Celluma Light Therapy for Skin conditions
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 inflammation, kill acne bacteria, reduce symptoms and slow the progress of common skin conditions such as ACNE, ECZEMA, PSORIASIS, DERMATITIS, VITILIGO.
Combination blue (415 nm) and red (633 nm) LED phototherapy in the treatment of mild to severe acne vulgaris. Goldberg DJ, Russell BA.
CONCLUSIONS: Combination blue and red LED therapy appears to have excellent potential in the treatment of mild to severe acne. Treatment appears to be both pain- and side effect-free.
An open study to determine the efficacy of blue light in the treatment of mild to moderate acne. Morton CA, Scholefield RD, Whitehurst C, Birch J
CONCLUSIONS: Eight 10- or 20-minute treatments over 4 weeks with a narrowband blue light was found to be effective in reducing the number of inflamed lesions in subjects with mild to moderate acne. The treatment had little effect on the number of comedones. The onset of the effect was observable at the first assessment, at week 5, and maximal between weeks 8 and 12. Blue light phototherapy using a narrowband LED light source appears to be a safe and effective additional therapy for mild to moderate acne.
Efficacy of blue light vs. red light in the treatment of psoriasis: a double-blind, randomized comparative study.Kleinpenning MM, Otero ME, van Erp PE, Gerritsen MJ, van de Kerkhof PC.
CONCLUSIONS: The clinical improvement of psoriasis, with respect to erythema, in particular after blue light and to a lesser extent after red light indicates that visible light treatment could represent a treatment option for psoriasis.
Celluma low -level laser therapy brings best results when combining it with
acupuncture, however it can be done on its own.
