I’ve been interested in LED Light Therapy for sometime but not quite convinced…until now! I’m in love with the Celluma LED device now at EcoBlend Therapies, to support clients concerned with acne, aging, redness, and even pain. I can incorporate a 30 minute relaxing session into your existing favorite treatment, or I have created stand-alone treatments that can be done as often as 3-4 times per week!
So what is Light Therapy?
Light Emitting Diode (LED) phototherapy is the application of light energy to tissue to obtain therapeutic benefits. The energy is used to improve cellular performance. Phototherapy is known for its healing and anti-inflammatory properties and has a variety of applications across many medical fields. Research has shown that phototherapy can:
- increase circulation
- accelerate tissue repair
- decrease wrinkles
- decrease inflammation and redness
- improve skin tone and wrinkles, texture and clarity
- ease muscle and joint pain, stiffness, spasm and arthritis
- kill acne bacteria
- and much more.
How Does Light Energy work?
Specific wavelengths of light energy, when properly absorbed, up-regulates compromised cells. The light (photons) energy is absorbed by photoacceptors in the mitochondria of the cells and used to create adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The ATP produced then stimulates various metabolic processes which can result in the repair and regeneration of cell and tissue components.
What is Celluma?
There are so many traditional LED Light machines but Celluma is unique and quite unlike any other low-level light therapy device available today. Based on NASA research, Celluma delivers blue, red and near-infrared light energy simultaneously to safely treat a wide variety of conditions. Each wavelength is absorbed by different molecules that act as a signaling mechanism for different cellular processes. These processes could be reducing inflammation, some kill unhealthy bacteria, and others enhance localized circulation. It’s light-weight and moldable application allow me to get closer to the skin at all angles for the most optimal delivery and result.
