The Guiding Light 

Nearly 11 years ago, Patrick Johnson founded BioPhotas, Inc., the manufacturer of the award-winning Celluma SERIES of light therapy devices, on a single guiding vision – to bring the vast therapeutic benefits of low-level light therapy (LLLT) affordably and effectively to the world.  

To accomplish this vision, Johnson and BioPhotas created an entirely new approach to low-level light therapy. Instead of creating a large piece of capital equipment with a rigid light canopy-style panel attached, the Celluma SERIES of devices were designed to be flexible and shape-taking, contouring closely to the area of treatment, thus leveraging the laws of optical physics, and resulting in a dramatically less expensive device that delivers a clinically optimal dose of light energy.  

With more than 50,000 devices now in clinical practices worldwide, this innovative approach to light therapy has resulted in Celluma Light Therapy becoming the global leader in light therapy machines. Celluma is currently sold in 98 countries, recently adding distribution partners in Croatia, Vietnam, and Peru. Addressing acne, aging skin, general pain conditions, and now hair restoration, the Celluma SERIES of 14 devices has won more than 50 product and design awards since 2015.  

The all-in-one Celluma RESTORE is the first LED device that is FDA-cleared for over-the-counter use to treat mature clients’ three common concerns in a single device: hair loss, aging skin, and general pain conditions. 

Commenting on the latest addition to the product line, Johnson said, “It is great to add a hair restoration indication-for-use to our long list of treatment clearances from the FDA. Providing a single device that treats whole body aches and pains, fine lines and wrinkles, and hair loss on the scalp is the ultimate antiaging device. Now a mature individual interested in feeling and looking great, and retaining their youthful appearance, can have a device at home that meets all of their rejuvenating needs.” The Celluma RESTORE is targeted directly at the multi-billion-dollar global health and wellness market, specifically, the noninvasive hair restoration segment of the medical aesthetics industry.  

At Celluma, the innovation always continues. Now with 14 award-winning models to choose from and affiliate, reseller, and retail programs available, there is truly a device and a partnership program to suit everyone. And knowing Celluma, the best is yet to come. 

“I have a great deal of admiration for the Celluma Team! Under Patrick Johnson’s guidance, they have retained steadfast adherence to providing solid, evidence-based low-level light technology.” -Ryan Spitler, Ph.D, deputy director of the Precision Health and Integrated Diagnostics Center at Stanford University School of Medicine
