There is actually very little research on using LED therapy for hyperpigmentation but the available research points to red and near-infrared being beneficial. Here’s how it apparently works according to one study*: Near-infrared… “significantly reduced melanin production and tyrosinase expression, not only in a normal human melanocyte monoculture both with and without forskolin stimulation but also in a three-dimensional multiple cell type culture. It reduced melanin content via inactivation of the apoptosis signal-regulating kinase and extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 pathways. The level of phosphorylated cyclic AMP response element-binding protein was also decreased by LED irradiation. Moreover, LED irradiation reduced melanogenesis through decreased expression of tyrosinase family genes (tyrosinase-related protein-1 and 2, and microphthalmia-associated transcription factor). These results indicate that LEDs could potentially be used to treat melanin-overproducing skin conditions.”* Light-emitting Diodes at 830 and 850 nm Inhibit Melanin Synthesis In vitro Jeong Mo Kim, Nan-Hyung Kim, Yu Shun Tian and Ai-Young Lee Dongguk University Research Institute of Biotechnology Medical Science Research Center, and Department of Dermatology, Dongguk University Ilsan Hospital, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea.

The ELITE S2 features 5 separate FDA-cleared treatment modes addressing ageing skin, body contouring, hair growth, acne, and pain. Unlike other devices, the ELITE S2 is stand mounted and features a rolling base.

The Hair mode found on the RESTORE, NOVA, ELITE, and CONTOUR PLUS are the only Celluma devices that are specifically designed for Hair Restoration and this is the only program that can claim FDA-clearance for this indication. Our before and after images are based on results using the Celluma RESTORE and the Celluma RESTORE protocol. The Wrinkle/Red Light program on other Celluma devices is NOT the same - even with the pulsing off. It is a different algorithm, emitting a different level of energy. Additionally, the Celluma RESTORE and the NOVA are smaller devices than the Celluma PRO and fits perfectly over the head.

Everybody is different, so results and treatment duration vary from person to person. The official protocol is 3x per week for 4 weeks. Most users report results after just one treatment, and you may need to continue to use the Contour mode regularly to maintain results.

Neither Celluma, nor any other LED device, is FDA-cleared for the treatment of eczema, so there are no protocols in place, and we make no claims for treating this condition (protocols-for-use are derived from clinical trials). Not a lot of research has been conducted using LEDs to treat eczema, so the information available is mostly anecdotal. The wavelengths used in Celluma are strictly therapeutic and red and infrared are great at decreasing inflammation. They also increase micro-circulation and cause vasodilation which can result in healthier tissue as it brings more oxygenated and nutrient-rich blood into the area.

Celluma is not FDA-cleared for the treatment of psoriasis, there are no protocols in place (protocols-for-use are derived from clinical trials). The truth is that not much study has been conducted using LEDs to treat psoriasis so all the information available is mostly anecdotal. The wavelengths used in Celluma are strictly therapeutic and red and infrared are great at decreasing inflammation. They are also going to increase micro-circulation and vasodilation which usually results in healthier tissue as it brings more oxygenated and nutrient-rich blood into the area.

As Celluma, or any other LED device, is not FDA-cleared for the treatment of rosacea, there are no protocols in place (protocols-for-use are derived from clinical trials). The truth is that not much study has been conducted using LEDs to treat rosacea so all the information available is mostly anecdotal. The wavelengths used in Celluma are strictly therapeutic and red and infrared are great at decreasing inflammation. They are also going to increase micro-circulation and vasodilation which usually results in healthier tissue as it brings more oxygenated and nutrient-rich blood into the area. The blue in the Acne and red-light (Wrinkle) programs will be antibacterial and help reduce any lesions and pimples. Many LED device users are confused about using infrared as they think that the infrared is heat producing when, in fact, it is not. The infrared wavelength used in Celluma increases mitochondrial function in compromised tissue located in the dermal and subcutaneous layer of the skin. It is not thermal in nature, so no heat is produced by the infrared wavelengths. However, with Celluma, the resistors on the circuit board produce a little warmth which may produce a temporary pinkish complexion, and this may not be desirable with a rosacea client however temporary.

Yes. The new ELITE S2 is the first 5-mode device FDA-cleared for body contouring, hair restoration, acne, ageing skin, and pain. The ELITE S2 features a modular design, powering up to three LED panels, offering three times the coverage during a single treatment. It also includes interchangeable large and small accessory panels for location-specific body applications.

All of Celluma's devices have the same light energy output per square cm and the same effectiveness per treatment mode. The PRO is a larger device, covering more surface area of the skin, and thus has more LED's than the standard sized HOME/FACE/RESTORE/LITE/NOVA. For example, using the WRINKLES treatment, the PRO and the FACE/HOME/RESTORE/LITE/NOVA deliver the same light energy output.

All Celluma's devices have the same light energy output per square centimetre and the same effectiveness per treatment mode. The PRO is a larger device, covering more surface area of the skin, and thus has more LED's than the standard-sized LITE. For example, using the WRINKLES program, the PRO and the LITE emit the same light energy output per cm².

Based on extensive research, low-level-light therapy devices have been cleared by the FDA, and shown to manage: Ageing skin and fine lines and wrinkles, Hair restoration, Body contouring, Muscle spasm, Minor muscle and joint aches, Minor muscle, joint and arthritic pain, Pain and stiffness associated with arthritis, Sub-optimal local blood flow and circulation, Superficial, benign vascular and pigment lesions, Minor chronic neck and shoulder pain of a musculoskeletal origin, Mild to moderate acne vulgaris, Reduction in acne breakouts

The Celluma Hair program (used in the RESTORE, NOVA, ELITE, and CONTOUR PLUS) is the only Celluma program FDA-cleared to treat and restore thinning hair in those suffering from certain categories of androgenetic alopecia. Research has shown that red light energy delivered within specific parameters can prolong the anagen (growing) phase of the hair and prevent the onset of the catagen phase (death) of the hair.

Poor circulation and the lack of oxygen and other essential molecules (i.e., glucose, Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)) in blood vessels can cause pain or a lack of sensation. Macrophages exposed to red light therapy release cytokines (over 100 proteins produced by white blood cells that signal immune response to inflammation) that stimulate the production of growth factors influencing the inflammatory process, healing, and wound repair.

Light Therapy stimulates lymph activity, helping to reduce edema, or fluid buildup. Increasing lymph activity also can help to quicken the healing process, because the lymph system is responsible for helping the body to eliminate waste products and bacteria. Macrophages are stimulated by LED light therapy. Within the lymph nodes, macrophages destroy microorganisms — this process is called phagocytosis — so that the lymph system can begin the process of removing them from the body.

The Contour mode emits red and near infrared light energy. These proven wavelengths target and activate fat cells, creating temporary pores in fat cell membranes, allowing lipids to leak out and then be excreted through the body's normal metabolic processes. This results in smaller fat cells, and a slimmer you!

The optimal protocol for hair growth is using the RESTORE/NOVA/CONTOUR PLUS/ELITE device every other day for 16 weeks. For optimal results, consider our RESTORE Hair Serum, which is designed to be used in conjunction with your Celluma light therapy device.

The effect on the adipose cells is immediate. Results will vary by individual. Most people will experience results even after one session. Cumulative treatments will achieve the best results. In an observational study, participants experienced more than a 2” decrease in waist circumference over four weeks.

Low-level LED light therapy is a highly safe and non-invasive treatment, making it suitable for all skin types and ages. Unlike other light-based treatments, it doesn't use UV rays, so there's no risk of burning or skin damage. The light emitted by the LEDs penetrates the skin gently, promoting healing and rejuvenation without any discomfort or downtime. This therapy has been extensively studied and used in clinical settings for decades, with a strong track record of safety. Celluma follows the science of safety and efficacy very closely and that is why it has been FDA-cleared for various applications, including skin care, hair restoration, body contouring, and pain management. The vast majority of people experience no side effects, and the treatment is so gentle that it can be used regularly to maintain skin and hair health. However, there are some important contraindications to consider: All photo-sensitive drugs are a contraindication for Celluma. Allow 3-5 days before administering Celluma and consult your doctor if you have recently been taking photo-sensitive prescriptions. Do not use if you are on steroidal medication – injections only. Do not use it over a pregnant belly (but you can use it over the face).Do not use if you have a history of epilepsy or seizures. Do not use over any cancer or any known metastasis before getting clearance from your doctor(s). In all of the above, or with children under 12, always consult your primary care physician before using Celluma or any light therapy product.

Red light therapy is often used for various skin treatments and has been studied for its potential to stimulate collagen and elastin production, improve skin texture, reduce inflammation, and promote wound healing. Its ability to reach deeper layers of the skin allows it to potentially affect cellular processes and stimulate beneficial changes within the skin’s structure and function. Blue light therapy is known for its effectiveness in treating acne by targeting the bacteria that contribute to breakouts within the skin’s superficial layers. Based on clinical research, Celluma devices use blue light at 465 nanometers.

The following contraindications apply to all LED devices but vary from country to country. Be sure to check the contraindications for the country in which you practice or reside. Do not use over the breast or stomach of a breast-feeding or pregnant person. Do not use on infants or children. Do not use if the patient or administrator has epilepsy or a history of seizures. Avoid using when the patient is taking cortisone injections or any other kind of steroid injection(s).Avoid use if the patient is using photosensitising drugs. Do not perform LED therapy over known cancer tumor or metastasis. Contraindications may vary by country.

Low-level-light therapy or photobiomodulation is based on Light Emitting Diode (LED) technology and is the application of light energy to tissue to obtain therapeutic benefits for a variety of conditions including skin, pain, and hair restoration as well as body contouring. It promotes a natural photobiochemical reaction similar to the process of plant photosynthesis. Human cells absorb red and near-infrared (NIR) light energy in the mitochondria, transforming photons into cellular energy (ATP) that produces a cascade of metabolic effects and proven health benefits. Think of it as giving your skin, body, and hair a natural energy boost. By penetrating deep into the tissues, light therapy helps to increase cellular metabolism, improve blood circulation and enhance the activity of your cells, encouraging them to repair, regenerate, and function more effectively. This process can lead to healthier skin, reduced inflammation, relief from muscle and joint pain, and for your hair, it means stronger roots, less shedding, and even new growth.

Red light therapy is a term used to describe low-level light therapy (LLLT) using light emitting diodes (LED's) for the application of specific wavelengths of light energy to produce therapeutic benefits in humans. Red light therapy often describes the use of both red light and near-infrared light, which have been proven in clinical research as safe, effective, non-invasive treatments for skin conditions, muscle and joint pain, hair growth, and more. On the electromagnetic spectrum, red light is within the visible spectrum of light, ranging from 620 to 700 nanometer (nm) range. The middle range of these wavelengths are the most commonly researched and used in clinical applications. Red light can reach deep into the layers of skin, including the dermis, reaching approximately 5-10 millimeters below the skin surface. Based on clinical research, Celluma devices use red light at 640 nanometers. Near-infrared light (NIR) is outside the visible spectrum of light and invisible to the naked eye. NIR wavelengths range from 700 - 1,000 nanometers. NIR light can penetrate more deeply into the skin and tissues than red light, reaching even beyond the dermis into the subcutaneous tissue. This means light energy penetration of up to 25mm! This deeper penetration of near-infrared light is one reason why it’s utilised in therapeutic applications such as pain management, wound healing, muscle recovery, and skin rejuvenation. Based on clinical research, Celluma devices use NIR at 880 nanometers. Wavelengths

The PRO is FDA cleared to treat acne, ageing skin, & pain. The CONTOUR has a program FDA cleared for body contouring. The CONTOUR mode on the CONTOUR device is a totally different program and algorithm than any of our other treatment programs in other Celluma devices. It has the highest dose of red and near infrared light so that we can produce the same outcomes as the clinical research when targeting subcutaneous fat cells. It only emits red and near infrared light (blue light is turned off). Wrinkles or Pain would not meet the criteria of the clinical studies. On the CONTOUR/CONTOUR PLUS, POD, NOVA, PRO PLUS, or DELUX devices, use the contour mode.

All Celluma Series devices are classified Class II medical devices and are not returnable if used. For more information please read our return & refund policy.

It is recommended to wait one week following steroidal injections. Oral and topical steroidal meds and creams are not contraindicated. This contraindication and recommendation apply to all brands of LLLT (Low Level Laser Therapy) devices regardless of what another company may say. The reason not to use LLLT for patients on steroidal injections is that the steroid inhibits the healing process, so it basically renders the LLLT temporarily ineffective (waste of time).Oral and topicals are far less concentrated in the body so are a lot less likely to affect the response of the tissue to the light therapy. We have always said to wait a week to be on the safe side and this has not changed. Age, health status and different meds have different effects on different people.
