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.

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.

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.

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.

Celluma Light Therapy has the most medical credentials and clearances of any LED device on the market anywhere in the world. It is FDA-cleared and medically CE marked as well as ISO certified. The most significant differentiator of Celluma devices are our patented, flexible, shape-taking design, allowing the device to be contoured closely to the treatment area to deliver an effective, uniform, and optimal dose of light energy to a curved human body. It also eliminates the need to hold the device in place or the need to use a stand or cradle. Another unique aspect is most of our devices are lightweight and battery-powered, meaning they do not need to be plugged into a power outlet to be used, making them highly versatile and mobile. We offer over a wide range of device models that are multi-wavelength, and have multiple FDA cleared treatment modes in a single device. No other company offers the number of treatment options in one Celluma LED device. Our passion for innovation focuses on whole body wellness, offering different size options from handheld devices to large single LED panels, multi-panels, and full-body devices.

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 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.
