We’re now offering Red and Blue Light Therapy at Everly Grace Whole Beauty! This light therapy can benefit everyone, from helping teens clear up acne, to alleviating muscle and joint pain in active clients to overall cell health, this add-on treatment is worth it!

First, it’s important to understand how LED red light therapy works so you can understand its benefits. The best way to think of it is like photosynthesis for mammals. The light source emits photons which are absorbed in the mitochondria and cell membranes. This process causes an elevation in adenosine triphosphate synthesis which causes a cascade of metabolic events resulting in beneficial biochemical and cellular changes.

What is LED Light Therapy?

So what is light emitting diode (LED) therapy? Light therapy, also known as phototherapy or low-level light therapy, is the application of specific wavelengths of light energy to tissue to obtain therapeutic benefits for a variety of conditions including skin and pain.

The absorbed energy is then used to improve cellular performance. Light therapy can be delivered through light emitting diode (LEDs) devices or cold lasers, and has a variety of applications across many medical fields. This clinically validated technique is gaining greater and greater acceptance in main stream medicine by dermatologists and cosmetic surgeons as a non-invasive therapeutic modality for the treatment and healing of skin and wound conditions and by pain professionals for pain relief.

Phototherapy, or LED light therapy, has been widely researched and is supported by thousands of peer-reviewed and published clinical research papers from prestigious institutions around the world. Other terms by which light therapy is referred to are photobiostimulation, photobiomodulation, photomedicine, LED light therapy, low-level light therapy (LLLT), red light therapy, cold and soft LASER therapy. All terms are correct, have the same meaning and are used to describe the delivery of light energy to treat a variety of medical and cosmetic conditions.

The treatment is non-invasive, painless, requires no recovery time, and can be used safely on all skin types.

How Does a it Work?

The Celluma machine delivers multiple wavelengths of light energy to your skin. This 30 minute program can be used on the face, back, arms or legs as a stand-alone treatment or an add-on while receiving another treatment due to the flexibility of the device. Celluma light therapy fuels cells to function better, increase nutrient uptake and subsequently improve healing time. It is a wonderful complement to our nutritional program.

How long does it take?

Most sessions last 30 minutes, can can be added to any area for $25 during a 90 minute or two hour facial.

What Should I consider Red and Blue Light Therapy for?

• Increase collagen and elastin production:

  When it comes to aging, a significant factor that leads to wrinkles, fine lines, and joint pain is due to inadequate collagen levels. Collagen is the main structural protein found in your skin and other connective tissue. Collagen literally holds our bodies together. Increased fibroblast proliferation is just one benefit of LED red light therapy. Fibroblasts make collagen fibers, so it stands to reason that the more, and healthier, fibroblasts we have in the skin, the more and better collagen fibers are made.

• Kills acne bacteria:

  LED light therapy works by killing acne-causing bacteria at the source, deep beneath the skin’s surface. As people across the nation are searching for more natural, chemical-free alternatives to traditional medical solutions, light therapy fits the bill perfectly. Blue LED light therapy emits specific, clinically-proven wavelengths of light to trigger an all-natural effect in human tissue, killing acne-causing bacteria, decreasing inflammation, and improving skin tone, texture, and clarity from the inside out. However, not all light therapy is created equal.

• Alleviate muscle and joint pain:

  When tissue is damaged, pain occurs. Human tissue can be compromised in a variety of ways; a sprained ankle, a surgical procedure that didn’t heal properly, or even an overly intense gym session can all cause bodily discomfort and emotional distress. Pain can be short-term or long-term, and because it presents itself differently in every person, it can be extremely difficult to treat. The unique ability to bend, flex, and contour close to the skin’s surface allows cells to absorb even more light energy to achieve maximum restorative potential.
