What is LED therapy?

In short, LED is the application of specific wavelengths of light energy to skin tissue to obtain therapeutic benefits for a variety of conditions. In the same way that plants use chlorophyll to convert sunlight into energy, LEDs (light emitting diodes) utilize specific proven wavelengths of light that trigger a natural bio stimulatory effect in human skin tissue. Research has shown that light emitting diodes can increase circulation, kill acne, bacteria, decrease inflammation, and decrease under eye wrinkles, and just like working out and exercising the benefits of LED therapy are cumulative.

How does LED improve acne?

The blue wavelengths kill the acne bacteria while reducing the inflammation and redness associated with acne even after one use. It is incredible!

LED Therapy for Aging skin:

When it comes to aging, a significant factor that leads to wrinkles and fine lines is due to collagen breaking down as we age. Collagen is the main protein found in your skin and other connective tissue. And healthy collagen levels are what give us glowing complexion, firmer skin, strong nails and healthy hair. Fibroblasts make collagen fibers and the more and healthier fibroblasts we have in our skin, the more and better collagen fibers are made. Now, LED therapy increases fibroblast production.

What does it feel like to use Celluma LED therapy?

Very relaxing! A single treatment lasts approximately 30 minutes and results are cumulative.

Celluma LED devices are very reputable in the esthetic industry, have won countless awards. Clluma LEDs are FDA cleared for aging, acne and pain and  they can also be used on your pets. I find that super cool.
