LED Light Therapy Course

Add LED Light Therapy To Your Treatment Menu

LED is the least demanding treatment on this page to deliver and the easiest to sell alongside something else. The client lies under the light while you do nothing, which means it costs you very little chair time beyond what you are already spending, and it turns a facial into a longer, higher-priced appointment without much extra work.

It is also the shortest course we offer in this category, with three focused LED units: what the therapy is, its uses and benefits, and safety and side effects. The Foundation, Anatomy and Physiology and Skin Healthcare modules make up the remainder, for 26 units in all. Video demonstrations and an eBook, kept for life.

What You’ll Be Able To Do

• Explain what each wavelength is used for, in terms a client will follow
• Match a light to the concern a client has actually come in with
• Set session length and spacing rather than guessing
• Work through the safety considerations, including eye protection
• Recognise the side effects that can occur and what to tell a client about them
• Add LED onto treatments you already offer without lengthening your own working time

What To Learn Alongside LED Light Therapy

LED earns its keep bolted onto something else. It is the natural finish after dermaplaning, microdermabrasion or hydradermabrasion, when the skin has just been exfoliated and the client is happy to lie still for a while longer. Therapists who are building a skin menu from scratch usually pair LED with one exfoliation treatment first. All of them sit inside the Ultimate Facial Course.

LED Light Therapy Course FAQs

How Long Does The LED Light Therapy Course Take?

This is the shortest of our skin courses at 26 units, and the LED section itself is only three of them. Students often finish the treatment material in a single sitting and then work through the Anatomy and Physiology module at their own pace. As with every course here, access does not expire.

Can I Really Learn LED Light Therapy Online?

This is the treatment best suited to online learning of anything on this page, because the skill is in knowing which light to choose and for how long rather than in what your hands do. The video demonstrations show the set-up and positioning; the judgement comes from the units on uses and benefits.

How Am I Assessed?

All 26 units are assessed online as you work through them. Every unit is assessed, and if an assessment needs another try there is no limit on resubmissions and no extra charge. With only three treatment units here, most of the assessment weight falls on the anatomy and skin health material rather than the LED section itself.

Is The LED Light Therapy Course Accredited?

No — a certificate on completion, not an accreditation. LED devices vary widely in output, and insurers sometimes ask which device you are using rather than only what training you hold, so have your machine’s specification to hand when you speak to them.

Do I Need To Be Qualified In Beauty Already?

Less so than for the other treatments here, because nothing is being abraded, cut or dissolved. That said, the Skin Healthcare module matters: some skin conditions and some medications make light treatment unwise, and knowing which is the difference between a safe add-on and a problem.

What Equipment Do I Need?

An LED panel, mask or lamp, and protective eyewear for both you and the client. Devices range enormously in price and in how many wavelengths they offer, so read the uses and benefits unit before you buy — it will tell you which wavelengths you actually need for the clients you see. Nothing is supplied by us.

Does It Cover The Business Side?

Yes, in the twelve-unit Foundation module. LED is unusual in that it is almost always sold as an upgrade rather than on its own, so the units on promoting products and services and on taking payments are the ones worth reading with your existing treatment list open beside you.

Can I Pay In Instalments?

Yes. You can spread the cost over three interest-free payments at the checkout.
