FAQ

Photobiomodulation (also known as phototherapy) in skincare is a therapeutic approach that uses light to stimulate biological processes at the cellular level. This technique is also known as LED light therapy or photodynamic therapy.

The Celluma® provides blue, red, and infrared light.

1. LED light promotes cell regeneration and accelerates the healing process by increasing blood circulation.
2. LED light reduces inflammation by modulating immune responses.
3. LED light helps target wrinkles and improve skin texture as it stimulates collagen production. Collagen naturally produced by our bodies contributes to the firmness and elasticity of the skin.
4. LED light targets Acne-Causing Bacteria. Blue light is particularly effective against Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) bacteria, which play a major role in acne development. These bacteria are sensitive to light in the blue wavelength range (approximately 405 to 470 nanometers). Blue light penetrates the epidermis and exerts an antibacterial effect.

The Celluma® is approved by Health Canada and the FDA to treat numerous musculoskeletal and skin conditions.

What makes the Celluma® different from other light therapy skin devices?

• Mask Shape - The flexible panel of the Celluma® allows the LED lights to conform to the entire treatment area, ensuring that the greatest amount of energy will be absorbed by the cells. The effectiveness of a light therapy session depends on the amount of energy absorbed by the cells.
• Pulsed Mode - The pulsation of LED lights allows for more efficient absorption of light energy by the cells, adding a level of sophistication and increased effectiveness to the LED light therapy device.
• The Celluma® can address multiple skin issues simultaneously. The Celluma® is polychromatic, and each mode, whether it's "Acne" or "Anti-aging," combines different types of LED light - blue, red, and infrared - for optimal effectiveness.

Blue Light

Blue light works by penetrating the upper layers of the epidermis, where it targets the bacteria responsible for acne.

Key Benefits

• Reduction and prevention of acne, as well as imperfections and inflammation.
• Promotes healing of skin lesions associated with acne. Regulates sebum production.

Frequency of Use
Two sessions per week for 4-6 weeks are recommended to target acne and promote the benefits mentioned above.

Red Light

Red light penetrates deeper into the skin than blue light, reaching the dermal layer.

Key Benefits

• Promotes collagen production, which can reduce wrinkles and fine lines and improve overall skin texture.
• Healing and tissue repair: Improves cell regeneration, accelerates wound healing, and reduces scars.
• Anti-inflammatory effects: Can reduce inflammation and redness, which is beneficial for conditions such as rosacea or following invasive skin treatments, such as microneedling.

After 1 session: Immediately more radiant, glowing skin from within.

After several sessions: Unified complexion: less apparent fine lines, firmer skin, reduced scars, inflammation, and redness.

For acne, a reduction in inflammation may be observed after one to two Celluma® sessions.

Please note that it is not possible to guarantee Celluma® results before the skin renewal cycle is complete, which is typically 30 to 45 days after the first Celluma® session (especially regarding firmness, fine lines, etc.)

• Not recommended if you have a history of epilepsy or seizures.
• Not recommended for children under 12 years old.
• If you have cancer, please seek prior authorization from your doctor before use.
• If you are taking photosensitive medications, please wait 3-5 days between taking medication and your Celluma® LED light therapy session.
• If you are receiving steroid injections, please wait 3 to 5 days between your injections and your Celluma® LED light therapy session.
