I'm always looking for new ways to elevate your self-care ritual, and now your facial experience at Bisous Esthetics comes with an extra dose of light-powered magic! After trying this device for myself, I was hooked. Say hello to our new Celluma PRO! Celluma PRO uses red, blue, and infra-red LED therapy to stimulate collagen and elastin production, reduce inflammation, kill acne bacteria, and even ease muscle aches and pains. LED light therapy is a relaxing and results-driven treatment that works on a cellular level. This is a cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment designed to unlock your skin's natural potential for health and radiance for results you can see and feel.
How does Light Therapy work?
Building on technology originally developed by NASA, Celluma PRO utilizes specific wavelengths of light to gently stimulate your cells, enhancing their natural ability to heal, repair, and regenerate. This clinically proven approach effectively improves skin tone, refines texture, and boosts overall skin health from within. With different therapeutic light colors penetrating at varying depths, each session offers a customizable treatment tailored for your concerns.
Red Light (640 nm)
This specific wavelength of red light deeply penetrates the skin to stimulate the mitochondria within your cells. Think of mitochondria as your cells' tiny power plants; when they're energized, they work more efficiently. This boost in cellular activity directly leads to a significant increase in collagen and elastin production. Collagen and elastin are the proteins responsible for your skin's structure and elasticity. The result? Improved skin firmness and resilience, a visible reduction in the appearance of fine lines, and an overall healthier complexion.
Near Infra-red (880 nm)
Invisible to the eye, Near Infrared (NIR) light penetrates even deeper than red light, reaching into muscles, joints, and connective tissues, the key to its remarkable therapeutic effects. NIR light works by enhancing cellular metabolism and increasing microcirculation to the treated area. This means more oxygen and nutrients are delivered to damaged cells, while waste products are efficiently removed. The outcome is powerful, it relieves muscle and joint pain, effectively reduces inflammation, and significantly increases circulation, accelerating the body's natural healing processes for discomfort from conditions like arthritis or post-workout soreness.
Blue Light (465 nm)
Blue light offers a targeted approach to combating acne. Its unique wavelength directly targets and kills P. acnes bacteria, the primary bacteria responsible for causing breakouts. By eradicating these bacteria, blue light effectively prevents future breakouts and helps to clear existing blemishes. What's more, it also plays a crucial role in regulating the activity of oil glands without over-drying the skin, leaving your complexion clearer, calmer, and more balanced.
NASA & LED Light Therapy: The Science
Proven benefits, backed by research. In the 1990s, NASA began using red and near-infrared LED light to help promote plant growth in space. During that research, they discovered it also had powerful effects on human tissue healing. Astronauts experienced faster wound healing and reduced muscle and bone loss in microgravity when exposed to specific wavelengths of LED light. Giving Cells the Energy They Need: Much like photosynthesis in plants, red and infrared (IR) therapy -- or “low-level light” therapy -- uses specific, proven wavelengths to stimulate a natural response in human tissue that can increase circulation, accelerate tissue repair, ease muscle pain, relieve joint stiffness, and enhance overall cell performance on a microscopic level.
Is Celluma PRO LED therapy safe? Are there any side effects?
Absolutely! Celluma PRO LED therapy is remarkably safe. It's an FDA-cleared, non-invasive, and completely painless treatment. There's no UV light involved, so you can relax knowing it's gentle on your skin. While highly unlikely, some individuals with particularly sensitive skin might experience very mild, temporary redness or warmth in the treated area, which typically resolves within a short time.
