New Release: Celluma POD S2
Focused Treatment. Real Results.
First off, let’s review…
What is LED Therapy?
Light Emitting Diode (LED) Therapy is a non-invasive, painless treatment safe for all skin types, that uses specific wavelengths of light energy to stimulate the skin at a cellular level.
First discovered by NASA in the ‘90s for wound healing, LED technology has since been extensively studied and used in medical and aesthetic settings to support skin health, reduce inflammation, and encourage collagen production.
While once reserved for in-office treatments, this very technology has been condensed to hand-held devices like Celluma’s POD S2.
With a 6 x 2.75-inch treatment area, the Celluma POD S2 is compact enough for portability while still delivering effective, targeted treatments where you need them.
Features:
Designed for convenient, on-the-go use
Adjustable Velcro straps for hands-free application
Up to 10 treatments per battery charge
30-minute treatment sessions
Like all Celluma devices, the POD S2 is FDA-cleared for its designated treatment indications. What makes this model stand out is that it addresses four distinct conditions, offering broader versatility than many LED devices available.
I appreciate that the treatment protocols are realistic and manageable. For example, to see improvement in acne, the recommendation is to use the POD three times per week for four weeks. That’s incredibly doable!
Since the device is lightweight and portable, you can strap it on and go about your evening — watch TV, work at your computer, or handle tasks around the house. It’s very much a “set it and forget it” experience.
Contraindications
LED therapy should not be used:
If you are taking photosensitizing medications or have recently received steroid injections
Over the abdomen during pregnancy (facial treatments are safe)
If you have a history of epilepsy or seizures
Over areas of active cancer or known metastasis without physician clearance
Still rockin’ that Shark Beauty LED Mask too…
Cons?
There aren’t many specific drawbacks to this device. The main one I’d say applies to all red light therapy: it requires consistency. Results won’t happen overnight.
Additionally, the smaller surface area may be a downside for those wanting full-face or larger-area treatments in a single session. Since it’s designed for targeted use, you’ll need to move it around for broader coverage.
It’s also pricey for the size.
I’ve been treating my neck via the aging/wrinkles mode and have seen a softer result thus far. I use it following a shower, and before I apply any of my skincare products.
Keep in mind, light therapy works best when there’s no barrier interfering with light absorption. I look forward to checking back in as I continue to use this device.
