At our Colorado Springs medical spa, we’re passionate about offering the latest proven, effective medical spa treatments. Non-invasive light therapy with Celluma uses powerful low-level light therapy (LLLT) to effectively promote healing, reduce pain and inflammation, and treat common skin concerns such as acne, fine lines, and wrinkles—making it a powerhouse, completely non-invasive way to look and feel your best!
What is Celluma Light Therapy?
Celluma Light Therapy is an advanced form of LED light therapy that uses specific wavelengths of light to penetrate the skin and stimulate cellular repair. Unlike traditional facials or topical skincare treatments, this FDA-cleared technology works at the cellular level.
Celluma’s red, blue, and near-infrared light therapy treatments have been extensively studied and proven to support skin rejuvenation, acne reduction, hair growth, fat reduction, and pain relief. Fun fact: Light therapy was originally developed by NASA to promote tissue healing in astronauts!
How does Light Therapy work?
Step 1: Emits light energy
Celluma’s LED panel emits specific wavelengths of light, including red and near-infrared, which are made up of energy particles called photons.
Step 2: Cells absorb the light, triggering a biological response
When these photons reach the skin, the cells’ mitochondria (organelles that generate the chemical energy needed to power biochemical reactions) absorb the light, which activates the natural processes within the cell.
Step 3: Increased cellular energy boosts repair and regeneration
The absorbed light stimulates ATP (adenosine triphosphate) production, which is the energy source that powers cell functions. With more ATP available, cells can repair and regenerate more efficiently for faster healing, reduced inflammation, and improved skin health.
In sum, light therapy gives each cell more energy to carry out critical functions for both aesthetic and functional improvements that range from better skin health to tissue regeneration after trauma or injury.
The Benefits of Celluma Light Therapy
Light therapy treatments are painless, require zero downtime, and are safe for all skin types and skin tones! They also offer several specific benefits:
1. Anti-aging and skin rejuvenation
Celluma’s red light therapy can help restore a more youthful complexion by:
- Reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and stretch marks
- Stimulating collagen production for firmer skin
- Improving skin tone, elasticity, and hydration
- Enhancing overall radiance and smoothness
2. Acne treatment
Struggling with breakouts? Celluma’s blue light targets acne at its source by:
- Eliminating bacteria that cause breakouts
- Reducing redness and inflammation
- Promoting clearer, healthier skin without harsh medications
3. Pain relief & muscle recovery
Beyond skincare, Celluma’s near-infrared light therapy provides powerful pain relief by:
- Reducing muscle and joint inflammation
- Alleviating chronic pain from arthritis, injuries, or overuse
- Enhancing tissue repair and recovery after trauma or injury
- Supporting post-surgical healing
4. Hair regrowth
Celluma Light Therapy can also support hair regrowth by:
- Stimulating dormant hair follicles to encourage new growth
- Increasing circulation in the scalp for healthier, thicker hair
5. Body contouring & fat reduction
Red and near-infrared light therapy can support body contouring efforts by:
- Enhancing circulation and lymphatic drainage to reduce bloating
- Creating openings in fat cells, allowing stored lipids to escape and be naturally eliminated through the body
What to expect during your Celluma Light Therapy session
A typical light therapy treatment at PureLee Redefined is relaxing and pain-free. We place the flexible LED panel over your treatment area (i.e. face, neck, back, shoulders, or other targeted areas) and you’ll feel a comfortable warming sensation from the light. We provide protective eyewear for facial treatments.
Light therapy sessions last between 30-45 minutes. You can return to your daily activities immediately after your appointment. For standalone treatments, we typically recommend 2-3 light therapy sessions per week for several weeks until your concerns are resolved (when possible).
We often combine light therapy with other skin rejuvenation treatments (like Hydrafacials, chemical peels, and RF microneedling) to enhance results.
The Celluma difference
Not all light therapy devices are created equal. Celluma is FDA-cleared and the premier choice for professional, medical-grade LED devices. These devices emit precise wavelengths of red light, blue light, and near-infrared light to support the body on a cellular level, so simply applying a device with red or blue colored light will do nothing—the wavelengths of light must be within certain ranges to be effective. Most at-home devices you can buy online aren’t tested or regulated, and the emitted light may not actually fall into effective ranges (or even provide wavelength measurements for you to verify its efficacy).
Wavelengths in Celluma Light Therapy
Celluma’s LED panel emits three different wavelengths of light:
- Red light (640nm). Red light stimulates collagen and elastin production to noticeably reduce lines and wrinkles and improve overall skin texture and health. It also stimulates new hair growth.
- Blue light (465nm). Blue light kills acne-causing bacteria to prevent breakouts and calm inflammation.
- Near-infrared light (880nm). Near-infrared light penetrates deeper to reduce pain, inflammation, and promote muscle recovery. Red and near-infrared light combined help with fat reduction.
Is Celluma Light Therapy right for you?
Celluma Light Therapy is a safe and effective option for:
- Individuals looking for a non-invasive anti-aging treatment
- People struggling with acne, breakouts, and skin redness
- Anyone suffering with muscle soreness, chronic pain, or joint discomfort
- Those experiencing hair loss or thinning
- Anyone looking to enhance non-invasive body contouring results
Light therapy is generally safe for most people. Please let us know if you are pregnant, have epilepsy, or have other light-sensitive conditions so we can help determine if light therapy is the ideal treatment for you or recommend an alternative service.
