LED LIGHT THERAPY
Transform Your Cellular Health with Celluma.
What is LED light therapy?
So what is light emitting diode (LED) therapy? Light therapy, also known as phototherapy or low-level light therapy, is the application of specific wavelengths of light energy to tissue to obtain therapeutic benefits for a variety of conditions including skin conditions and hair restoration.
The absorbed energy is then used to improve cellular performance. Light therapy can be delivered through light emitting diode (LEDs) devices or cold LASERs, and has a variety of applications across many medical fields. This clinically validated technique is gaining greater and greater acceptance in main stream medicine by dermatologists and cosmetic surgeons as a non-invasive therapeutic modality.
Phototherapy, or LED red light therapy, has been widely researched and is supported by thousands of peer-reviewed and published clinical research papers from prestigious institutions around the world. Other terms by which light therapy is referred to are photobiostimulation, photobiomodulation, photomedicine, LED light therapy, low-level light therapy (LLLT), red light therapy, cold and soft LASER therapy. All terms are correct, have the same meaning and are used to describe the delivery of light energy to treat a variety of medical and cosmetic conditions.
LED light therapy treatments are non-invasive, painless, require no recovery time, and can be used safely on all skin types.
The only LED light therapy device designed to manage a variety of conditions
In the same way that plants use chlorophyll to convert sunlight into energy, high intensity light emitting diodes (LEDs) utilizing specific, wavelengths of light that have been proven to trigger a natural biostimulatory effect in human tissue. Research has shown that light emitting diode (LED) or phototherapy can increase circulation, kill acne bacteria, decrease inflammation, and decrease under eye wrinkles.
Research indicates that cells absorb particles of light (photons) and transform their energy into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the form of energy that cells utilize. The resulting elevation of ATP is then used to power metabolic processes; synthesize DNA, RNA, proteins, enzymes, and other products needed to repair or regenerate cell components; foster mitosis or cell proliferation; and restore homeostasis. Simply put, the LED phototherapy source provides compromised cells with added energy so the cells performance is enhanced. For example, fibroblast cells will increase collagen and elastin production in connective tissue to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in our skin.
..Reported mechanisms of light-induced effects include modulation of prostaglandin levels, alteration of somatosensory evoked potential and nerve conduction velocity, and hypermia of treated tissue. 1"

About the Celluma SERIES
Celluma LED light therapy devices use specific wavelengths of light energy to improve cellular health by accelerating the replenishment of compromised tissue cells for enhanced results. While similar devices on the market claim to do the same, they often require multiple machines and accessories to treat specific conditions or accommodate different parts of the body. The Celluma SERIES offers convenient solutions for the treatment of skin and scalp concerns in a variety of versatile, affordable all-in-one systems.
Celluma Versatility
Patented, pulsed-wave technology controlled by proprietary software algorithms add to the applicability of Celluma light emitting diode therapy. Wavelengths are absorbed by different molecules that act as a signaling mechanism for different cellular processes. For example, some some kill acne-causing bacteria, while others enhance localized circulation or help build collagen and help regrow hair.
Shining a Light on the Celluma Difference
When it comes to phototherapy (light emitting diode therapy), there is a broad range of optical parameters required to induce cellular responses for desired therapeutic outcomes. These specific and well-proven requirements for effective light therapy begin with choosing the correct wavelengths; blue, red and near-infrared. These are the wavelengths most widely supported by credible scientific research for the effective application of low-level light therapy. Optimal energy delivery and treatment parameters are also crucial components. The importance of device placement and proximity to tissue is one aspect of LED light therapy which is often misunderstood and rarely explained effectively. The key to efficacy is getting the light emissions as close to the skin as possible to ensure optimal energy absorption. Based on Celluma’s patented shape-taking design, no other LED device is capable of positioning better or more easily than Celluma devices. A rule of thumb is to place the device as close as possible to the skin but within your comfort level or that of the patient. Remember, the closer the device is placed to the skin the more energy is available for utilization by under-functioning cells and the faster and better the improvement to skin and hair conditions.
Based on the Inverse Square Law of optical physics, we understand that the proximity to the treatment area (skin) is key to effectiveness. This law applies to all phototherapy light devices and all brands. In order to make up for the distance factor, early LED machines were built on what is considered today to be outdated platforms, and had to resort to different strategies, including increasing the number LEDs or increasing power output. However, these tactics don’t make up for distance they are positioned from the skin, they do however add dramatically to the cost of these bulky devices. Whether treating skin, or hair conditions, the key to light therapy efficacy is not how much energy is output by a device, or how many LEDs there are, but how much energy is available for absorption by the tissue (skin). So, if using phototherapy to improve skin and hair concerns, select a shape-taking LED device such as Celluma whose patented design leverages the Inverse Square Law thereby maximizing your potential for successful treatments.
The Inverse Square Law states that certain forces on an object varies by the inverse square of the distance between the object and the source of the force. Light energy obeys this law. For example, an object placed three inches away from a light source will receive only one ninth as much energy as an object placed one inch from the light. Simply put and following the principles of the Inverse Square Law, we understand that the closer the light energy is emitted to the skin the more energy is absorbed and the faster and better you will see results. What exactly does this mean for you and how do you use this information to optimize outcomes?
Today’s advances in LED technology allows Celluma to produce devices that leverage the Inverse Square Law. Celluma devices are flexible and shape-taking in design, allowing them to be contoured closely to the treatment area whether that be facial skin, or contoured over the head. In application, this means faster, better and longer lasting results for you, your clients and your patients. Essentially, placing Celluma, or any light therapy device farther away from the skin will not make it ineffective, just less effective. Therefore, it makes sense to use a shape-taking LED device which can be optimally positioned so maximum energy is absorbed in the targeted region for better and faster results.
Celluma phototherapy is hands-and stand free and does not require monitoring during the treatment session. This is a welcome advancement for Practitioners and home users alike, who can enjoy more effective skin and scalp treatments with improved ease-of-use.
The difference is uniquely clear. Celluma is:
- Safe, clinically proven, FDA cleared and CE marked as a medical device for skin and hair conditions
- Non-toxic, non-invasive, compared to many skin topicals
- Affordable alternative to drugs and harsh topical solutions
- Conforms closely to the treatment area for optimal effectiveness unlike other LED devices
- Patented shape-taking design. While some LED machines claim to be flexible, unlike Celluma, none can hold their shape in position without stands or cradles to hold them in place
- Portable and lightweight — ideal for travel and easy storage
- Takes the principles of the Inverse Square Law into account
- Embedded NASA researched technology
- Safe treatments for the entire family, including pets*
