LED light therapy has become increasingly popular because of its wide range of applications. This innovative treatment uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate your body’s natural healing processes, helping to rejuvenate your skin, minimize signs of aging, manage acne, and even ease pain.

What Is Celluma?

Celluma is an FDA-cleared, low-level light therapy device that uses light-emitting diode (LED) technology to deliver safe, therapeutic wavelengths of light into your skin and tissues. Depending on your treatment goals, Celluma can help:

  • Reduce acne and breakouts
  • Smooth wrinkles
  • Lessen signs of aging
  • Ease muscle and joint pain
  • Accelerate post-surgical healing
  • Reduce inflammation

Unlike other types of LED light therapy where you choose one color of light at a time, Celluma works by simultaneously delivering blue, red, and near-infrared light into your skin. Each type of light penetrates to different depths to stimulate different cellular functions.

  • Blue light targets acne-causing bacteria on the surface of your skin.
  • Red light goes deeper, boosting collagen and reducing inflammation.
  • Near-infrared light penetrates even further to promote tissue repair and provide pain relief.

The Celluma device is designed to be flexible and contour to your face or body, making each treatment comfortable while targeting the exact area you wish to be treated.

What Are the Benefits of Celluma?

Celluma is the definition of a multi-purpose treatment, which means you can enjoy a myriad of benefits based on your individual needs. Some of Celluma’s benefits include:

For Skin Health

  • Clearer skin, as Celluma helps kill acne-causing bacteria, reducing breakouts, preventing new ones from forming, and decreasing inflammation.
  • Brighter, younger-looking skin, as Celluma’s red light stimulates your body’s collagen and elastin production, which reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
  • More even skin tone and texture, as repeated use of Celluma can help reduce redness, inflammation, and pigmentation issues, giving you smoother, healthier skin.

For Pain Management

  • Relief from muscle and joint pain, as the near-infrared light in Celluma penetrates deep into your tissues, increasing circulation, reducing inflammation, and accelerating healing.
  • Healing after surgery is accelerated, as Celluma promotes tissue repair and helps reduce swelling.
  • Celluma is also FDA-cleared for the temporary relief of muscle and joint stiffness and pain associated with arthritis.

Celluma is completely painless, non-invasive, and requires zero downtime for recovery. It is safe for all skin types and can be used anywhere on your face and body. 

Am I a Good Candidate for Celluma?

One of the best things about Celluma is that almost anyone can benefit from it in some way. It’s an excellent option for those who want natural results without surgery, chemicals, or needles. Ideal candidates for Celluma are people who:

  • Want to address mild to moderate acne
  • Want to reduce fine lines and wrinkles
  • Want to address dull skin, redness, or inflammation
  • Want to boost healing after a cosmetic procedure
  • Want medication-free pain relief
  • Want a skincare treatment option safe for sensitive skin

Celluma is not recommended if you’re pregnant, have a history of seizures (due to light sensitivity), or are taking photosensitizing medications. The best way to determine if you’re a good candidate for Celluma is to come into Capital Center® for a consultation with one of our expert providers.

How Is Celluma Performed?

A Celluma treatment is straightforward, painless, and relaxing. When you come in for your Celluma session at Capital Center®, we’ll start by gently cleansing your skin. Next, the flexible Celluma panel will be positioned over the treatment area and turned on. It will begin emitting light in specific wavelengths for about 30 minutes, though the session length will depend on your treatment goals. All you have to do is lie back, relax, and let the light do its job. The Celluma device does not give off heat or noise, allowing you to rest peacefully as your skin is rejuvenated from within.

The number of Celluma sessions required for best results is tailored to your unique needs, treatment goals, and desired results. Most people do a series of sessions, spaced out at specific intervals, for best results.

What Is Recovery Like After Celluma?

One of the advantages of Celluma treatments is that no downtime or recovery is necessary. It’s an effective treatment that you can fit into your busy schedule without anyone having any idea you’ve undergone a cosmetic treatment. There is no post-treatment redness or skin reactivity, and you can immediately return to your daily activities.

You may continue your regular skincare routine right after your session, including applying sunscreen to protect your skin from sun damage and preserve your Celluma results.

What Can I Expect From My Celluma Results?

Your Celluma results will depend on the issue you’re treating and how consistent you are with your sessions. For acne, results are typically seen after one to two sessions, with a noticeable reduction in breakouts within two to four weeks. Anti-aging results are more gradual and develop over time, so you’ll typically see improved skin texture and firmness around the four to six-week mark. Pain management results are instant and may continue to improve with regular sessions.
