01Broadband light and skin targets
Review the principles of light interaction with the skin and the relevance of different targets. Distinguish an IPL spectrum from a laser wavelength. Explore why the intended application, skin characteristics and equipment configuration must be considered together when assessing a service.
02Spectra Amplica configurations
Examine interchangeable filters, the contact handpiece and the information that identifies a specific Spectra Amplica model. Distinguish the standard broadband light configuration from the version with a separate NIR handpiece. Course enquiries can focus on the equipment your clinic actually uses.
03Consultation before selection
Structure the history, skin observations and discussion of client expectations before considering a light-based procedure. Review previous treatments, reasons for postponement and situations requiring further assessment. Address cosmetic concerns within the practitioner's role and avoid using an aesthetic consultation as a medical diagnosis.
04From objective to documented plan
Explore the relationship between filter choice, pulse characteristics, cooling and treatment coverage without relying on a universal setting. Review protective arrangements, consent, preparation and device-specific assessment procedures. Practical content depends on the prerequisites and scope confirmed for the participant.
05Photographs, aftercare and review
Plan consistent image capture and notes so changes can be assessed meaningfully. Develop clear aftercare explanations and a route for reporting concerns. Use case discussions to consider when observations support continuing, changing or referring a plan for further assessment.
