Unlike other types of light therapy, Celluma’s devices do not contain ultraviolet rays (such as UVA – cause of skin aging, UVB – cause of sunburn). Therefore, they’re safe for regular use.
In general, side effects from Red Light Therapy are rare. If they do occur, they typically involve temporary redness of the skin in the treated area. Side effects are minor and do not last long.
