Light Therapy at Wozani

Celluma light therapy is a gentle, drug-free treatment that uses safe LED light to help with acne, fine lines and wrinkles, and minor muscle and joint pain. You relax for about 30 minutes while a soft, flexible light panel rests over or just above the area being treated. There are no needles, no recovery time, and most people can go straight back to their day.

Celluma is an FDA-cleared medical device. We offer it as part of our whole-person approach to care: supporting your body's own healing processes instead of only managing symptoms.

How It Works

Celluma uses a process called photobiomodulation, which simply means using specific colors of light to influence how your cells behave.

Here is the short version:

Your cells absorb the light. Red and near-infrared light reach the skin and the tissue just beneath it, where parts of your cells (the mitochondria, your cells' energy producers) absorb it.
Your cells get a gentle boost. Research suggests this supports cellular energy production, improves local blood flow, and helps calm inflammation.
Your body does the rest. With regular sessions, that extra support may help skin look smoother and clearer and help sore muscles and joints feel better.
Blue light targets acne. On the acne setting, blue light is used to help reduce the bacteria and inflammation that contribute to breakouts.

The light is not a laser and does not use ultraviolet (UV) rays, so it does not tan or burn skin. Most people feel gentle warmth, or nothing at all.

What the Research Says

Photobiomodulation (the science behind Celluma) is one of the more widely studied light-based therapies. A panel of dermatology experts reviewing the research concluded it is safe for adults and effective for several conditions, including peripheral neuropathy, certain hair loss, and some chronic wounds. Reviews of clinical trials also show promising results for knee osteoarthritis pain and fibromyalgia.

The evidence is not equally strong for every condition, and some studies have found little or no benefit, for example for pain after childbirth tears. We will always tell you honestly what to expect for your goals, and we use light therapy alongside, not instead of, your other care.

What a Session Looks Like

A session takes about 30 minutes and is simple and relaxing.

Check-in. We review your goals and the area you want to treat. Your first visit includes a brief health review.
Set-up. You get comfortable, and we place the flexible panel over or just above the treatment area. Clean, bare skin works best, so please come without makeup, lotion, or sunscreen on the area. If the face is treated, we provide protective eyewear.
Treatment. Lie back, listen to music, or rest. Most people feel gentle warmth or nothing at all.
Done. There is no downtime. You can return to normal activities right away.

Is Light Therapy Right for You?

Light therapy is a good fit for many adults who want a non-invasive option for stubborn acne, early signs of skin aging, or ongoing muscle and joint aches. It is a low-risk treatment, and the most common side effects are mild and short-lived, such as temporary redness or warmth in the treated area.

Please talk with us first if you:

Are pregnant or nursing
Are taking medications or using products that make your skin more sensitive to light (some antibiotics, acne medications such as isotretinoin, and certain supplements or herbs)
Have a history of skin cancer or a suspicious skin lesion in the treatment area
Have a condition that is triggered or worsened by light, such as lupus or epilepsy
Have an implanted device or tattoo in the treatment area
Are under 18

This list is not complete. We will review your history and medications at your first visit to make sure light therapy is a safe choice for you.
