Light Therapy
Light-based skin treatment with documented effect
Light therapy is a modern treatment method that uses different light frequencies to influence the skin’s cells and processes. LED light in specific wavelengths can stimulate collagen production, reduce inflammation, kill acne bacteria and support the skin’s natural healing.
In this specialisation you learn to use light therapy as an effective tool in your facial and skin treatments.
What will you learn?
- The physics of light — understanding wavelengths, frequencies and how different colours affect the skin
- Red light — stimulates collagen production and cell renewal, well suited for anti-ageing and healing
- Blue light — antibacterial effect, effective against acne and impurities
- Green light — evens out skin tone and can reduce pigmentation and redness
- Yellow light — stimulates the lymphatic system and can have a calming effect on sensitive skin
- Treatment protocol — step-by-step structure of a light treatment, including duration, distance and combination with other treatments
- Contraindications — medical light sensitivity, epilepsy, pregnancy and other conditions where light treatment should be avoided
- Equipment — correct use, maintenance and safety
Who is it for?
Light therapy is relevant for clients with a broad range of skin needs: acne, ageing, redness, pigmentation and generally dull skin. The treatment is non-invasive and painless, which makes it accessible for most skin types.
Demand in the industry
LED light therapy is one of the fastest-growing treatment types in the beauty industry. Clients appreciate that the treatment is gentle, requires no downtime and can be combined with other facial treatments for better results.
