Technology
Celluma is a flexible LED panel that delivers specific wavelengths of light to the skin as a form of low-level light therapy, used to aid acne management, tissue healing and skin rejuvenation.
Anti-Aging Clinic can explain how this technology may fit into care, answer your questions, and help you explore the next step with a specialist.

Celluma is a light-emitting diode (LED) device that delivers light therapy to the skin, often called low-level light therapy or photobiomodulation. Its flexible panel sits close to the face or body and gives off specific wavelengths of light, with no heat-based or ablative energy. Different settings use different wavelengths: blue light for acne, and red and near-infrared light for skin rejuvenation and tissue healing. It's a gentle, comfortable treatment that works well alongside other skincare and medical treatments. Sessions are run by our senior laser technicians, under the medical direction of Dr. Gidon Frame.
The device delivers light at particular wavelengths that structures in your skin absorb. Blue light aims to reduce the bacteria (Cutibacterium acnes, formerly Propionibacterium acnes) that contribute to acne. Red and near-infrared wavelengths are absorbed by components inside skin cells, and research links them with supporting cellular activity, local circulation and the skin's natural repair. These are gentle, light-driven biological effects with no heat injury involved. The strength of the evidence differs by wavelength and condition.
We match the mode to your skin and what you'd like to improve.
Anti-Aging Medical & Laser Clinic
Anti-Aging Medical & Laser Clinic can help you explore this technology, related treatments, and connected concerns.
Celluma is non-invasive, needle-free and comfortable, with little or no downtime for most people and no ultraviolet exposure. It combines easily with other skincare and in-clinic treatments, and it can help you reduce reliance on medication where that's clinically appropriate. Benefits build gradually over a course of sessions, and Celluma is a gentle complement to stronger medical or device-based treatments. Individual results vary.
A consistent home routine supports your sessions. Our team can recommend acne and skin-calming products from our online shop.
LED light therapy is generally well tolerated and considered low risk for most people. Sessions are run by our senior laser technicians, under the medical direction of Dr. Gidon Frame, and eye protection, or keeping your eyes closed, is used during facial treatment.
Celluma improves skin appearance and acne, so a significant, persistent or worsening skin concern is assessed medically to guide treatment.

FAQ
No. Celluma uses LED light at specific wavelengths, a form of low-level light therapy, with no heat-based or ablative energy. That's why it's generally comfortable and non-invasive, though sensitivity varies from person to person.
Blue light is the mode most linked with acne, as it aims to reduce the bacteria that contribute to breakouts. It's best suited to mild-to-moderate acne. More significant or cystic acne is assessed by one of our physicians, and light therapy can then support your medical treatment.
Bright LED light can be uncomfortable to look at, so eye protection or closed eyes are used during facial treatment. If you have an eye condition or light sensitivity, mention it before your session.
Improvement builds gradually over a course of sessions. We'll talk through what to expect for your skin and the concern you're treating, and track your progress as you go.
Yes. Celluma is often used alongside skincare or after certain in-clinic procedures. We'll fit it into your plan so the timing and combination suit your skin.
