Many spas and wellness centers now offer specific anti-aging treatments to combat a wide variety of side effects of the aging process, including red LED light therapy. And while we can’t turn back the hands of time, there are steps we can take to improve and maintain our best appearance.
So how can we safely and effectively reduce and even reverse the effects of aging?
Collagen
When it comes to aging, a significant factor that leads to wrinkles, fine lines, and joint pain are due to inadequate collagen levels. Collagen is the main structural protein found in your skin and other connective tissue. Collagen literally holds our bodies together.
Healthy collagen levels are what give us a glowing complexion, firm skin, strong nails, dense bones, and healthy hair. It is also essential in keeping muscles, joints, and tendons in healthy working order. Simply put, the more our bodies produce collagen, the better we will look and feel as we get older.
Signs of Aging
Knowing how important collagen is to our body systems, Stratford Acupuncture & Nutritional Wellness center offers Celluma Light Therapy for our patients looking to help boost collagen production within their bodies. Proven red and near-infrared wavelengths are utilized in our Celluma Elite series of LED light therapy to combat the signs of aging. These specific wavelengths of light energy are clinically verified to enhance your body's natural ability to generate collagen and elastin by activating the fibroblast cells. Benefits of light therapy go beyond collagen production: Fibroblast cells are responsible for producing collagen and elastin, the two most common proteins in connective tissue. However, as we age, our fibroblasts become compromised resulting in lower levels of these proteins. We might start noticing decreased elasticity in our skin, wrinkles, and our joints may not move as freely as they used to. This is due to lower levels of collagen, which leads to the breaking down of cartilage which can cause inflammation, soreness, stiffness, arthritis, and prolonged recovery time after physical activity. Other common signs of aging can include:
- Skin deterioration
- Melasma
- Arthritis
- Inflammation
- Chronic joint and muscle pain
- Keratosis
Aging Treatment with LED Light Therapy
Knowing how important collagen is to our body systems, Stratford Acupuncture & Nutritional Wellness center offers Celluma Light Therapy for our patients looking to help boost collagen production within their bodies.
Proven red and near-infrared wavelengths are utilized in our Celluma Elite series of LED light therapy to combat the signs of aging. These specific wavelengths of light energy are clinically verified to enhance your body's natural ability to generate collagen and elastin by activating the fibroblast cells.
Benefits of light therapy go beyond collagen production:
- Cell generation to replace old cells (mitosis)
- Reduction and prevention of cell death (apoptosis)
- Neurogenesis (new neurons)
- Development of new capillaries (angiogenesis)
- Increased blood flow
- Enhanced Nitric Oxide production
Once you start your treatments, you will notice:
- Skin rejuvenation and the reduction of wrinkles and fine lines
- Accelerated healing of chronic wounds.
- General pain reduction including muscle, joint and arthritic pains.
What Does It Feel Like to Use Celluma?
Using Celluma light therapy devices can be very relaxing. A single session lasts approximately 30 minutes. Most patients experience immediate results and leave their skin feeling like it is glowing. Stiff, sore, and painful joints may experience improvements with one to three sessions. Keep in mind that results will vary from patient to patient depending on the severity of the condition and adherence to protocols.
