Red Light Therapy with Celluma®

Non-invasive light therapy designed to support cellular energy, circulation, recovery, skin health, and relief of muscle and joint pain.

Red Light Therapy with Celluma®

Light that works below the surface.

Red light therapy—also known as photobiomodulation or low-level light therapy—uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate natural biological processes within the body.

At Elevate Wellness, we use Celluma®, an FDA-cleared light therapy system that delivers clinically studied wavelengths of red and near-infrared light in a comfortable, non-invasive treatment.

Whether you're focused on recovery, discomfort, skin health, or simply adding another restorative therapy to your wellness routine, Celluma offers a treatment that requires nothing more from you than time to relax.

Why Celluma®?

Not all red light devices are the same. Celluma® is an FDA-cleared professional light therapy system that uses clinically studied wavelengths of light. Its patented flexible design allows the light source to be positioned close to the treatment area rather than relying on a rigid panel positioned farther away. The specific treatment mode and area used will depend on your individual goals.

  • Fine Lines + Wrinkles
  • Hair Rejuvenation
  • Body Contour
  • Acne Support
  • Aches + Pain Relief

A closer look

A closer look at Red Light Therapy with Celluma®

Understand how Celluma® works and how treatment may support different goals.

How Does Red Light Therapy Work?

Red and near-infrared light penetrate the skin at different depths and are absorbed by light-sensitive components within cells.

One of the primary targets is the mitochondria—the structures responsible for producing much of the energy your cells use.

This process can influence the production of adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, and other cellular signaling processes associated with circulation, inflammation and tissue repair.

In simpler terms: the light provides energy your cells can use to support their normal functions.

Recovery + Pain

Give your body another tool for recovery.

Red and near-infrared light therapy may be used to support circulation and address temporary muscle and joint discomfort, tension, and soreness.

It can be particularly appealing after exercise, periods of increased physical activity, or simply when your body feels like it needs additional recovery.

Because Celluma® is non-invasive, there's no injection, medication, or downtime involved.

Skin Health

Support your skin from within.

Red light therapy is also widely used in aesthetic care. Celluma®'s red and near-infrared wavelengths can be used as part of a skin-health routine focused on the appearance of aging skin and wrinkles. Celluma® also offers blue-light technology for acne treatment.

Rather than resurfacing or removing layers of skin, light therapy works through photobiomodulation—making it a gentle option for patients interested in supporting skin health without downtime.

What Does a Celluma® Session Feel Like?

This may be the easiest thing you do for yourself all day.

You'll relax comfortably while the Celluma® device is positioned over or around the area being treated.

The treatment itself is non-invasive. There's no need to exercise, actively participate, or recover afterward.

You simply lie back and let the light do the work.

How to Prepare for a Session

For the best results, please arrive with clean, dry skin free of lotions, oils, makeup, or skincare products. Direct contact with bare skin allows the Celluma® light therapy to work most effectively. We recommend wearing comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the treatment area. If needed, you may cleanse your skin in our office before your session, and garments are available for you to change into to ensure a comfortable treatment experience.

Inside Elevate Wellness in Fairfax

The Elevate difference

The Elevate Difference

At Elevate Wellness, restorative therapies don't have to exist in isolation. Celluma® can be used on its own or incorporated into a broader wellness plan based on your goals. It can also pair naturally with other Elevate Wellness therapies—such as Flowpresso® lymphatic drainage, IV therapy, or other aspects of your personalized wellness plan—when appropriate.

The goal isn't to add more treatments simply for the sake of doing more. It's to choose therapies that make sense for what you're trying to accomplish.
