Photobiomodulation refers to non-thermal, non-ablative and non-acoustic treatments. It is the application of low-energy light. To start, stimulate and enhance biochemical processes already present in the body. This therapy is commonly referred to as low-level laser therapy (LLLT), LED-therapy, chromotherapy and red-light therapy. Both low-energy lasers and LED devices are used for this therapy. It is in general a gentle, calming and relaxing treatment.
 
Photobiomodulation uses light to stimulate, heal, regenerate, and protect tissue that has either been injured, is degenerating, or else is at risk of dying. Photobiomodulation is only possible during a photochemical reaction. A photochemical reaction is when light is absorbed and it then start, enhance and/or regulates biochemical reactions present in the body. This light should not cause any thermal reaction (heat) in the body, since a thermal reaction causes an inflammatory response that stops photobiomodulation.
 
Photobiomodulation is the overlooked, misunderstood stepchild of the aesthetic laser and light industry. It is the most researched form of laser therapy by thousands of universities world-wide and yet it is seen as boring and ineffective by most people in the aesthetic industry. The reason is that it does not have the get-rich-quick-lure that high-power laser treatments have.
 
The equipment is very affordable and results can be dramatic. Running costs are extremely low, because you don’t need consumables, the equipment is usually maintenance free and the direct cost of treatment is almost neglectable. The catch is that you have to take the time to figure it out.
 
Once you’ve taken the time to figure this out, you have a knowledge set that you can build a career and a profitable business on.

In practice it means that photobiomodulation can only be achieved with low-level laser or LED-devices. High-power laser and IPL devices are not suitable for this type of treatments.
Photobiomodulation is the name that is currently used in the scientific community. But, there are many other names in use. Maybe you know it as LED therapy, Low-level Laser Therapy (LLLT), Soft Laser, Cold Laser, Chromotherapy or simply Light Therapy.
 
Photobiomodulation is the most researched sub-type of laser therapy. There is currently more than 20 000 academic research papers from many universities world-wide about the different applications of photobiomodulation.
 
Almost every salon and spa nowadays has at least one photobiomodulation device. This can range from a LED mask to a class 3 laser. Unfortunately, very few devise owners and users are trained to fully optimize there equipment.
 
Three things you will gain from this course.
Firstly, it gives you a solid scientific foundation to build your career on. Thorough knowledge of the science behind laser and LED therapy enables you to consistently deliver successful treatment after treatment.
 
Secondly, it gives you comprehensive laser safety training. A quick overview of contraindications is not safety training that ensures that you and your client are safe during and after a treatment. This course deals with safety before, during and after a treatment. You will no longer have to deal with unexpected side effects.
 
Thirdly, it introduces you to a wide range of treatments that you can perform with your low-level laser or LED-device. Your income potential will skyrocket because you will be able to provide a wide range of treatments without having to change your equipment.
 
You will discover how:
To provide a whole new range of well-being treatments with your existing equipment.
Science makes it possible for someone to sculpture his or her body without diet or exercise.
To prevent a visible scar after an operation or trauma.
To always have youthful beautiful skin.
To live without pain.
To treat systemic diseases like arthritis without any medication.
To improve brain function and boost study and exam results.
