LED Therapies Professional Treatment Guide

Online LED Light Therapy Treatment Guide for Estheticians: Photobiomodulation, Wavelength Selection & Professional Facial Protocols

LED light therapy is about far more than selecting a color and turning on a device, it requires an understanding of how different wavelengths interact with the skin, how to select treatment settings according to the client’s needs, and how to safely integrate light therapy into a professional facial.
