Pain Management
Natural, non-invasive pain relief
A Modern Approach to Pain Management with Red Light Therapy
According to the Centers for Disease Control, an estimated 20% of American adults suffer from chronic pain, contributing to skyrocketing healthcare bills, lost productivity, and poor quality of life across the nation. People are desperate for more than something that just masks their symptoms…they are looking for healing and long-term relief. Whether you are looking for relief from a chronic condition like arthritis or healing of a specific injury (i.e. an ankle sprain or a strained muscle), red light therapy is an effective, non-toxic, and easy-to-use option.
Red and near-infrared (NIR) therapy use specific, proven wavelengths to stimulate a natural response in human tissue that can increase circulation, accelerate tissue repair, ease muscle pain, relieve joint stiffness, and enhance overall cell performance on a microscopic level. Much like a cell phone charger increases the battery power of your cell phone, red light therapy increases the energy in your cells to promote healing of the muscle or injured tissue.
How it Works
Manage Your Pain with Light Therapy
Research shows human bodies absorb particles of light (photons) and transform that light energy into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the form of energy that powers metabolic processes, improves cellular performance, and encourages tissue repair and regeneration. Infrared light is clinically proven to penetrate deep below the skin’s surface layer targeting muscle and joint pain at the source.

The Science of LED Red Light Therapy for Arthritis & Pain Management
Poor circulation and the lack of oxygen and other essential molecules (i.e., glucose, Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)) in blood vessels can cause pain or a lack of sensation. Light energy stimulates the release of nitric oxide, causing blood vessels to increase in diameter (vasodilation) and allowing more blood flow, oxygen, and other important factors to be delivered. This increase in oxygen and nutrients increases ATP production, which activates pain relieving pathways. This decreases pain and inflammation and increases tissue regeneration in the localized area to promote healing. This reduction in inflammation is what those suffering from osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are searching for.
What all that means is that inflammation is the root cause of a lot of muscle and joint issues associated with arthritis. But you can get relief of these debilitating aches and pains with red light therapy, which is safe, non-invasive, and requires no prescription. Choosing an FDA-cleared device can help you treat a wide variety of muscle, joint, and skin conditions. Medical grade light therapy is your secret weapon to help with post-workout recovery, muscle sprains, and joint pain caused by injury, overuse, or a chronic condition such as arthritis.
When it comes to effective treatment of pain conditions with LED red and infrared light therapy, wavelength is key. Compared to blue light therapy, near-infrared wavelengths can penetrate deep into the muscle and joint tissue to alleviate pain, increase circulation and decrease inflammation. Infrared light therapy provides compromised cells with extra energy to accelerate the natural repair of compromised tissue cells, foster cell production, and restore homeostasis within the body.
Pain Management Wavelengths
Celluma devices emit multiple proven wavelengths of light energy simultaneously for compounded therapeutic benefits.
Celuma's "Pain Mode" treatment is dominant with red light (640nm) and near-infrared light (880nm) wavelengths and contain a small amount of blue light (465nm).
Each treatment mode is a proprietary algorithm that produces the correct combinations of wavelengths and fluence that deliver the results supported by clinical studies.

Frequently Asked Questions
Low-level-light therapy or photobiomodulation is based on Light Emitting Diode (LED) technology and is the application of specific wavelengths of light energy to the body for therapeutic benefits. It promotes a natural photobiochemical reaction similar to the process of plant photosynthesis. Just like plants, humans absorb red and infrared (IR) light energy into the mitochondria within our cells, transforming into energy (ATP) and producing a cascade of metabolic effects and proven health benefits.
Think of it as giving your skin, body, and hair a natural energy boost. By penetrating deep into the tissues, this light therapy helps to improve blood circulation and enhance the activity of your cells, encouraging them to repair, regenerate, and function more effectively. This process can lead to healthier skin, reduced inflammation, relief from muscle and joint pain, and for your hair, it means stronger roots, less shedding, and even new growth.
There are several distinct advantages only found with Celluma. Here’s a few…
Revolutionary Flexibility and Shape-ability
Celluma stands out with its patented flexible, shape-taking design, designed to contour around the body, ensuring optimal delivery of light energy to the body. It also eliminates the need for stands, cradles, and other supports.
Multiple FDA-Cleared Treatment Modes
If you find a single Light Therapy device FDA cleared with two, three or even four different treatment modes, you are probably holding a Celluma. This makes them so useful to everyone in your house, because you can select a combination of therapies from treating hair loss, wrinkles and aches and pains, to acne and even body contouring.

LED Light Therapy is a highly safe and non-invasive treatment, making it suitable for all skin types and ages. Unlike other light-based treatments, it doesn’t use UV rays, so there’s no risk of burning or skin damage. The light emitted by the LEDs penetrates the skin gently, promoting healing and rejuvenation without any discomfort or downtime.
This therapy has been extensively studied and used in clinical settings for decades, with a strong track record of safety. Celluma follows the science of safety and efficacy very closely and that is why it has been FDA-cleared for various applications, including skin care, hair restoration, and pain management. The vast majority people experience no side effects, and the treatment is so gentle that it can be used regularly to maintain skin and hair health.
However, there are some important contraindications to consider:
- All photo-sensitive drugs are a contraindication for low-level light therapy.
- Allow 3-5 days before administering light therapy and consult your doctor if you have recently been taking photo-sensitive prescriptions.
- Do not use if you are on steroidal medication – injections only.
- Do not use it over a pregnant belly (but you can use it over the face).
- Do not use if you have a history of epilepsy or seizures.
- Do not use over any cancer or any known metastasis before getting clearance from your doctor(s).
In all of the above, or with children under 12, always consult your primary care physician before using Celluma or any light therapy product.
We have an array of options for everyone’s needs and budget.
All of our devices use the same premium, medical-grade LED technology, and deliver the same light energy output and effectiveness per square centimeter of treatment area.
Our devices differ in 2 ways: size and what treatment modes they are programmed with.
LED Size Options
We have five options from smallest to largest:
- Mini Handheld device
- Small Single LED panels
- Large Single LED panels
- Multi-panel LED devices
- Full-Body LED blankets
The Large Single LED panels (like the #1 best-selling Celluma PRO) have more LED’s and cover a 30% larger surface area than the Small Single LED Panels. More coverage = faster results.
For facial treatments, the Large panels cover from the hairline to the chin. The Small panels (like the Celluma RESTORE) cover from eyebrow to chin.
The CONTOUR PLUS is our flagship multi-panel option, and supports up to 3 large panels for 3x the coverage of the Celluma PRO.
The DELUX & DELUX XL are our full-body LED options in two sizes.
Treatment Programs
Choosing the right program is all about your needs and what conditions you are trying to treat.
Celluma devices come with 1-5 FDA-cleared programs. They are:
- Acne
- Wrinkles
- Contour
- Hair Growth
- Aches & Pains
Each program is a different proprietary algorithm that runs on a microprocessor to control a number of variables such as light wavelength, energy dose, pulsed light, and light wave modulation in order to provide optimized results that are based on clinical outcomes.
Recommendations
For faster results, we recommend investing in at least a Large Single LED panel, like the PRO or PRO PLUS. This is the preferred size for facial treatments and pain relief.
For the most treatment options and coverage, we recommend the 3-panel, 4-mode Celluma CONTOUR or CONTOUR PLUS.
For maximum portability and treating smaller areas of the body, the Small Single LED panels like the HOME, FACE, RESTORE, LITE, and NOVA are great options. The POD is great for spot-treatments.
For Hair growth, the FDA-cleared devices include the RESTORE, the NOVA, the ELITE, and the CONTOUR PLUS.
And for the ultimate experience in full-body LED light therapy, the DELUX is the way to go.
