FAQ
Are there side effects with low-level LED therapy?
LED DEVICES ARE CONSIDERED TO BE EXTREMELY LOW-RISK WHEN USED PROPERLY.
Does the light therapy hurt?
NO. LIGHT THERAPY IS NON-INVASIVE AND PAINLESS WHEN USED PROPERLY.
How safe is light therapy?
LOW-LEVEL LIGHT THERAPY IS BASED ON LIGHT-EMITTING DIODE (LED) TECHNOLOGY, WHICH WAS DEVELOPED FOR NASA'S MANNED SPACE EXPERIMENTS. THE PATENTED LED TECHNOLOGY GENERATES NEGLIGIBLE AMOUNTS OF HEAT COMPARED TO LASERS AND IS NOT CONSIDERED A SIGNIFICANT POTENTIAL HAZARD.
Does light therapy work with UV light?
NO. CELLUMA ONLY USES A COMBINATION OF BLUE, RED AND NEAR INFRARED (NOT VISIBLE TO THE NAKED EYE) LIGHT EMITTING DIODES (LEDS).
Do more or stronger LEDs have more effect?
NO. THE DECISIVE FACTOR IS THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE LEDS AND THE TREATMENT AREA. CELLUMA'S FLEXIBILITY MEANS IT IS CLOSER TO THE SKIN THAN OTHER LED PANELS AND THAT IS ITS UNBEATABLE ADVANTAGE. CELLUMA IS ALSO IDEAL IN TERMS OF LUMINOSITY. THE SKIN ONLY REACTS POSITIVELY TO LED LIGHT IN A CERTAIN JOULE RANGE AND CELLUMA IS OPTIMALLY ADJUSTED TO THIS. A TREATMENT TIME OF 20-30 MINUTES ACHIEVES A GENTLE THERAPY RESULT. FASTER IS NOT BETTER. YOU DON'T NEED A MORE EXPENSIVE DEVICE TO ACHIEVE A BETTER PERFORMANCE, CELLUMA IS THE BEST ON THE MARKET IN TERMS OF PRICE/PERFORMANCE.
Pulsating or non-pulsating?
Celluma ha programmi con impulsi e senza. Specifici parametri di impulsi al microsecondo modulano l'uscita della luce, permettendo alle cellule di assorbire più energia durante il trattamento. Più energia assorbita dalle cellule significa risultati clinici migliori e più rapidi.
How long does a Celluma session last?
30 MINUTES.
Are any special preparations required before using Celluma?
CELLUMA SHOULD BE IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE AREA TO BE TREATED. THE SKIN SHOULD ALSO BE FREE OF CLOTHING, MAKE-UP OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT CAN REPEL LIGHT FROM THE SKIN.
Why do I have to take off my make-up?
MANY MAKE-UP FORMULAS CONTAIN MINERALS THAT CAN DEFLECT LIGHT. FOR BEST RESULTS, CLEAN, FRESHLY WASHED SKIN IS RECOMMENDED.
Do I have to lie down for a Celluma treatment?
NO. YOU CAN USE CELLUMA SITTING OR LYING DOWN. FOR EXAMPLE, THERE ARE TWO WAYS TO USE CELLUMA WHEN TREATING THE LOWER BACK: SITTING COMFORTABLY IN A CHAIR WITH THE CELLUMA BENT HORIZONTALLY AROUND THE LOWER BACK, OR LYING DOWN WITH THE DEVICE IN THE LOWER BACK. THE CELLUMA CAN ALSO BE PLACED VERTICALLY ON THE SPINE, ACCORDING TO THE NATURAL CURVATURE OF THE BODY. THE MAIN ADVANTAGE OF ITS DESIGN IS THE UNIQUE ABILITY TO CHANGE ITS SHAPE TO FIT THE PROFILE OF THE BODY. DO NOT LIE DIRECTLY ON THE DEVICE, DO NOT LEAN AGAINST IT AND DO NOT PUT THE FULL WEIGHT OF YOUR BODY ON THE DEVICE.
What is the best position to use Celluma?
THE BEST POSITION IS THE ONE THAT IS MOST COMFORTABLE FOR THE USER. THE USER SHOULD EITHER BE SITTING OR LYING COMFORTABLY AND BE ADEQUATELY SUPPORTED. TO USE THE DEVICE, NEVER OVERSTRETCH OR TWIST IT. INSTEAD, ADJUST THE DEVICE TO THE DESIRED BODY PART. FOR ARMS OR LEGS, CELLUMA CAN BE WRAPPED AROUND THE BODY PART. ONCE POSITIONED, SIT BACK, RELAX, WATCH TV, USE YOUR LAPTOP OR TAKE A NAP.
How close to the skin should Celluma be placed?
PLACE CELLUMA AS CLOSE TO YOUR SKIN AS POSSIBLE, THE CLOSER THE BETTER. A KEY ADVANTAGE OF CELLUMA IS ITS PATENTED FLEXIBLE DESIGN, WHICH ALLOWS IT TO BE POSITIONED CLOSE TO THE SKIN FOR MORE EFFECTIVE RESULTS.
Can I apply make-up after a Celluma session?
YES, YOU CAN RESUME ALL NORMAL ACTIVITIES IMMEDIATELY AFTER APPLICATION.
Can I take Celluma with me when I travel?
YES. CELLUMA IS LIGHTWEIGHT AND PORTABLE, MAKING IT IDEAL FOR TRAVEL. WHEN TRAVELLING TO THE USA, ENSURE THAT THE CORRECT POWER SOURCE AND ELECTRICAL INPUT ARE CHECKED. AN INTERNATIONAL CELLUMA ADAPTER KIT IS INCLUDED WITH ALL UNITS.
Who can use Celluma?
CELLUMA IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR CHILDREN UNDER 12 YEARS OF AGE, FOR PREGNANT OR NURSING MOTHERS, FOR PERSONS WITH A HISTORY OF EPILEPSY OR A KNOWN TUMOUR OR METASTASIS. FOR A COMPLETE LIST OF CONTRAINDICATIONS, SEE THE USER MANUAL.
