What is Light Therapy?
Light Light-emitting diode (LED) phototherapy is the application of light energy to tissue to obtain therapeutic benefits. The energy is used to improve cellular performance. Phototherapy is known for its healing and anti-inflammatory properties and has a variety of applications across many medical fields. Research has shown that phototherapy can: increase circulation, accelerate tissue repair, decrease wrinkles, decrease inflammation, improve skin tone and wrinkles, texture and clarity, ease muscle and joint pain, stiffness, spasms and arthritis, and kill acne bacteria, and much more.
How Does Light Energy work?
Specific wavelengths of light energy, when properly absorbed, up-regulates compromised cells. The light (photons) energy is absorbed by photoacceptors in the mitochondria and used to create adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The ATP produced then stimulates various metabolic processes which can result in the repair and regeneration of cell and tissue components.
What is Celluma?
Celluma is unique and quite unlike any other low-level light therapy device available today. Based on NASA research, Celluma delivers blue, red, and near-infrared light energy simultaneously to safely treat a wide variety of conditions. Each wavelength is absorbed by different molecules that act as a signaling mechanism for different cellular processes. For example, some reduce inflammation and some kill bacteria, while others enhance localized circulation.
Celluma LED Light Therapy Contraindications
Please read through the following to help you decide if Celluma LED Light Therapy is right for you
CELLUMA CONTRAINDICATIONS:
Do not perform LED therapy on someone that is pregnant or nursing, unless the client has written consent from her physician.
Do not perform LED therapy on someone with a seizure disorder, unless you have consent from the client’s physician.
Do not perform LED therapy when the application of ‘heat’ or increased warmth to the skin is a contraindication. (Resistors on the circuit board produce a mild thermal effect.)
Do not perform LED therapy over known metastasis.
Do not perform LED therapy if a client is on steroidal medications. In the case of steroidal injections, it is best to wait at least 7 days before using LED therapy unless you have consent from your client’s physician.
Do not perform LED therapy if a client is ‘photo-sensitive’, unless you have consent from the client’s physician. Some disorders and medications can cause photosensitivity, so check all medications for precautions / risks prior to using LED.
