What is LED Light Therapy?
Acupuncture is an ancient healing practice rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that has been used for thousands of years to restore balance and promote overall well-being. This time-tested therapy involves the precise insertion of ultra-thin needles into specific points on the body to stimulate natural healing processes, relieve pain, and improve energy flow.
Modern science continues to uncover the many benefits of acupuncture, making it a widely accepted treatment for a range of conditions, from stress and anxiety to chronic pain and digestive issues. Whether you’re seeking relief from discomfort or looking to enhance your overall wellness, acupuncture offers a gentle, holistic approach to health.

How LED Light Therapy works.
LED Light Therapy is a cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate natural healing and rejuvenation at the cellular level. Here’s how it works:
Targeted Light Absorption
The skin, scalp, or affected area absorbs LED light, which penetrates deep into the tissues without causing damage.
Cellular Stimulation
Different light wavelengths (red, blue, and near-infrared) activate cell mitochondria, boosting energy production and promoting repair.
Increased Circulation
The therapy enhances blood flow, delivering oxygen and essential nutrients to support regeneration and reduce inflammation.
Collagen & Elastin Production
Red and infrared light stimulate the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin, essential for skin and tissue health.
Healing & Restoration
The process accelerates healing, reduces pain, improves skin tone, and supports hair growth—without downtime or side effects.
Safe, painless, and suitable for all skin and hair types, LED Light Therapy is a scientifically backed solution for wellness, beauty, and pain relief.
LED Light Therapy Questions. Answered.
What is light therapy?
Low-level-light therapy or photobiomodulation is based on Light Emitting Diode (LED) technology and is the application of light energy to the body for therapeutic benefits. 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 skin cells, as well as stimulate the production of collagen — the foundation of healthy, smooth skin. Research has shown that LED light therapy may help smooth skin texture, improve skin firmness and resilience, increase lymphatic system activity, restore skin’s natural cellular activity, and reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and superficial hyperpigmentation. The treatment is for all skin types, and is non-ablative, non-invasive, painless, and requires absolutely no downtime. Patients or clients can return to their normal activity immediately after the treatment.
For what purpose is light therapy used?
Based on extensive research, low-level-light therapy devices have been cleared by the FDA, and shown to manage:
- Muscle spasm
- Hair restoration
- Body contouring
- Facial wrinkles and rhytides
- Minor muscle and joint aches
- Mild to moderate acne vulgaris
- Minor muscle, joint and arthritic pain
- Pain and stiffness associated with arthritis
- Sub-optimal local blood flow and circulation
- Superficial, benign vascular and pigment lesions
- Minor chronic neck and shoulder pain of a musculoskeletal origin
What do you feel during a light therapy session?
- Light therapy is non-invasive and painless when used as intended.
Can the LED device touch the skin?
Absolutely! The closer to the skin the better. The only time you won’t want it to touch the skin is when you are treating open wounds and concerned about cross-contamination.
Is a LASER the same as an LED?
No, LASER machines are different than LED devices and generally not cleared for use in the home. However, there are different categories of LASERs. Cold and soft LASERs are categorized as low-level light therapy devices just like LED devices. LED and cold LASERs are cleared for the same indications. However, LASERs have inherent drawbacks including extremely small treatment areas, and they are much more expensive to manufacture and maintain. Some companies market their LED devices as LASERs which is both misleading and dangerous.
Does Light therapy hurt?
No. Light therapy is non-invasive and is painless when used as intended.
How safe is light therapy?
Low-level-light therapy is based on light emitting diode (LED) technology developed for NASA-manned space flight experiments. In comparison to lasers, the patented LED technology generates negligible amounts of heat and is not considered a significant risk device.
What Can I Expect?
Most people are surprised at the depth of relaxation and the sense of well being and healing which occurs from the rebalancing of the body’s energy. Often relief from symptoms is felt immediately, although relief may occur over the course of days or weeks depending on the severity of symptoms. You will find you will look forward to treatment for the many benefits that are received from acupuncture.
Does light therapy utilize UV light?
No. it utilizes only light emitting diodes (LEDs) only.
How long does a Light Therapy session last?
Thirty (30) minutes.
Are there any special preparations required before using LED Light Therapy??
The device should be in close proximity to the area being treated. Skin should also be free of clothing, makeup, or anything else that may deflect light away from the skin.
How close should Celluma be placed to the treatment area?
During your treatment we will position the device as close to your skin as possible, the closer the better. One key advantage to this device is its patented flexible design, which allows for close positioning to the skin, and may lead to more effective results.
Why do I need to remove my makeup?
Many makeup formulas contain minerals that may deflect light. Clean, freshly washed skin is recommended for best results. At the clinic we provide face wash and eye makeup remover to use before your treatment.
Can I apply makeup after a Light Therapy session?
Yes. You may resume all normal activities immediately following use.
Are More LED’s better?
Not necessarily! What’s important is that an LED device emits between 2 and 10 joules per centimeter squared, at or close to the surface of the skin, to improve cellular energy and increase tissue repair and healing
