What is light therapy?
Light therapy is known for its healing and anti-inflammatory properties and has a variety of applications across many medical fields. Research has shown that low level light therapy can: increase circulation, accelerate tissue repair, kill acne bacteria, decrease inflammation, improve skin tone and wrinkles, texture and clarity, ease muscle and joint pain, stiffness, spasm and arthritis.
How light therapy works
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.
Why Celluma?
Celluma is unique and quite unlike any other low-level light therapy device available today. It is FDA-cleared and based on NASA research, Celluma delivers blue, red and near-infrared light energy simultaneously to safely treat a wide variety of conditions (pictured below). These specific wavelengths are well researched and scientifically proven to produce therapeutic benefits. For example, blue penetrates through the epidermis and is known to kill P.acnes bacteria. Red penetrates into the dermal layer and has been shown to enhance collagen and elastin production through photo-biostimulation of fibroblasts. Near-infrared penetrates deepest and increases micro-circulation (tissue repair), decreases inflammation and attenuates pain.
