabolic processes which can result in the repair and regeneration of cell and tissue components. In an article, Therapeutic Light -  by Chukuku S. Enwemeka, PT, PhD, FACSM, he wrote other reported mechanisms of light-induced beneficial effects include modulation of prostaglandin levels, alteration of somatosensory evoked potential and nerve conduction velocity, and hyperemia of treated tissues. The resultant clinical benefits include pain relief in conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, bursitis, tendonitis, ankle sprain, and temporomandibular joint dysfunction, shoulder and neck pain, arthritis, and post-herpetic neuralgia, as well as tissue repair in cases of diabetic ulcer, venous ulcer, mouth ulcer, fractures, tendon rupture, ligamentous, tear, torn cartilage, and nerve injury.
