Avoid taking Accutane or using light therapy if you have a skin disorder or rash. Though LED therapy is safe, overly dry sensitive skin responds differently to treatment. Ask Shot Bar if an alternative treatment might be a better fit for for achieving your best possible results.

Why We Love It
Gentle
LED light therapy is a gentle and effective way to promote healing and reduce inflammation. It doesn’t cause sun damage or irritation like other, more invasive treatments. No pain is associated with light therapy treatment.
Healing
Light therapy has been tested and found to promote the healing of tissue and collagen production. If you have age spots, acne, or need healing from invasive treatments, post-procedure, LED therapy can help!
FDA-Cleared
Celluma® LED light therapy devices are Class II medical devices. They’ve undergone extensive testing and have been cleared by the FDA to treat inflammatory acne, wrinkles, muscle pain and tension, low blood circulation, and more.
For the Science Babes
For LED light therapy, we use blue, red, and near-infrared wavelengths. The benefit of using three wavelengths is that light-absorbing molecules respond to different light energies, resulting in a targeted increase in cellular activity.
Blue light penetrates through the epidermis and kills acne and acne-causing bacteria. Red light penetrates the dermal layer and has been shown to enhance collagen and elastin production. Near-infrared light penetrates deeper than other wavelengths to increase tissue repair, decrease inflammation, and even alleviate pain.
The Play-by-Play
The LED Light Therapy Process
Step 1
Consultation
Your treatment journey begins with your in-person or remote consultation. You can chat with us about your skin concerns and desired outcome for treatment. Depending on your needs and goals, we may recommend a different treatment or treatments to use in combination with red light therapy in Lincoln Park.
Step 2
Treatment
Make sure your skin is clean and freshly washed. Treatments last 30 minutes. You will lie on your back or stomach, depending on the area that needs treatment, and the Celluma LED light source will be placed directly over you. We will position the device as close to your skin as possible to ensure the best results. All you have to do is wait.
Step 3
Next Steps
You can resume your normal activities after a phototherapy session. We recommend that for continuing results, Celluma LED therapy should be used regularly, as often as every day. This treatment is often used in combination with other treatments in order to enhance results. We have many other treatments that enhance the effects of light therapy!
