What is Low-Level Light Therapy?
Low-level light therapy or photobiomodulation is based on Light Emitting Diode (LED) technology and is the application of light energy to tissue to obtain therapeutic benefits for a variety of conditions, including skin, pain, and hair restoration, as well as body contouring. It promotes a natural photobiochemical reaction similar to the process of plant photosynthesis. The energy delivered by the LEDs has been shown to enhance cellular metabolism, accelerate the repair and replenishment of damaged cells, reduce inflammation, and stimulate collagen production, the foundation of smooth skin and healthy bodies.
How is Celluma compared to other brands?
The most significant difference is that Celluma devices are flexible and shape-taking, without the need to hold it in place or the need to use a stand or cradle. Almost all Celluma devices can be contoured to the treatment area. Several devices are battery powered meaning they do not need to be plugged into a power outlet to be used, making them extremely versatile. The Celluma SERIES is the most medically credentialed LED device in the world as well as the most award-winning. The Celluma PRO and PRO PLUS, and multi-panel Celluma CONTOUR and CONTOUR PLUS are the most popular and most versatile devices on the market.
Can I use serums or masks while getting a facial treatment?
Anything placed on the skin has the potential to act as a barrier to light energy absorption, especially if it is oily, shiny, opaque, or contains anything that could reflect light, for example, mineral-based products or sunblock. For these reasons, and because there is no known credible scientific evidence to prove otherwise, we recommend clean, dry, bare skin when using Celluma. To date, scientific studies have shown that only invasive techniques are effective at delivering products deep into tissue, as the skin acts as a powerful barrier. However, if you are using a favorite product or serum and are convinced you are seeing improved results, there is no need to change your protocol.
What Skin Conditions Can Hydrafacial Treatments Address?
Hydrafacial treatments are customizable to target a wide range of skin concerns. They are commonly used to improve the look of fine lines and wrinkles, dullness, dryness and uneven tone or texture. The treatment is also effective in addressing congestion and clogged pores, reducing the visible effects of acne and blemishes and supporting more youthful-looking skin by improving elasticity and plumpness.
How Often Should I Get a Hydrafacial Treatment?
The frequency of Hydrafacial treatments depends on the individual’s unique skin needs and goals. Many clients schedule sessions about once a month to maintain a consistent glow and optimal hydration, while others may find every 2-3 months works well for them. Because Hydrafacial is gentle and non-irritating, it can even be performed as often as every 1-2 weeks for those seeking more intensive results or ongoing maintenance.
Because a Hydrafacial treatment is customizable, providers can recommend the ideal cadence based on skin type, lifestyle, and desired results. Consistent sessions can help extend results, keeping skin looking smooth, radiant, and refreshed.
