How does LED work?
Based on scientific research pioneered by NASA, Celluma triggers a cascade of metabolic processes which restores compromised cellular function, creating a path to revitalized, wrinkle-free, and blemish-free skin

Face Sculpting Treatment
This facial treatment lifts tones and tightens the skin's natural ability to rebuild the texture of aging skin. Due to the loss of elasticity in the skin as we age our skin naturally begins to lose the tonicity and elasticity of younger skin. This unique treatment will re-educate your facial muscles and the firming results will accumulate as more sessions are added. Deeper lines are plumped up and out and eyes are lifted for a brighter appearance.

LED stands for light-emitting diode. These lights have been in use since the 1960s, but people have only recently begun to use them as a skin treatment.
However, since then, LEDs have shown promising results in wound healing and human tissue growth.
Different wavelengths of light in LED lights, including blue and red, penetrate the skin at different depths. This penetration may trigger biological processes that help the skin rejuvenate and heal.
Blue light
blue LED light reduces activity in the sebaceous glands, which are small oil-producing glands in the skin. This reduction in activity causes the glands to produce less oil, possibly improving acne symptoms.
Blue light may also kill a type of bacteria that contributes to acne by causing inflammation.
blue light can improve minor burns.
Red light
Red LED light may improve scarring and signs of aging, such as wrinkles. It may do this by acting on fibroblasts, which are skin cells that are responsible for collagen production.
Collagen is a protein in the skin and other connective tissues. It plays a role in skin healing. The body produces less collagen as a person ages, which causes the skin to show signs of aging.
Red light also reduces skin inflammation.
LED light therapy can help treat a variety of skin problems, including:
- acne
- dermatitis
- dull skin
- eczema
- psoriasis
- rosacea
- scarring
- signs of aging, including wrinkles and age spots
- sun damage
- wound healing
