Celluma LED Light Therapy in Medellín: phototherapy for your skin's recovery and quality

Medical-grade facial LED light therapy stimulates skin cells without heat and without downtime. At our practice we use Celluma®, a panel that emits blue, red and near-infrared light at the same time and is FDA-cleared for acne and facial wrinkles.

Dr. Olga Gómez Montoya, physician and surgeon from the University of Antioquia, recommends it mainly to support recovery after laser or microneedling, for acne and for skin quality, always as part of a plan.

What it is

What is LED phototherapy and how does it work?

Almost all aesthetic technologies work through controlled injury: lasers, HIFU or microneedles injure the skin precisely so that it repairs itself. LED light is the exception: it stimulates without causing damage.

Cells absorb red and near-infrared light and increase their energy. This activates fibroblasts, the cells that produce collagen, and supports repair. Blue light, on the other hand, acts on acne-causing bacteria.

What is it used for?

Recovery after laser or microneedling.
Acne, as a complement to medical treatment.
Fine lines and skin quality.
Sensitive skin that needs calming.

Is LED light therapy right for me?

It's for you if…

You're having a laser or microneedling treatment and want to support your recovery.
You have acne and are under medical treatment.
You want to improve your skin quality with no downtime.
You have sensitive skin that doesn't tolerate aggressive treatments.

It's not for you if…

You take medications that make your skin sensitive to light.
You expect the result of a laser or a biostimulator.

Indications

What do we use Celluma LED light for?

It almost always accompanies another treatment. Tap each indication to see the related page.

Recovery after procedures

Supports skin recovery after CO2 laser or microneedling. See CO2 laser and microneedling.

Acne

Blue light acts on acne-causing bacteria and red light helps calm inflammation. It complements the medical treatment of acne.

Fine lines and skin quality

Red and infrared light stimulate the activity of the cells that produce collagen. See skin quality.

Sensitive, reddened skin

Because it doesn't heat the skin, it's a gentle option for reactive skin, as a complement to its treatment.

My approach

The only technology that stimulates without causing damage

LED light is not a "miracle" treatment or a replacement for laser. Its value lies elsewhere: it adds benefit without adding downtime. That's why we use it to help the skin recover better after a procedure, and as support for acne and skin quality.

There's also a nuance that is rarely explained: in photobiomodulation there is an appropriate dose. Too little light does nothing, and too much may not help. That's why we prescribe it with medical-grade devices and controlled times, not with more sessions than necessary.

"Not everything that works on the skin has to hurt it." — Dr. Olga Gómez Montoya

Step by step

What is an LED light session like, step by step?

Medical assessment

The doctor reviews your skin, your medications and whether you have any condition that makes your skin sensitive to light.

Cleansing

The skin is cleansed and makeup is removed so the light can reach it properly.

Session

You lie down under the flexible Celluma® panel, with eye protection. You won't feel heat or pain.

Session plan

Depending on the goal, several consecutive sessions are scheduled or it is used after other procedures.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about Celluma LED light therapy

What is Celluma LED light therapy?

It is a medical-grade LED phototherapy device. It emits blue, red and near-infrared light at the same time from a flexible panel that adapts to the face or body. It doesn't heat or injure the skin.

How does LED light work on the skin?

Through photobiomodulation: cells absorb the light and increase their energy and activity. Unlike a laser, which works through controlled injury, LED stimulates without causing damage. The most studied mechanism involves a mitochondrial enzyme, although it is probably not the only pathway.

What is Celluma LED light used for?

Celluma is cleared by the US FDA for acne, facial wrinkles and some muscle and joint pain. At our practice we use it mainly for recovery after procedures, acne and skin quality.

What does each color of light do?

Blue light acts on the surface and is used for acne. Red light reaches a little deeper and helps calm the skin and stimulate collagen. Near-infrared light reaches deeper still and supports tissue repair.

Does it hurt or require recovery time?

No. You won't feel heat or pain, and you can return to your routine immediately. That's why it pairs well with treatments that do involve recovery, such as laser.

How many sessions do I need?

It depends on the goal. For acne or skin quality, several consecutive sessions are usually scheduled; for recovery, it is used after the procedure. The plan is defined at your assessment.

Does LED light replace other treatments?

No. It is a complement. It doesn't replace the medical treatment of acne, nor does it deliver the result of a laser or a biostimulator. Its value lies in adding benefit without adding downtime.

Is it the same as an at-home LED mask?

No. Medical-grade devices like Celluma have more power, a controlled dose and clearance for specific indications. Also, with LED light more is not always better: there is an appropriate dose, and too much light may not help.

Who should not have LED light therapy?

It is not recommended if you take medications that make the skin sensitive to light, if you have a condition that worsens with light exposure, or during pregnancy without an evaluation. That's why a prior assessment is important.

How much does Celluma LED light therapy cost in Medellín?

It depends on the number of sessions and whether it is combined with another procedure. At your assessment in El Poblado we explain the plan and its investment clearly. Message us ASSESSMENT.
