Let There Be Light
From masks, to hand-held devices and wands, to panels, LED devices are popping up all over the mainstream beauty world. If you've been curious about this technology, read on!
What it is:
Low-level light therapy, or photobiomodulation, is the use of light to stimulate cells in a way that is therapeutic. At Beautsession we utilize an FDA cleared device, called Celluma, to deliver light therapy for the treatment of acne and/or skin rejuvenation. The Celluma may also assist in pain management and wound healing.
How it works and why you want it:
We all know that certain light can be damaging to the skin. UVA/UVB rays can cause serious issues such as sunburns and cancer (wear your sunscreen, people). However, light can also be used in ways that repair. Celluma uses three “colors” of light, blue, red, and near-infrared. These lights penetrate through tissue, activating cellular energy causing a change in cellular activity. This change can lead to the repair and regeneration of damaged cells. This can help reduce acne lesions, calm inflamed skin, reduce wrinkles, increase circulation, encourage speedier wound healing, and beyond. Using the Celluma a few days a weeks can greatly improve the health and appearance of your skin!
No pain, only gain:
Using the Celluma is completely painless. In fact, many people find it so relaxing that they a take a nap during their session. Tune into your favorite podcast and enjoy your self-care!
When will I see results?:
Right away you may notice reduced redness and inflammation and your skin may appear slightly more vibrant with increased circulation. However, tangible results are seen a few weeks after consecutive sessions.
Who can benefit:
Low-level-light therapy can be used on all people who are over the age of 12, who are not pregnant or nursing, and are not photosensitizing medication.
