LED Light Therapy

LED Light Therapy Lesson

LED therapy is a non-invasive form of phototherapy that uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate regenerative processes in the skin. In this lesson, you’ll explore the mechanism of photobiomodulation, the impact of light on fibroblasts, collagen production, and the reduction of inflammation. You’ll also learn about the therapeutic effects of red, blue, green, and other light colors used in cosmetology.

What you’ll learn – theory

• Understand the fundamentals of LED light therapy – a non-invasive method that supports skin regeneration using targeted wavelengths.
• Learn how LED light interacts with the skin – including its effects on fibroblasts, collagen synthesis, and inflammation reduction.
• Explore the therapeutic functions of different light colors – red (regeneration and anti-aging), blue (antibacterial and anti-acne), green (brightening), and others used in aesthetic practice.
• Discover the benefits of LED therapy – improved skin tone and hydration, reduced redness, acne, and signs of aging.
• Review the structure of cells and tissues – to better understand the skin’s reaction to light exposure.
• Understand the facial bone structure – important for positioning the lamp properly during treatment.
• Explore facial vascularization – to support healthy circulation and detoxification processes.
• Review facial innervation – and how it relates to sensitivity and client comfort during LED sessions.
• Learn about facial muscles – and how muscle tension may decrease after treatment.
• Understand the skin’s anatomy – including the layers reached by LED light and how they respond to therapy.
• Discuss common skin conditions – including those that are contraindications or indications for LED treatment.
• Study safety and hygiene protocols – including device disinfection, eye protection, and proper control of distance and exposure time.
• Review contraindications to LED therapy – such as cancer, epilepsy, and photosensitivity.
• Learn how to identify skin types and perform diagnostics – to match the correct light color and treatment time.
• Understand skin aging processes – and how LED light can delay or reduce their visible effects.
• Learn how to qualify clients for the procedure – based on their skin needs, contraindications, and expectations.
• Set up your workspace properly – including device placement and surface protection.
• Get to know products that enhance LED therapy – such as serums, gel masks, and light-permeable skincare products.
• Master the LED light therapy procedure step by step – from skin prep to device settings and exposure time.
• Learn post-treatment care – to support results and prevent irritation.
• Combine LED therapy with other treatments – such as hydrogen cleansing, peels, or microneedling.

What you’ll learn – practice

• Set up your LED treatment station – including lamp positioning, cable safety, and efficient space organization.
• Get familiar with materials used during therapy – protective eyewear, light-permeable products, towels, disinfectants.
• Prepare the client’s skin – cleansing, drying, and applying active serums if needed.
• Practice the LED light therapy step by step – setting parameters, adjusting exposure time, and ensuring client comfort.
