Description
Course overview:
LED Light Therapy is an excellent add-on service to your treatment list advancing your skills to perform advanced facial treatments. We recommend the use of the mask as an extra cost to all your aesthetic treatments, such as our Microdermabrasion, Dermaplaning, and Chemical peel courses. The treatment is quick and painless with no downtime and has a great calming effect on the skin.
LED Phototherapy is a non-invasive facial/body treatment that uses narrow band, non-thermal LED light energy to trigger your body’s natural cell processes to accelerate rejuvenation and repair of the skin, as well as anyone looking to restore skin’s radiance.
The LED (light-emitting diode) lights stimulate our cells and kick-start many processes which help rejuvenate the skin. First, LED therapy stimulates cells called fibroblasts which produce collagen. It also slows down the production of enzymes that break down collagen and make older skin lose its elasticity. The LED light therapy also speeds up cell production, making skin regenerate faster which in turn creates fresher-looking complexions.
Add this sought-after treatment to your portfolio and add a lucrative additional revenue stream to your business.
