KEY TAKEAWAYS: In this article, licensed esthetician and businesswoman Ebony Overstreet shares insight about the benefits of LED light therapy for clients as well as the business-boosting effects adding light therapy can have on a beauty pro's business, profit, and bottom line.

What Beauty Pros Need to Know About LED Light Therapy 

LED light therapy traces its roots back to NASA's research in the 1980s, where it was initially used to accelerate plant growth in space. 

Soon after, scientists discovered its profound effects on human tissue regeneration and wound healing. 

Since then, LED therapy has evolved into a staple in the beauty industry, offering safe and gentle treatments with impressive results.

Let’s Talk Color: Light Therapy Color Variations 

The most commonly discussed LED light therapy is often red light. This type of light therapy does provide a variety of benefits for clients and is a must-consider offering–but it's not the only kind of light therapy your clients can benefit from.

There's an entire spectrum of light therapy that can provide unique benefits based on the color. Below are some of the need-to-know color variations to consider for your light therapy services. 

• Red Light: Stimulates collagen production, reduces inflammation, and promotes overall skin rejuvenation. Ideal for minimizing fine lines, wrinkles, and improving skin texture.

• Blue Light: Targets acne-causing bacteria, effectively treating breakouts and preventing future flare-ups. It also regulates oil production, resulting in clearer, smoother skin.

• Green Light: Calms and balances the skin, reducing redness and irritation. It helps alleviate hyperpigmentation and promotes an even skin tone.

• Yellow Light: Enhances lymphatic drainage and circulation, reducing puffiness and swelling. It also promotes detoxification, making it beneficial for treating cellulite and body contouring.

• Purple Light: Combines the benefits of red and blue light, making it effective for both anti-aging and acne treatments.

• White Light: Penetrates deeply into the skin, promoting tissue repair and accelerating healing processes. It also boosts overall skin health and vitality.

Important Considerations to Understand for LED Light Therapy

Before undergoing LED light therapy, it's essential to consider the following factors:

• Hydration: Drink plenty of water before and after the treatment to keep the skin hydrated and facilitate toxin elimination.

• Eye Protection: Wear appropriate eye protection to shield your eyes from the bright LED lights during the session.

• Sun Sensitivity: Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or tanning beds before and after the treatment, as LED therapy can increase photosensitivity.

• Contraindications: Certain medical conditions, such as epilepsy, lupus, or pregnancy, may contraindicate LED light therapy. It's crucial to consult with a qualified esthetician or healthcare professional before proceeding with the treatment.
