How the light works
Celluma LED uses specific visible light wavelengths absorbed by skin cells. Energy from the light acts on bacteria associated with breakouts and on cellular processes that drive inflammation. This phototherapy does not involve needles or lasers; it relies on light interaction with skin which can reduce redness and the size of pimples over repeated sessions without cutting or topical medication application during the session.
Because the device delivers light without breaking the skin, the therapy is described as non-invasive and generally well tolerated. Outcomes depend on acne severity, skin type, and consistency of treatments. At Lasting Beauty Spa we offer this option as an add-on to complement other acne care rather than as a single guaranteed cure.
What to expect during treatment
A typical appointment places the curved Celluma panel over the treatment area while you relax. Sessions are brief—the add-on lasts 15 minutes—and many clients report gentle warmth or mild tingling rather than pain. No topical preparation or anesthesia is required at the spa, though clients are usually asked to arrive with clean skin or to remove makeup before the session.
Because this is an add-on service priced at $50 and taking 15 minutes, it fits easily into busy schedules along the Burke Road corridor and nearby commute routes like I-45. We offer evening and weekend times for commuters, shift workers and family schedules common in Pasadena and surrounding communities.
Who may benefit most
Celluma LED is commonly chosen by people managing inflammatory acne, persistent redness and occasional pimples who want a non-invasive adjunctive therapy. It can support topical regimens by targeting acne-causing bacteria and calming inflammation; however, individual responses vary and it works best as part of a broader skin care plan discussed with our team.
Seasonality matters locally: Pasadena’s hot, humid summers and back-to-school routines drive higher demand in July, August and September. Many clients seek extra sessions during those months when flare-ups are more likely. If you have severe or cystic acne, consult your dermatologist before relying on LED therapy alone and inform our staff of any prescription treatments.
