Celluma Light Therapy

LED light therapy harnesses specific wavelengths of light to naturally stimulate the body’s biostimulatory processes, leading to improved circulation, accelerated tissue repair, and reduction of acne and inflammation. Additionally, it has demonstrated efficacy in enhancing skin tone and texture, diminishing under eye wrinkles, and alleviating muscle and joint discomfort. Research findings from a 2018 study underscore the significant therapeutic potential of LED therapy for conditions such as acne, skin rejuvenation, and psoriasis. Moreover, LED therapy has exhibited clinical benefits in medical applications including wound healing, pain management, and inflammatory joint conditions. Notably, Celluma light therapy presents a UV-free, low-level light energy solution through high-intensity LED devices, replicating a natural photobiochemical reaction process.

How does it treat ageing?

Discover the potential of LED therapy in fighting signs of aging. By utilising specific light energy wavelengths like red and near-infrared, this treatment triggers the production of collagen and elastin in the skin. These natural proteins are essential for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness, which may decrease with age. Through activating fibroblast cells, LED therapy boosts the body’s capacity to generate these proteins, leading to improved skin texture, diminished fine lines and wrinkles, and an overall more youthful appearance.

Check out the transformation below: The woman in the photo had just received a microneedling treatment. In the before photo (5A), you can see the redness, irritation, and puffiness under her eyes. After a 30-minute Celluma red light therapy treatment, the second photo (5B) shows reduced redness, diminished fine lines, and no puffiness. Witness the remarkable results after just one treatment.

How does it treat acne?

LED light therapy works by killing acne-causing bacteria at the source, deep beneath the skin’s surface. As people across the nation are searching for more natural, chemical-free alternatives to traditional medical solutions, light therapy fits the bill perfectly. Blue LED light therapy emits specific, clinically-proven wavelengths of light to trigger an all-natural effect in human tissue, killing acne-causing bacteria, decreasing inflammation, and improving skin tone, texture, and clarity from the inside out.

More amazing acne results using Celluma light therapy devices. As you can see in this photo (2A), this woman also suffered from acne lesions on her face and chin area. Notice how red and inflamed her skin is in the before photo. Now look at photo 2B and see the difference that consistent light therapy treatments can make. This woman was treated with Celluma two times per week for eight weeks with no other modality used and you can see the just how much better her skin has improved. The redness, inflammation and lesion count is greatly reduced!

How many sessions do I need?

When it comes to using light therapy, whether it’s blue light therapy for acne, red light therapy for wrinkles and anti-aging issues, or near-infrared light therapy for pain, it’s best to develop an appropriate and doable routine. It’s a bit like going to the gym, if you join but don’t go, then you will not experience any of the many benefits of a gym membership.

Just like working out and exercising, the benefits of LED light therapy are cumulative. So, for best results it’s recommended to do LED treatment at least two to three times a week. After 4 weeks of minimum two treatments per week can you expect to see results like celluma has provided below.

Vitamin B: The Most Underrated Skin Vitamin

A lot of companies talk about the super powers of Vitamin A & C, but what’s hardly mentioned is the power of Vitamin B. Vitamin B, specifically B3 (AKA Niacin) is a truly transformative vitamin.

When we talk about using vitamin B, we need to be specific as there are 8 different types within the B family. The body naturally produces Niacin which is vitamin B3. Niacin is then converted by intestinal bacteria to its active form, niacinamide. This is the form we use in skincare.

One of the main reasons the body creates B3 is to make NAD (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) molecules. NAD molecules are critical coenzymes found in every cell in the body that help with cellular repair, cell defence and other metabolic processes. As we age, the amounts of NAD the body creates decrease. This means our cells take longer to repair themselves.

Because B3 specifically deals with cellular repair, its effects on the skin can be truly transformative.

B3 is perfect for those suffering from dryness, flaking, sensitivity, inflammation/redness, or rosacea. It’s also great for acne/breakout prone skin, because topical vitamin B kills c.acnes bacteria (the bacteria associated with acne), reduces sebaceous secretions and reduces inflammation.

So who needs it?

B3 is also extremely beneficial for barrier function because it increases ceramide (fatty acid) production which helps to maintain a healthy, strong skin barrier. It speeds up cell repair which helps to rebuild an impaired skin barrier, relieving sensitivity.

Because B3 increases ceramide production, helps to retain moisture, and strengthens the outermost layer of the skin, it also reduces the appearance of lines/wrinkles and slows the ageing process of the skin.

In short, vitamin B3 is beneficial for all skin types. You don’t need a pressing skin concern to start using it – you can use it proactively to boost skin health, and combine it with the serums you’re already using.

You won’t regret adding vitamin B3 to your active skincare regime – and your skin won’t either.
