Celluma red light therapy uses specific wavelengths of light that interact with cells in the body, a process known as photobiomodulation (PBM). Celluma treatments typically use combinations of red light (around 640–660 nm), near-infrared light (around 880 nm), and, blue light for acne treatments.

​

Acne

On the Celluma Acne setting, the device primarily uses blue light, often combined with red light.

​

• Blue light (around 465 nm): Targets the acne-causing bacteria Cutibacterium acnes. The bacteria naturally contain light-sensitive molecules called porphyrins. When blue light activates these molecules, they produce reactive oxygen species that damage and kills the bacteria.

​

• Red light (around 640 nm): Penetrates deeper into the skin than blue light. It doesn't kill acne bacteria directly. Instead, it helps:

• Reduces inflammation and redness.

• Supports tissue repair and healing after pimples.

• Helps the skin recover more efficiently.

• Reduces the likelihood of post-inflammatory marks by speeding healing.

​

Conditions Treated with Acne setting:

• Mild to Moderate Acne

• Wound healing

• Rosacea

• Psoriasis

• Eczema

​

Anti Aging/Wrinkles

Improves overall skin texture

​

• Smoother skin

• More even skin tone

• Reduced roughness

• A healthier-looking complexion

​

Conditions Treated with Anti-aging/Wrinkles setting::

• Boosts collagen production

• Supporst elastin formation

• Improves skin firmness and elasticity

• Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles over time

​

​

Pain and Inflammation

Rather than completely suppressing inflammation, PBM appears to help the body regulate it, supporting a more balanced healing response.

Conditions Treated with Pain and Inflammation setting:

​

• Muscle strains and sports injuries

• Tendon and ligament injuries

• Osteoarthritis

• Joint pain and stiffness

• Neck and back pain

• Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) discomfort

• Post-exercise muscle soreness

• Wound healing and post-procedure recovery
