Light therapy continues to enjoy greater acceptance and popularity in the medical aesthetic field.  As a result, we have seen a plethora of non-regulated devices of unknown origin flooding the market in recent years. While selecting the best LED device for your practice might seem like a daunting task, a little research can go a long way. The most reliable research can be found in peer-reviewed and published studies on low-level light therapy. Be careful of social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram, which are certainly fun but not exactly reliable as sources of material when it comes to investigating medical devices and aesthetic protocols.
