Question 1

What is LED light therapy?

Accepted Answer

LED light therapy, also called photobiomodulation, uses specific wavelengths of light to trigger natural responses in skin and tissue. The light is absorbed by cells, primarily by the mitochondrial enzyme cytochrome c oxidase, which increases cellular energy (ATP), supports collagen production, and helps regulate inflammation. The Celluma Pro Plus uses three wavelengths: blue at 465 nm for acne-causing bacteria, red at 640 nm for skin renewal, and near-infrared at 880 nm for deeper tissue and pain.

Question 2

Does LED light therapy work?

Accepted Answer

Yes. LED light therapy is supported by decades of clinical research, including studies originally funded by NASA. The Celluma Pro Plus is a Health Canada approved and FDA Class II cleared medical device with specific clearances for mild-to-moderate acne vulgaris, periorbital wrinkles, muscle and joint pain, arthritic pain, compromised local circulation, and body contouring. Results build with a series of sessions.

Question 3

Is LED light therapy safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes. LED light therapy is UV-free, non-thermal, drug-free, and non-invasive. The Celluma Pro Plus is a Class II medical device. Side effects are uncommon and typically limited to brief mild redness. Eye protection is provided during treatment.

Question 4

Does LED light therapy hurt?

Accepted Answer

No. The treatment is painless. Most clients feel nothing or a mild gentle warmth. You can read, relax, or rest during the 30-minute session.

Question 5

How many LED light therapy sessions do I need?

Accepted Answer

Most concerns respond best to a series. For acne, expect 2 to 3 sessions per week for 4 to 6 weeks. For anti-aging and skin renewal, 2 sessions per week for 6 to 8 weeks gives meaningful visible change. For pain relief, many clients feel improvement after 1 to 3 sessions. Maintenance is typically once every 1 to 2 weeks.

Question 6

What does blue LED light therapy do?

Accepted Answer

Blue light at 465 nm targets Cutibacterium acnes, the bacteria associated with acne. It reduces active breakouts and helps keep pores from re-clogging. Blue light is most effective when paired with red light for inflammation control.

Question 7

What does red LED light therapy do?

Accepted Answer

Red light at 640 nm penetrates the dermis to stimulate fibroblasts, the cells that produce collagen and elastin. This supports firmer skin, reduces the appearance of fine lines, evens tone, and calms post-treatment redness.

Question 8

What is near-infrared light used for?

Accepted Answer

Near-infrared at 880 nm penetrates deeper than red or blue light. It supports microcirculation, eases muscle and joint pain and stiffness, and is the wavelength behind LED therapy's pain-management clearances.

Question 9

How long is a LED light therapy session?

Accepted Answer

A standard Celluma session is 30 minutes. With consultation and skin prep, plan about 45 minutes for the visit.

Question 10

Can I do LED light therapy with other treatments?

Accepted Answer

Yes. LED light therapy pairs well with facials, chemical peels, microdermabrasion, and microchanneling. It is often used immediately after a treatment to calm inflammation and support skin recovery. Avoid LED therapy while using systemic photosensitizing medications without consulting your physician.

Question 11

Who should not get LED light therapy?

Accepted Answer

LED light therapy is not recommended during pregnancy over the breasts or stomach, for clients with epilepsy or a seizure history, for anyone with active malignancy or cancer in the treatment area, those on photosensitizing medications, those who have had recent cortisone or steroid injections in the treatment area, or for children under 12.

Question 12

What makes the Celluma Pro Plus different from other LED devices?

Accepted Answer

The Celluma Pro Plus is the only Celluma model with four treatment modes in one device: acne, anti-wrinkle, pain, and body contouring. Its flexible body-conforming panel positions over the face or any treatment area without a separate stand. Celluma is the most award-winning LED brand in professional skincare, named Best LED Device by ASCP Skin Deep magazine for 9 consecutive years.
