FAQ - LED Light Therapy
What is LED light therapy?
LED light therapy, or light emitting diode therapy, involves the use of different wavelengths of light to treat various conditions. The color of light used corresponds to different wavelengths, with each offering specific benefits for the skin. Blue light targets acne-causing bacteria, red light stimulates collagen production, and infrared light promotes healing and aids in improving pain from conditions such as osteoarthritis, tendonitis, back pain, and sports injuries.
Is LED light therapy safe?
LED Light Therapy is considered safe. It's non-invasive, painless, and doesn't cause any burning or downtime. The Celluma device used is FDA-cleared as a treatment for a variety of conditions.
How often should I use LED light therapy?
How often you should use LED light therapy depends on your needs and what you’re targeting; however, we recommend using LED light therapy 2-4 times each week for 15-30 minutes per area that’s being treated over a period of several weeks to see significant results.
When will I see results from LED light therapy?
Since results vary from person to person, it’s different for everyone. Most users report a noticeable difference after just a few sessions. Consistency is key to seeing optimal, long-term results.
Are the effects of LED light therapy permanent?
Because your skin cells are constantly being shed and renewed, the effects of LED light therapy are not permanent.
How does LED light therapy work?
LED light therapy uses different wavelengths of light to treat a multitude of concerns. The light penetrates the skin at different depths, with blue light affecting the uppermost layer (used for acne), red light traveling further into the skin (used for uneven skin texture, wrinkles, fine lines, psoriasis, rosacea, eczema, and scars, as well as used to promote wound healing and tissue repair), and near-infrared light penetrating deepest (used for pain management).
FAQ - LED Light Therapy For
Body Contouring
What is LED light therapy for body contouring?
LED light therapy for body contouring involves exposing the skin to low levels of red or near-infrared light. The light penetrates the skin and stimulates cellular processes that can lead to fat reduction, improved skin texture, and body contouring.
How does LED light therapy work for fat reduction?
LED light therapy works by penetrating the skin and affecting the fat cells beneath. The light energy causes the fat cells to release their contents, which are then naturally eliminated by the body’s lymphatic system. This process can reduce the volume of fat in the treated areas, which ultimately leads to reduced circumference in the areas of the body and an improved body shape.
What areas of the body can be treated with LED light therapy for body contouring?
Common areas treated with LED light therapy for contouring include the abdomen, thighs, arms, hips, and buttocks. The LED light therapy can be used on the neck, as well, as contouring, but not on the face.
How long do the results of LED light therapy for body contouring last?
LED light therapy doesn’t kill the fat cells; rather it depletes the fat that is in the cell. Maintaining a well-balanced diet, getting regular exercise, and leading a healthy lifestyle will help your results to remain consistent. Regular maintenance sessions are needed to preserve the effects long-term.
Who is a good candidate for LED light therapy for body contouring?
Those who are looking for mild to moderate fat reduction in specific areas and who are not significantly overweight will benefit most from the LED light therapy for contouring. It’s best suited for individuals who are near their target weight but have stubborn fat areas that do not respond well to diet and exercise.
How many sessions of LED light therapy for body contouring will I need to see results?
Since everybody is different, treatment and results vary from person to person. We recommend using LED light therapy for body contouring 3 times/week for 4-8 weeks. Most users report results after just one or two treatments, and you will need to be consistent with session to achieve noticeable results.
